"this drug was prescribed by a dr to me to help me with weight loss.  following the instructions to take the medication was to say the least was a problem. i had to get one of those pill boxes to make sure i did it exactly right.  about the third week i was not feeling very well and i had not lost any weight to speak of.  however i was feeling agitated and sleepy during the day do to anxiety when i would try to sleep. my dr. didn&#039;t help me with this medicine and never talked to about side affects. i asked for some help with my weight during a yearly check up and she gave me this prescription and said to come back in 3 months. this medicine cost is very high. i came off of the medicine the same way i started taking it lowering my dose slowly."
