I actually ended up losing a lot of weight when I was taking this drug it works similarly to a certain weight loss drug and supresses appetite in some people. The insomnia can possibly be avoided by reducing caffeine intake, and making sure to take the pill in the morning. I did make the mistake of taking it at night for a while and was climbing off the walls all night. Also, I believe I remember reading that prolonged use of this drug can increase your seizure threshhold if you are at risk already. This effect is greatly reduced when taking the extended release forms (SR, XL). |
