"this medication was the magic bullet for me anxiety wise and depression wise. i slept extremely well and my anxiety plummeted. i would have definitely stayed on it if it weren&#039;t for the atrocious weight gain! i am normally 110 lbs or so, and within 1.5 months was up to 130lbs! during this time i wasn&#039;t eating much more than normal and i was skateboarding, canoeing, and running yet still putting on weight. i was the happiest, yet the fattest i had ever been on this drug, so it was love/hate relationship. i decided to go off of it because i couldn&#039;t tolerate the weight. was a shame, since it was extremely effective for me otherwise. oh well."
