I heard it's a very good medication, but I personally didn't like it. As other people have mentioned, be sure that you exercise and watch what you're eating to avoid gaining excessive weight. I found that snacking on veggies a lot helped me and other plant based snacks helped avoid uneeded calorie intake. The medication will most likely make you feel lethargic at first, but give it a month or so to see how you really like it. I hope it works well for you
