terrible side effects, weight gain, puffy face and eyes, horrible hot flashes constantly. Weight wouldn't come off no matter how intensely I worked out while on the medication. used for 9 months, takes 5 months to leave your system. depression from not being able to lose weight. user beware! Not worth it for me.

Have had cluster headaches for over 20 years. I was hoping this would help. It did nothing but empty my bank account.
