"made it up to the 4 a day dose. unfortunately, no reduced cravings yet and still very hungry. no pick up in my motivation to diet or exercise either. hopeful but beginning to think it&#039;s not going to work for me. others report immediate weight loss. not here!!! also, feeling a little more anxious and agitated at this dose. :/ the odd thing is, is that it has helped tremendously with my chronic back pain. i would stay on it just for that reason. had significantly lowered my pain level."
