I prescribed it in HS and it did not work for me. It made me more depressed. I don't know that it made a difference in my weight though.

I took it and it made me stay awake for 72 hours. Can't speak to weight gain but that was my experience.

I took it briefly for anxiety.

No weight gain. Loss, if anything.

It seems to regulate my moods and anxiety pretty well. However, if you miss a dose or if/when you would start weaning off of it, the withdrawal effects are pretty brutal. Overall, I am pretty happy on it, have been for about 4 years now.

I've been on it for about 10 years with no weight gain. Withdrawals are a bitch, though. If I'm even an hour late taking a dose, I feel like puke. I can't not take it though, cause it controls my anxiety better than anything else.
