Hi Lizzy,
I think the weight gain hit me about 10 or 11 months into taking the drug. I gained the 30 pounds in about 3 months! I read a FAQ on a site with a Dr. that said this is something they are now discovering, a delayed burst of weight gain. I am in the process of weaning myself off the drug because my brain just feels fried, can't remember stuff, losing train of thought constantly, and clenching my jaw was becoming too painful. I took 40mg at night, now doing 20mg, but I'm not finding info on how long the withdrawal symptoms last, a week? I don't want to feel really crumby at work for more than a day or two. Good luck on the drug, but from what I can see, I can cope better without it and was so much more motivated before I started, even though I was hell to live with!
Kathy
