Hi rcat
I'm on it and another one, but I'm type 2 diabetic. It took years before I lost weight, but I don't credit that med for it, it was more the stress of depression and things happening in life. My doc told me it helps because it makes you lose your appetite. I know I did for a while but now my antidepressant is making me hungry much of the time. Also I'm sure you know, it slows how the blood sugar is released. Have you noticed a fishy smell, just curious. If i put my nose in the bottle, yuck, I thought no wonder I don't have an appetite.

I hadn't heard it was used for weight loss. Honestly, if I had a choice I wouldn't take it. I know one reason I was losing weight, which wasn't a pleasant one. Really hard on the stomach and bowel issues if you know what I mean. Many can't tolerate it. I'm glad it's helping you though.
