worked well, but my god the weight gain was horrible !! If you thought the first week or so on this med was bad, wait till you try and come off !! brain zaps and flu like symptoms and my joints in my whole body hurts and still does after 6 months. The weight will not come off, i gained 15 pounds in 3 weeks after coming off ! ! It totally screws up your metablism.
