Anyone here gain a significant amount of weight on this injection? I gained about 50lbs on it during the first 5 months (have been on it a year)

I'm not on it, but that's a pretty common side effect. If it's really an issue, or causing other health issues, there are other meds in the same class that are weight negative or weight neutral.
