"my obgyn just prescribed this medication based on 15% unexplained weight gain over the past 2 years due to peri-menopausal symptoms. i&#039;m 5&#039;10&quot; and weigh 140-145lbs. i have always maintained this weight even between and after both pregnancies. my youngest is now 5 years old and i&#039;m suddenly up to 168. i took my first dose on tuesday (4/24) at 12:30pm. my doc warned me that if i may feel jittery (crawling out of my skin feeling) over the first few days. i&#039;m happy to report that i have had no such ill side effect and sleeping better than before. as of this morning (4/27 day 3) i am 165lbs. it is the best feeling i&#039;ve had in months! make that years! it&#039;s the boost in confidence that i&#039;ve been so desperately seeking! two thumbs up so far!"
