"yes, definitely helps with weight loss. however, side effects worsened for me instead of improving. i lost 10 lbs before i even got to the last dosage (less than 4 weeks). when i increased to 2.4, my body went crazy. heart palpitations, trouble sleeping was horrible. the nausea in the first days was a piece of cake. had to quit coffee to avoid my heart going crazy. i tried reducing my dose, side effects continued to worsen. i say if you are lucky to have manageable side effects, go for it, but destroying my heart isn&#039;t worth it. i&#039;m sitting here now, can&#039;t fall asleep and worried about having a heart attack. i have had chest pains all day. proceed with caution."
