Yes, I lost quite a bit of weight during the first six months I was taking it... about 40 pounds. It helped my depression and anxiety pretty quickly, too... probably inside of a week, I'd say.
I am pretty shocked at the price your pharmacist quoted your for the brand name, but I have had a very good experience with the generic. About fifteen years ago when I lived in the lower 48 and had a really good doctor in a city (as opposed to in Interior Alaska), she told me that taking the name brand of most medications is not important at all, and that the generic and brand names are virtually identical. One exception to that is Synthroid. She said to always take Synthroid, and not levothyroxine. (Synthroid is a thyroid medication, for those who do not know)
