Bro, my cousin was on this and he definitely put on some weight within a couple of months. He said he just wanted to munch on things all the time. Try to keep some healthy snacks like makhana nearby so you don't eat junk.

My mother used to say that any strong medicine needs proper food and rest to work. Weight gain is a known effect of this medicine, but we must trust our doctor's choice for our mental well-being. Regular walks and home-cooked meals will keep it in check.
