Despite the scary warnings and the hoops you have to jump through to get it, so far this has been promising. I'm supposed to take one 30 mins before meals and then again at bedtime, but knowing how sensitive I am to pills, I've only taken one so far today. I'll take another at bedtime.
Even with one (10mg), I did notice that my heart was beating faster and that caused me some concern. I think it was because I only had a piece of toast and some coffee, but I'm not used to eating normally. I'm not even used to eating a lot of solid food. It may take some adjusting, but I don't think I'm going on a regular diet. I sort of like the small meals more frequently thing. The problem is the frequently part. Today I just kept forgetting to either take the pills with me or plan ahead for taking them. There was a lot of gurgling and hunger pains, so at least the pills seem to be working. By dinner I was famished and didn't want to wait 30 mins to eat.
So, yeah, so far so good. Don't think I can manage 4 pills in a day, so tomorrow we'll shoot for 3. Two during the day and one before bed. EKG on Tuesday to make sure the 'ol ticker is doing ok.
There are a few other side effects, but they seem to be beneficial. Cleared up the constipation, but maybe a little too much. We'll see how well tomorrow goes.
