Nexito 20 mg can cause insomnia or sleepiness both. It differs from patient to patient. Its preferably given in the morning to avoid keeping awake at night. However if you feel sleepy after taking it then it can be taken at night instead. This side effect does't happen always. Also if you have taken it already for some time then you might already know how it's affecting u. Ie if your feeling sleepy or wakeful. Take medicine as suggested above. It can also be associated with some weight gain. However it can be managed by healthy lifestyle and exercising regularly. However if you r very concerned about weight gain then you can request your psychiatrist to switch you to a more weight neutral antidepressant like bupropion. It does not cause weight gain.

So you need to adopt few mind sets changes techniques or therapies to manage, so that you can overcome this problem permanently.

In some persons (not majority), nexito may cause sleeplessness. If that happens to you, just take the tablet after breakfast or lunch, and you should be fine. Nexito is generally not known to cause weight gain, and if such happens, you need to consider other things first like pcod itself, hypothyroidism etc.

In few it can cause weight gain, but it is a good antidepressant. You can have strict dietary schedule and physical activity and maintain weight. If not, it has to be changed. Good luck.
