"this med helps me depression so much! i have severe depression and anxiety and it helps with everything - the sadness, irritability, anxiety, social anxiety, you name it. unfortunately it causes major weight gain. i mean, i gained 40 lbs in a few months so i weaned off of it, lost the weight with no lifestyle changes. tried other meds but nothing worked as well so i have it another try. again, weight gain. no lifestyle changes and gained 70lbs in 4 months. repeat weaning. repeat weight loss. became suicidal. had to go back on the med. remained on it for 9 years gained 150 lbs and remained stable there. recently went off again and i&#039;m trying to find another med because i can&#039;t handle obesity but can&#039;t find another med that works as well!"
