"i started taking the medication in mid may, and will be off mid october.  i weighed in at 208lbs, at 5ft tall.  i gained a lot of weigh after a serious injury last year.  the only side effect i experienced was insomnia.  for the 1st month, only slept 2-3 hrs/night.  good thing it gave me a lot of energy because i wasn&#039;t really tired. after a month my body adjusted and i slept longer periods.  from the injury wasn&#039;t able to exercise, but still went from 208 to 152lbs! its a miracle in a bottle.  dr recommends taking me off for 2 months, then will begin again mid december.  hope to lose last 37 lbs.  goal 115lbs."
