"i discontinued using this after 2 weeks due to the side effects i felt: nausea, sweating, dry mouth, trouble sleeping.  i think i may have lost 1-2 lbs during that time. i guess it works because you&#039;re too sick to eat anything and lose weight that way.  it didn&#039;t work for me.  it&#039;s also very expensive and most health insurance does not cover it.  one month supply that i ended wasting most of the pills was $92."
