"i was put on it plus wellbutrin to stabilize my mood. for 3 months i was extremely nauseous, unable to eat a thing. i lost  - 12kg&#039;s. the side effects were tingling in my hands and feet, a feeling that my head was being pulled to one side, metallic taste, extreme brain fog, loss of vocab (i sounded like an idiot, i could hardly string a sentence together), attention span diminished and extreme muscle weakness. i became socially anxious/awkward and still am. i developed a strange curry-like smell to me. i stopped when i fell pregnant and put on 24kg&#039;s, still holding on to 9kg&#039;s. it seems to have ruined my metabolism. i loved the appetite suppression (why i stayed on it) but won&#039;t go back on it, the side effects are too severe. and expensive"
