    Uggghhh 30 lbs but my anxiety is actually gone. I couldn't afford to gain 2:30 and I'm having a hard time losing it but the worst part is I tried Lexapro for 8 months before that and gain 15 from it so I'm up 45 pounds in a year and a half

    I gained about a stone (14lb) which went straight to my middle. Two things have helped:

    Changing  the time I take it from morning to 9pm so the tiredness kicks in an hour later and I’m asleep when any cravings might come along 

    Exercise - we’ve got a dog now and walk about 5 miles a day. 

    Otherwise pretty sure I would be the size of a house by now!

      Have you lost any of the weight?  I take mine at night too because I think it helps me to sleep good!  What dose do you take?   So far I havent had any cravings since I crave sweets and carbs anyways.  I am Pre diabetic and take metformin so hoping that will help my cravings if they come up!  I try not to eat sweets and or carbs even though I want them all the time!

      I have lost it now yeah but still squishy round the middle! I actually lost weight in the first couple of months but it piled on afterwards. As long as you exercise and eat well it should be ok 👍

    I have lost 15pounds. I am on 100mg for a month   Mostly I think it is because of the nausea. I have no interest in food. This is not like me.
