Based on my agonizing experience, the answer is a clear & resounding "No." They exacerbated existing difficulties & created entirely new problems which spiraled out of control with seemingly no end in sight.

I gained an APPALLING amount of weight along with skyrocketing levels of cholesterol & a blood pressure that kept rising. **** that! There was no slowing it let alone reversing the damage being done while on those pills.

Dropping them was the best thing I've ever done. I wish I had done so right off the bat.
