obesity
"I have been on this medication for a little more than a week. I have lost about 12 pounds so far. I think it's important to note that everyone experiences the medicine and side effects differently.  Some of these reviews would lead people to believe that your cravings go away entirely.  For me, they haven't.  But seeing the numbers go down on the scale when I make good choices has given me the confidence and support I need to resist the diminished cravings I have.  As for side effects, I had 3 days of really bad nausea and stomach cramps about 2 days after starting the medication, but it resolved itself.  No insomnia or jitters.  A little dry mouth, but nothing unmanageable."
