"i started this medication for bulimia. it worked - partially.  from the day i took it i did not purge the entire time i was on it. i still binged though, and i gained weight. i didn&#039;t have an urge to exercise and ultimately that is why i am going off it. as well as the lack of energy, motivation and interest to exercise, that spilled over into the rest of my life. 
i lost interest in socializing, working, cleaning, cooking (very hard to just do anyways), i stopped sleeping, and after a year i didn&#039;t want to even watch tv or read. it&#039;s very hard to get off of and i insist people read reviews on withdrawing. it&#039;s been tough physically although i feel better mentally already. it served its purpose, but i should have gone off it after 6 months."
