This medication was the single most greatest thing to have ever happened to me when I was 16. I never once thoguht I was ever constipated, and thought the bms were normal and regular... I never thoht I had a reason to think otherwise. I never had a problem with this drug. It helped me lose weight, it gave me amazing relief.
