After just getting yelled at by my pdoc he put me on this for my severe anxiety. Has anyone been on it? What was it like? He claims its weight netrual and thats the only reason I agreed to go on it and its the only med he'll give me since he knows I don't want to gain weight but he also says I'm seeking weight loss meds. Which I don't 100% agree with.

Anyways. What were your side effects like on it? The only concern he has is it might make me a bit manic and angry but he says its only like a 5% chance. I'm already pissed though so I have that going already but I think thats an issue for one of my medical doctors.

It was just annoying because I got yelled at for no reason. He said every time I met with him I would ask for concerta. When I literally just brought up concerta to my mom yesterday. I've never once mentioned it to him let alone every time I met with him. And I was asking for it to help me cocentrate. Not for weight loss. My mom says hes just confused. Whatever. Water off a ducks back. I hope this prestiq stuff helps at least with my crippling day time anxiety and agoraphobia so I can get my life back.

At first I felt buzzed and fuzzy headed. Now I feel really nauseated and I can't eat. My mom says the side effects will go away in about a week according to my doctor. Mental health wise I just have the anxiety from the physical stuff.
