Took it for 2 years and it made no difference until I was up to 60 mg for about 3-6 months but even then I'm not sure that it really helped. Did not put on weight or feel any more exhausted than before. Just goes to show that everything is unique to each of us.

Best advice I can give you is to take as prescribed and if you notice any adverse reactions report to your Dr/PDoc. Not everyone suffers the standard contraindications and not everyone of us will get any benefit - you need to try, monitor and try increased dosage or something else.

Hoping the best for you.
