"i decided to start taking sibutramine to lose weight that i had gained last year. i chose this because you can use it long-term, unlike the stimulants. when i first started it i barely noticed any effects (15mg). my weight was 240lbs starting. then, about a week in i started to notice a major reduction in appetite and was doing quite well. i was able to get down to 231lbs in 1.5 weeks. sadly this weight loss came with major dysphoric side-effects, such as tremors, anxiety, muscle twitch, insomnia, mood swings, akathesia, etc. it felt like i was poisoned/going crazy. therefore, i had to stop it. i wish i could have continued as the weight loss was going great. bad reactions stopped after discontinuing the sibutramine."
