I also gained weight with this, almost 10lbs right away. It did help with some of the pain but not enough to gain that kind of weight. I stopped taking it. I actually stopped taking all but my pain meds and sleep meds. I have lost the 10 plus a few more by just eating better. All of the meds they have been giving me were not helping and just had way too many side effects. I, of course. **do not** suggest this for anyone. I stopped them slowly and talked to my doctor first.
