For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "The first few days, I had crushing migraines and dizziness. I began getting headaches around week 6 again, but didn't associate it with the meds because 5 weeks passed with no side effects. Then my left eye began to droop and blur my vision. I thought it was due to Botox. The eye drooped to almost closed, then my cheek fell, and a few days later, I had trouble speaking. Rushed to the ER and got an MRI, CT, etc., to rule out a stroke. ZERO findings. They said Botox was the cause. My symptoms have come and gone, which would not be a Botox reaction. Today, my vision is blurred to the point that I can't drive, and my eye is barely open. I just figured out that the eye opens when I miss a dose! NOT WORTH IT. My hospital bill is going to be HUGE."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I gave the medication some points because once I started taking it I immediately experienced a decrease in appetite. I took 10 mg in the morning and 10 mg at night. The first side effect was dry mouth and the second was a crushing headache. I read this site and decided to work through it. On day 3 I developed a huge rash on my inner thigh and then on my shoulders. I had strange nightmares and felt out of sorts. I then had irritability and snapped at my husband and young son on several occasions after day 5. On day six I stood up and felt dizzy and weird. I developed anxiety and felt upset. By day 8 my husband and I talked and looked up the contents of the medicine. Serotonin stood out to me. I stopped taking it. Run."
