"when i first started i had bad side effects. such as feeling like a head cold etc. anxiety. trouble seeing. headaches. but they did wear off. then i was ok but for really bad cognitive problems. unable to remember things at work. some problems talking. but as long as i was losing weight. finally i realized i was having loose stools due to this drug and came close to a couple of accidents. that was it. i stopped. yikes i had horrible withdrawal. heart palpitations, nausea. i am weening off. 

when i got off the drug i don&#039;t think i ate anymore but i gained 4 lbs the week after cutting back the dose. i found a similar thing when i started.. for the first two weeks i didn&#039;t lose any weight but then lost fast. something is up with that."
