"caused excessive weight gain (60+lbs) very quickly (despite me eating less), caused a weird decrease in cognitive ability, higher blood pressure (i already have hypertension, thanks), elevated blood sugar levels and probably other things i&#039;m forgetting... i&#039;ve been put on this against my will repeatedly because it&#039;s a medicaid favored drug in my state, but it does not work for me. i still have medicaid but go to a private pay shrink because he listens."
