I hated the way it made me feel and took myself off of it after 3 weeks. I got through the grieving process without the help of drugs and am doing fine now - I just needed time.
However, I have known people who were on it and it worked beautifully for (for depression). I've never known anyone to use it for weight gain, but that may just be that no one I know has said that was why they were on it.
I really think it depends on you and your biochemistry. Every person is going to react differently so asking how others reacted isn't going to help you much. Like for me, the effects were horrible (I do mean that).
Sorry if I wasn't clear. People don't use it for weight gain, it sometimes is a side effect of the pill because it can slow peoples metabolism. Some experience weight loss too. I know these pills are my last resort, I have struggled too long and tried everything I can to control this. But I fear the bad side effects. What were the bad side effects you experienced?
