    I’ve been use livial for over a year now and I haven’t gain any weight at all. I’m from the USA and i’ve been living in Australia for the past 18 months, that’s where I was prescribed Livial aka the   miracle drug. I’ll be going back to the States in a few months and i found out that I can’t get  Livial there because it didn’t pass the FDA approval 2006. Can anyone tell me if I can get it there now?

      Well I guess, I’ve only done 3 months and have put it on round belly n bum. I do feel happier but still get one sweaty sesh at 4 am, my Fitbit logs it too. I have tried a few types and also wonder if it contributes to joint pain in some people, especially feet and hands?

      Enjoy the overall benefits that far outweigh a bit of weight gain initially. I have been on it for 15 years and I have had the odd weight variance about 1-2 kg either way but I have never exceeded the 70 kg mark! Nothing a sensible eating plan cannot resolve. I am now steady 65- 67kg.

      dont sweat on this!

      Thank you for that, it’s difficult to know on a new drug. What have you found the benefits to be for you? I am defiantly more clearheaded, not sure my husband likes my more forceful character tho!! B
