onfi making me gain to much weight!

Mon, 09/07/2015 - 22:20

before I got on onfi I was a size 5 very thin. my eating habits didn't change. but in a matter of 7 months. I went from a size 5 to a size 10 and about 6 months later I was size 16 before onfi I was like 116 pounds- 120 the most. then I became about 160. now I am in the 215. I am dieting. but onfi still makes me bigger and bigger. I can't go hungy and I can't get of it. it the only drug that make my sezuires good. it like a catch 22. onfi good but has the worse side effects then any.

I just started Omfi, I have

I just started Omfi, I have been really hesitant about it.  I stopped taking Chlonzapam in exchange and I am trying to get as much info as I can about it.  I am so sorry to hear this, I am about your same weight.  Many, many, many years ago I took Depakote it made me gain weight as well, no matter what I did I could not loose it.  How bad were your seizures and what kind did you have before taking Omfi?
