"i just started taking this medication yesterday. my craving have subsided which is great. no adverse side effects as of yet but one thing i notice is my mood is brighter. i believe this medication is in the same family as many antidepressants. i am a psychiatric rn and never would have considered myself depressed, but i feel better and brighter since taking this medication. i am not sure if my health plus will cover any of my future prescriptions but i will be willing to pay the cost. my goal, of course, is to lose weight. it is too early to determine if that will happen, but i intend to keep posting the progress."
