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.

That terrifies me. I had weight loss surgery. My stomach can only hold about 5oz before it becomes uncomfortable. I've only over eaten 2 times and it was so extremely painful. No amount of throwing up until I was dry heaving until that got painful. I took so much sleep medicine but the pain was so bad that I ended up just sitting against my door in this weird state of being extremely tired but in too much pain to sleep. There was no way to sit, stand, lay, nothing helped the pain. It's because I physically stretched out my tiny stomach. I don't mind the sleeping part but over eating terrifies me.
Edit: yes. My doctor called it in and it's at the pharmacy to pick up.
