I took this drug for 2 years. I was put on it the end of 6th grade and taken off of it in the 9th grade. I know I put on a significant amount of weight. I put on over 100 pounds in 9 months. I went from a size 14 to a size 26. My previous doctor took me off of it, because it was causing me to gain too much weight. At that moment, I gained so much weight, that I was starting to develop health related problems such as high cholesterol, high triglycerides, high blood sugar and high blood pressure. I was almost classified as "diabetic." in 2003, at 5'4" and 262 pounds, I had a BMI of 45. I was classified as "morbidly obese."
