It does cause weight gain but I've been able to lose the initial weight and keep weight off with metformin so not really bad for me.
I was really afraid of it and took a long time to come to terms that I needed it but there just weren't any other drugs that were reasonable for me and I was desperate. I went on it fast (I cross-tapered from high dose Seroquel while IP) and I started feeling better about 10 days in and felt better by maybe 3 months. I don't remember how fast specifically but it was fairly quick to act.
