"been on 2mg once a day for just over 4 months. mostly wiped out my anxiety and panic attacks, but does nothing for my waves of agitation and irritability. i was reluctant to try it because of the weight gain. now i regret it, as i have gained 50 pounds!!! i am the heaviest i&#039;ve ever been and hate it. my pdoc wanted to raise it at last appointment, or try me on another antipsychotic (i didn&#039;t realise how heavier i was at that point). i&#039;m gonna choose the latter option when i next see her. the weight gain on this is worse than quetiapine (which i also came off for the same reason)."
