"my biggest concern was weight gain. i&#039;ve just finished my first month of zarah, and have actually lost a pound or two, but i&#039;m pretty sure it&#039;s just water weight. the good stuff about zarah: reduced/no water retention. no increased appetite. my breasts haven&#039;t been swollen/tender. pmdd symptoms are much milder. the neutral/bleh stuff about zarah: still have some moodiness while the hormones adjust. definitely having bouts of nausea. but i&#039;ll take nausea over no weight gain/slight weight loss any day."
