Here's the initial FDA report (btw, I've heard of this drug before):
www.webmd.com...

The pharma company that makes this is concerned that not enough long range studies were done.

Mayo Clinic has a review of the pill and the side effects. Note that you still have to diet and exercise ... it just speeds up the weight loss. Side effects basically include :
Gas with an oily anal discharge
Loose stools or diarrhea
More frequent bowel movements
Hard-to-control bowel movements

This is from the uncontrolled fat and is treatable by eating a low fat diet while on this.

I think Anna Nicole had to make a cover story for her 'rapid' weight loss due to the cocktail of drugs she was taking.
I know because I did this myself at one point many years ago. People would ask me "how are you loosing sooo much weight?" I had a pretty good reputation at the time so I could not say "Oh I met a new boyfriend and he feeds me speed". So instead I made up this big fat lie about low fat diet and exercise...
Well getting down to about a size -0 it eventually caught up with me and at least my bosses knew it was due to drugs and fired me with love.
I got pregnant with my now 12 year old son and thank god due to an overly loving Mom, and a very cool Doctor, I cleaned up my act once and for all and have remained clean by absolute desire and strong will, but the side effects were weight gain.
I dabble with weight loss all the time and have tried everything from Atkins to juice fasting.
I found that after all the drugs and starvation my system is stuck on "Store" mode.
So the moral to this story is that doing anything which changes the natural mechanics of your body comes with risk.
I have found the best way to loose weight and keep it off is to love yourself and work on the issues that made you over weight in the first place.
When you are accepting of your individual body weight and look, then finding out what your allergies are such as wheat or gluten is the first important life step.
Once this is accomplished I highly recommend looking into a diet which meets with your personal food choices and building around that.
The final step would be to investigate which foods are high in alkalinity.
You want to keep your body at its optimum by eating 90% low to no alkaline foods and beverages. You can even ward off and heal certain illness's by staying with High PH foods and beverages.

Alkaline =Bad***PH=Good

I am still struggling with my weight, but at least I know how to maintain what weight I am now. A few here have seen pictures of me, I'm no skinny Minnie, but I am healthy and feel good about myself no matter what the scales read!
