"My VA doctor started me on this medication for my PTSD,  bipolar, mood disorder and alcohol abuse, I've been on this medication for two weeks, I'm 48, disabled combat marine, big guy 6'3 260lb I'm ramping up on this med, right now 25mg twice a day, and have gained 12 pounds, I crave food constantly, but not alcohol, I can't sleep very well but the constant craving of food and gaining weight brothers me, I get paid once a month started this on the 5th and now having to ration my food I don't eat everything before the month is up, I do have some fatigue, but mostly weight gain. I just started this med, but I'm happy I don't crave alcohol, and don't have rage attacks, thanks semper Fi"
