If it helps people who can't lose the weight with traditional methods,
sounds like a good thing to me.

I've done some looking around the 'net on it, and it looks pretty safe.
Has other positive side effects too such as raising HDL cholesterol
levels.

I heard that you can double the effectiveness of the drug if you drink it
with a big glass of water. And then go for a brisk walk to circulate it well
throughout the body. Make sure there is no food in your stomach when you
take it, because it slows down the absorption of the main ingredient. Don't
believe me though, it's just what I've heard. :o)

Considering it's effect on brain chemistry, i'd not be surprised...

Thanks!

My Dr. has already offered it to me as soon as it becomes available.

The primary side effect seems to be nausea, which could cause weight
loss all on it's own even if the drug does nothing. Heck, we could
prescribe the flu for weight loss and it'd be just as effective. 😉

Reminds me of having an IUD over 20 years ago, and being in pain and
bleeding constantly for months before they removed it. I always
thought that was a great method of birth control, make the patient feel
too crappy to have sex.

Seriously, I just don't like new drugs. A lot of really bad side
effects never seem to show up in the preliminary studies required for
FDA approval, but only in the larger population. A few years down the
line, they'll discover this causes your liver to fall out or something.

As a general rule, I don't like taking anything that hasn't been out
long enough to be available as a generic. Heck, when I need an
antibiotic, I ask for sulfa drugs. The only thing I tend to want right
away are vaccines.

That's my thought. If it's available a decade from now, it might be
interesting. Meanwhile, who the hell knows what the hell the stuff
does?

good advice..but you left of "you fat fu**"
