"negative side effects:
1. weight gain: i&#039;m very petite, &amp; i workout at least 4 times a week. i track my activity using a fitbit, &amp; while taking this bc my activity was actually higher than the previous month. that being said, i still gained about 7 pounds. my appetite increased, but not enough to justify this weight gain. by my calculations, i should have been losing weight due to higher activity levels. additionally, the eight gain only occurred around my mid section, &amp; felt bloated and uncomfortable.
2. mood swings: i rarely cry, and when i do it&#039;s for good reason. with this bc, i wanted to cry over everything. 
3. acne- my skin was clear before taking this, &amp; now i have cystic acne all over my forehead and cheeks."
