I've been on 50mg since Feb 2017.  In Feb/March I lost about 2lbs and then from April-June another 11lbs all without trying.  I didn't change my exercise or diet routines.

Has this happened to anyone else?  Just curious.

I do have some insomnia, and sweating, and a few other side effects but my anxiety is near non-existant now which is why I take this drug.  The good outweighs the bad in my case!

    Hey exactly same as you sweating and lost weight not that I am complaint  , I have lost about the same weight, but I needed it for insomnia and it still hasn’t helped much I am on 100mg and want to reduce  it down to 50mg my anxiety lately been so so bad and the ocd has stared.

    I love the weight loss side effect as could have done with a pushy I lose weight but am so exhausted and tired.
