It's actually a pretty high percentage that gain weight when these meds lower their feeling of having eaten enough. If you want real info on adverse effects, go to a private pharmacy (not big chain store). Pharmacists almost always have better understanding of meds impact than drs do, and they take patients' experiences seriously. --- Generics often worse than brands in weight-gain respect. Tracking everything you eat will be really helpful. Hope the meds' positive effects kick in soon!
