Just depends on how you respond to the medication. It is not that the medication is going to make you gain weight, but how it may affect your eating habits when your anxiety is under control. Eat sensibly and exercise if you can and you shouldn't notice a difference.

I'm with Pepper. Anxiety has a pretty negative effect on my ability to eat. I've never heard of weight gain being an issue.
