I've been on it for years, but only 10 mgs for sleep. It can cause weight gain-but as most of the people here replied-it didn't for them, so you never know. It makes me feel a little , uh, dizzy, if I take two of them. But I feel dizzy half the time anyway. Yeah, the only thing I noticed when I went off it, was a return of depression after about three days and it only lasted for a few days-but no horrible physical things. But I'm on a low dose. I hear some people are on 100mgs or more a day. You'd most likely have to taper then. It should help you sleep well. If you don't like it, you could look into trazadone. Good luck!
