Yes, I took it years ago. It made me sleep 18+ hours a day, and then, the few hours I was awake, I would eat anything not nailed down; to the point where my stomach hurt soooo much from overeating, but my brain was screaming that I was still starving :/ Not surprisingly, all of that made me more depressed, which is ironic considering it's supposedly an AD!
However, my grandfather took it to increase his appetite and make him sleep better at night, and it didn't have that effect on him. It was basically useless for what we wanted it for.
I'm assuming that you are considering it, or have been prescribed it? If so, good luck! Unfortunately the only way to know with meds is to try and see how it affects you, as their effects vary so widely.
