HI Bookgurl,
For me, I didn't have an appetite increase; BUT I had an appetite DECREASE when I stopped it. I don't think Dep. causes appetite increases as much as what it does to the transporting of fat to energy or something like that. I've read that if you take L-Carnitine with it; it'll provide energy and seems to reverse what the Dep. does in weight gain. I took it while on Dep. and I didn't gain weight - but i didn't lose either. Dep. for me did make me a bit more lethargic. it's the type of drug it is so I took it at night and the l-carn. 30min. before breakfast. I take 750mg now and when I started I was taking 2g of L-Carn. Take it in the morning and you can find out what dose works for you.
