Was told it would increase appetite and help me gain weight. Obviously most people seem to hate this - but I desperately need to gain about 3 stone... and quickly! I have severe OCD also and was told this could help that. I know it's mainly for depression and a huge sedative. But the tiredness is not a problem, I have no energy due to my very low weight anyway at the moment and do not work... I take 2mg diazepam for bad panic attacks, only when needed. I am slightly worried that the drowziness may make me forget to do things or I do something silly, like pour fairy liquid into my porridge, but I'm assuming it doesn't really cause that? I have emetophobia, which is why it was suggested to me over prozac, as it is unlikely to cause gastro side effects.
So I was just wondering if it does seem to give everyone the weight gain? It would make such a difference to my life if I had an appetite and could gain weight, I am overjoyed at the thought of that, I just really hope it does...
I was also wondering if anyone else with OCD has found it helped?
edit: what painkillers do you all take on this? I usually take Nurofen Meltlets but not sure if I'm allowed.
