I had bad reactions to it. I gained a lot of weight very quickly (like 65lbs in a few months - all fat, which I don't normally gain), my blood sugar levels were messed up, it raised my blood pressure, and caused lactation. On top of that, it really didn't work for me, even when they bumped me up to 4mg.
My daughter also had a bad reaction to it. It caused high blood sugar, massive weight gain, high blood pressure, and INCREASED hallucinations.
Interestingly, my mother responded well to it.
