What else have you tried? Have you tried any sleeping pills? Seroquel is the only thing that has worked for me, but unfortunately you can get the weight gain. Sometimes lack of sleep is caused by a slightly manic state, so you might benefit from trying another atypical antipsychotic, some are less likely to cause weight gain.
Also, what else are you taking? It could also be your mood stabilizer causing the weight gain.
