I was more then once intentionally being not taken to the store so that i was starving. The more weight i lost the more weak i became the more i has horrid amounts of seizures and the stronger they became. That person tried it with me more then once because they knew if they could make me weak and that
Was their best try. So yes minus my details it can have quite the affect on your health.

I'm sorry Ellen ,I don't remember as I've been on so many meds over the years Having gone through the NHS for 20+ years I undecided to go for a private consultation The person who prescribed it was the same NHS consultant doing his bit of private work ,you couldn't make it up .I had absolutely no appetite .I think I tolerate my 5 meds fairly well ,but I have the usual short term memory loss & horrendous joint problems , Unfortunately ,the meds don't help Take care x
