"i was on this medication about 2 yrs ago and taken off after 3 days (and 5 lb less) do to irregular heart beats, now this, was told by the blood drive when i went to go donate. was told i couldn&#039;t donate that day,  next i was asked to go to the er, but decided to go see my regular dr. dr sent me to go getting an ekg and all was fine.  2 yrs later i asked my dr again, now another family dr to see if i could try it one more time. i&#039;ve been on this med for about 2 weeks now, lost 12 lb. i&#039;m shooting for 50 lb off at least, so i got quite a bit to go. i&#039;ve been monitoring my heart and blood pressure n i&#039;ve been ok. side affects so far are dry mouth, insomnia, and constipation. i&#039;m 36yrs 5&#039;2 and weighted 219.5 when i started. i&#039;m so excited!!!!"
