My sister took that medication and did gain weight very rapidly. She stopped it for that very reason. It does something to the transmitters in your brain that make you crave carbohydrates. I don’t know if it happens to everyone but for my sister the weight gain was very rapid. As soon as she stopped it- she started to slowly lose what she had gained and now she’s back to the way she was. I had a doctor that wanted to prescribe that to me for some anxiety I was experiencing it I told that doctor to take a hike.
