I wasn't using the pills for weight loss, I started using it for two reasons, it helped with my anxiety problems, and also helped with my sugar cravings. And the only pill I was taking at the same time as it was my birth control pills, I found a few years ago I just can't take most antidepressants. I've only tried like 4-5 though, first they make me nauseaous, and then they make me super tired, to the point where I was sleeping 12-16 hours a day, and the hours I was awake I was pretty much useless. I had to quit my job, and move back home, it was horrible. And the anxiety pills my doctor gave me made me feel like I was in a daze all the time, I can't think, and my whole decision making skills? Pretty much gone. I've had issues with pills as you can tell, so I pretty much avoid anything.
I could open a pharmacy with all the bottles of prescriptions I have though!
