Advice & Tips
My doctor did not appreciate my weight gain was a cause of this medication even though it was 10 lbs per month each month I was on it. This was ridiculous considering weight gain was listed as a side effect of the meds. I asked to be taken of the medication two months after starting but I was refused until the 6th month. Thanks for the 60 pounds doc!
