I'm one of those people, but I have an absolutely bizarre response to the drug. I've tried to start it five times, and failed four.

I'll have one of two responses:

1. The drug works, and it completely eliminates food noise and the desire to eat unhealthy foods, but I'll get severe side effects (massive diarrhea, vomiting, burps that reek of rotten egg). I lose weight, but a lot of it because I can't keep anything down.

2. The drug doesn't work almost at all. I get minimal effects, and minimal side effects. This is where I am now, I've been consistently going up in dose (incrementally, so I don't trigger the side effects). I'm at 10mg now, and there's minimal effect.

Just mystifying.
