I hope it makes you personally lose weight.
The nimh website can probably tell you what you want to know about side effects.
I did badly on it. It made me a zombie, I could not think, I had no drive to do anything,
I felt almost locked inside myself. And then there was the whole my body thinks I'm pregnant thing
where I gained weight that looked exactly like a growing baby.
Don't want to scare you, if it works for you that's awesome :-)
