"this medication isn&#039;t for everyone, but if you are desperate, why not give it a chance?  just do your reading beforehand and compare- know the risks.



i started with a bmi over 40 and have consistently lost 10lbs a month. before, even with the most diligent meal plan/exercise routine i would waffle and gain without explanation, losing a half pound in a good week (w/ medical issues and getting discouraged, i always gained in the end). trust me, i tried everything short of surgery.



i experienced several side effects and let me tell you some of them come on with a vengeance.  however, they go away, at least they did for me.  the worst and longest was nausea, but even that resolved after about two months.



i am finally hopeful :) good luck"
