"i just started a trial package my doctor gave me 9 days ago. i&#039;ve had no side effects other than headache, which has been tolerable and treated with advil. the main benefit i&#039;ve noticed is that i&#039;m not constantly hungry, so it&#039;s helping control my eating. i&#039;ve lost 3 lbs, which seems minimal to others&#039; reviews, but i&#039;m happy how it&#039;s going so far with no side effects. i started with the trial package because my insurance doesn&#039;t cover the medication, so i wanted to make sure i could tolerate any effects.  i&#039;ll plan to continue using the medicine."
