"like most people on this thread i&#039;ve gained weight and thought it was from the holidays and vacations. i&#039;ve been dieting and working out and the scale has only gone up. i had to switch to this brand bc my other one was discontinued. it&#039;s not the same! the pharmacy told me it is.... it&#039;s not. i&#039;m just realizing this now! calling my dr. on monday to get off this horribleness! i really gave this brand a shot. it&#039;s been 3 months and my clothes don&#039;t fit me. i&#039;m so upset!"
