This med is good but the problem for a lot of people is that it comes with weight gain and in some cases a lot of extra weight. I gained over sixty pounds in a little over five months while on this med and it was a little bit scary so I took myself off of it. Now the weight gain will not happen to everyone who takes it but there is a very good chance it will happen.
