So yes, you will probably lightly experience munchies mostly at night and into the morning from the antihistamine properties which could cause weight gain and that requires restraint which I have been trying to do with my (considerably) larger than 25mg dose.
Would it affect lipid profile change at 25 mg, it seems unlikely, but nobody can say, just as I can't say that at 25mg it would do nothing for mania but seems relatively low down on the transmitter range for that use. Maybe just a very minor notch. But obviously your doctor does think it might help that as well.-- tidings
