"i absolutely hates this drug and do not recommend it to anyone. not only did i not lose any weight while on it, despite eating less, eating healthier, and exercising more, it seriously affected my mental health. it messed with my mind so much, by week 4 i was feeling really bad. and of course you can&#039;t just quit, you have to wean off. i had to have a whole additional anti-anxiety med added to combat the side effects and it still wasn&#039;t enough. once i finally got off i was so much better mentally. i&#039;d rather be overweight than ever go through that experience again."
