"when i first started taking this medication, i lost 13lbs in the first month! i was very surprised at the results, as was my doctor, and i had little side effects. i did not do anything other than work at my job place, no extra exercise.  after that month, i stopped the medication. now i am 25lbs bigger than i was before i lost the 13lbs. i am back to taking it, but am not doing as good as i had before. it may be because, my husband and i miscarried our 1st child in the 7th week of pregnancy.  this may have changed the way my body reacts to things. although it was a hard time, i didn&#039;t overeat after that. i ate better to get healthier if i become pregnant again, so the gain in weight was not from overeating. i hope to see better results soon."
