"The first week was awful, I have acid reflux and it combined and made it terrible since I was also doing a diet change. Once that was over, however, I didn't have any more symptoms. The first week I was very nauseous, a little light-headed, and a bit more tired than usual. My insurance covered it twice, but after that has refused. I did lose 15+ pounds, so if you really wanna lose weight, this pill would help quite a bit, lol. Overall, I feel comfortable with it; I really wish my insurance would let me keep taking it."
