"i am 21, very fit and active. although i&#039;ve had two kids, i only weigh about 140, and i work out daily (4-5 days a week) i walk 3.5 miles a day and go to the gym. i began taking zarah in hopes that it wouldn&#039;t cause weight gain, however, i have gained 5lbs in the first week. not to mention i cannot lose the weight no matter how hard i try! keep in mind i also diet. i have retained so much fluid, and this medicine caused crazy mood swings and irritability. i also bled when i wasn&#039;t on my period. i stopped using zarah about a week ago... i&#039;ve lost those 5lbs, no more mood swings and i feel much better."
