Weight Loss
"I&#039;m coming to the end of one year on this medication. It has worked very well for me, causing almost a 50 pound weight loss. I went from the initial low 3+ mg dose to a 11.25 mg. Some things I noticed while taking this medication:



*High irritability/moodiness/depression for the first 2-3 days after increasing doses (I&#039;m also on Citalopram)

*I&#039;ve lost this weight without having to change my diet or add exercise. It has simply decreased my appetite.

*Now that I&#039;m stepping down the dosage, I&#039;m experiencing high levels of hunger and am gaining roughly five pounds per week (consistent for the past 2-3 weeks)"
