For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I have been on and off using these pens the past 6 weeks. In a week, I lost 10 lbs to start with on 0.6. I had no side effects and felt great and shocked with how much fell off in the first week. By week 2, I'd lost a stone. Came off it for the weekend as drinking and at a festival. On Monday, back on it, upped the dose, first few hours headache, felt awful and that night threw up. Following weekend, came off it as was going on holiday and was off it for 2 weeks, gained 4 lbs. Again, back on it at 0.8, a few hours in and headache, and then was sick that night again. Came off it on the weekend as a birthday was happening and drinking. Started my 3rd pen 3 days in and this time had diarrhea for over 24 hours with a little sickness. The plan is now to not come off it and do these last 3 pens, had 5 in total hoping to get at least a stone off. I always feel within a few hours it’s working. I get a dry mouth and don’t feel hungry and don’t eat a lot."
