Stephanie,
please be aware that this drug is highly addictive and habit forming. It
also has several side effects that you may not be to thrilled about. It
may actually be healthier to be a few pounds overweight than to take
this drug! Like all drugs, it has its drawbacks. I would recommend you
research this more thoroughly before you decide to start taking this.
Good luck
Mel
