Hi!
So, my pdoc just prescribed this. I've read so many horror stories about weight gain and metabolism slowing just from googling it today. I really don't think I should take it.
My pdoc has met with me twice for about 10 minutes each time and decided to tell me that he thinks I'm bipolar. For one, I totally disagree, two - why the heck would he tell me that (I was a little offended), and three - I have worked really hard to lose a good deal of weight.
Also, my dad (an olympic swimmer/diver - always an athlete) has had heart problems his whole life. I'm afraid with the heart disease history in my family and my own weight issues, this medication might hurt more than help. Does anyone have any thoughts about this?
