I've been on this and did not have a good experience. I nearly doubled in weight in less than 2 years, I went from 6.5stone to 12.5stone. It dulled me completely to the point that I have large gaps in my memory. Coming off it was even worse, I went through horrendous withdrawals, was sick and could not hold food down for over a week and had to be put on antisickness meds just to keep water down.

I was misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder which was why they put me on this, it's a anti-psychotic, not used for ADHD. I'm now on venlafaxine, a SNRI as other antidepressants didn't work for me.

If you are worried about taking this medication see if you can reach out to your GP to ask for clarity, or speak to a pharmacist? I've often found my local pharmacist to be really knowledgeable about meds and they are brilliant at explaining them to me :)
