"i was put on this about a year ago (20mg) and i thought it was helping pretty good for my anxiety but like 3 months into it i was noticing some weight gain. then about 6 months the weight gain has gotten worse and i gained about a good 40 pounds and i felt as if i was never full anymore and i was constantly hungry even a few minutes after i would eat a full meal. i am weening off of it now and in the process of trying lorazapam (ativan) so we&#039;ll see how that works. other than that i would recommend at least try this since everyone might not experience weigh gain and excessive hunger like i did."
