"beware.  started this drug 6 days ago along with diet and exercise.  i lost 8 lbs in 5 days. my side effects were , severe cough, dizziness, headache, fatigue, and flu like symptoms.  on day 5 i didn&#039;t like how i was feeling . i decided to stop taking it. i didn&#039;t think it was worth waiting for those effects to go away, even if they did. my cough subsided quite a bit in such a short time. today , day 6, the start of my second day without the pill, i awoke this morning , sat on the bed, and started to cough . i started to gasp for a breath, and there was no air. several minutes later i was wondering why my eyebrow and cheek along with my body hurt.  i opened my eyes and realized i blacked out and was lying face down on the wood floor.  run"
