"just signing on to echo what many others have expressed.  since i began taking this medication, i don&#039;t feel the ravenous, physical hunger that i used to feel, nor am i having those all-too-familiar &quot;comfort food&quot; cravings.  i don&#039;t feel &quot;amped up,&quot; and have had no trouble sleeping.  the only side effect i&#039;ve noticed (i don&#039;t consider it a negative side effect) is that i am experiencing slightly altered taste.  flavors don&#039;t seem to come through as &quot;vividly&quot; as before, which is helpful in reducing interest in the foods that i need to stay away from anyway!  i&#039;ve dropped pounds effortlessly.  this medication has been extremely helpful after injury-induced weight gain.  definitely a godsend!"
