I was on 5 mg and didn't notice an increase in weight. When I started taking 10 mg, I noticed and automatic increase in weight. I wonder if there is a link to the dosage.
Now, I am really watching what I eat and exercising every day. I haven't noticed an decrease in weight. How frustrating! I may go back down to the 5 mg. It depends if I can maintain this weight. I don't want to gain 15 pounds like I did on Prozac. Like Prozac, I had the initial decrease in weight, then all of a sudden the pants get tighter for no change in appetite. I watch everything I put in my mouth. If I eat something sweet, I cut down on the other foods. I really work at the balancing game. Now, that I am on this drug, I am compulsive about the eating and exercise. I don't want to have to change my whole closet of clothes again. Whew!
