    Hi Lee.

    Yes I had that for the first couple of weeks and feeling a bit sick. Stick with it and try having small nibbles when you can.

    I'm on week four now of 50mgs and finally getting my appetite back. I'm thin as it is so can't afford to lose weight. I have now been eating alot.. making up for lost time.

    Stick with it as it gets better. I'm proof of that as I hate any meds.

    Good luck

    Yes! I have had very little appetite and I have lost 15 lbs in less than a month.

      Hi.. Yes I have been on this type for 2 months now at 50mg per day.. I have tried lots of others but this is the only one that agrees with me.!!

      Happy days,

      Best wishes.
