I understand fully not wanting to gain weight. If I had gained instead of losing weight on Lex I would have been EXTREMELY upset!!!! I have been overweight most of my adult life and I'm still over my "recommended" weight for my age and height.
From reading posts here I think finding an answer to your question would be difficult as there seem to be just as many people gaining weight on the different meds as there are people who lose weight. You may not know for your self until you try each one....which sounds absolutely awful!!!
If you have taken other meds, you may be able to extrapolate how you will react to the meds by how similar they are to each other, and your reactions to each.
Sorry again if I offended you and best of luck to us all!
