Yikes, yes. Over a three-year period I gained 50 pounds. Didn't fit any of my clothes anymore. It was so depressing. I went up two, almost three, dress sizes, so at one point I was a 12 (US 8) going on 14. Almost didn't recognise myself. When I came off it and switched to Lamictal, I lost it all in six months, so back to being a size 8 (US 4) now. I could finally wear my clothes again - it was like going shopping in my own wardrobe as most of it I had not been able to wear for 2+ years! I now feel like myself again whenever I look in the mirror. Being so big was soul-destroying for me.
