That's what we've been told! I have been on for 6 weeks, but have not seen any real weight change that i can attribute to the pill.  It is getting to be wintertime, i've been eating more and exercising less, so i think that's what it is.  But everyone is different...

I've been taking it a month and have not seen any weight gain. Everyone is different though.
I feel so much better. I feel like the success story!

I take it too and never noticed any weight gain. I know it can make you lose a bit of weight from the early side effects from getting used to it. But Ive never gained any after I got used to it. Eating did come easier! Im sure it can cause you to gain weight but that doesn't mean it will.

Definitely no weight gain for me. A lot of the wait gain just has to deal with people eatting more because you tend to eat less when you are depressed or anxious. Just be concious of your eating habits when you start to feel better, and you shouldnt have anything to worry about.
