weight gain

hi, I am 22 months off a 12 day taper of Klonipin and Lunesta, cold turkey off Lexapro.  This was in UK.... at 18 months, I was put back no Lexapro when I returned to the US..I have since gained about 25 lbs..disgusted..I took Lexapo for 15 yrs and never gained a pound before. My gut is huge and my flesh feels spongey and flabby, I hate it...I never became a complete couch potato from feeling awful, and have since given up some really fattening habits and been walking as much as possible.  My question is, could this massive body be down to the tail end of recovery or is it more likely the Lexapro? I have started cutting my tablets in half as I want this gone if its the cause.  Thank you

I have really had difficulty in regulating my weight.  It almost feels like water weight some days.  No matter what I do--the weight seems to stay--not sure if it is age or withdrawal recovery.  I am about 15-20 pounds heavy.  25 months out

I had Seroquel and put on 30 kg fat in 6 months. It is awful. I was reading that seroquel and others antipsychoic meds can give metabole syndrome. I used to weight 50 kg. Now 80 kg. I am ashamed of how I look like. I stopped seroquel this monday. I hope it will stop now. And that I can loose a lot of weight. Do you take any Seroquel or similar? I had Seroquel for depression. It gave me even more depression. So now am I depressed fat in w/d and so sick and tired of my mental state and body
