Hey Gabbi,
> I'm only on a low dose though 500mgs so I'm not sure if that would lessen the risk.
Maybe, but here is what I have found: IF you are susceptible to the weight gain (and like Roo said, not everyone, in fact nearly half on average, is) then you won't gain weight UNTIL you take a therapeutic dose. I can guarantee that your 500mg dose in not therapeutic unless you are an anorexic waif -- it's just too little. I needed 1000mg just to reach the bottom end of therapeutic and that still wasn't enough. Now I'm at 1500mg and it is working.
