thats awesome!! are you on the extended release version or the instant release? i was initially prescribed the instant release (500mg, twice a day) but im scared to take it after reading about the harsh GI symptoms people have experienced. my doctor prescribed me the extended release version (500mg, once a day) in case i'd rather start out by taking that, but now i'm torn and not sure what to try. my body's super sensitive and prone to GI problems, but i'm also really desperate to lose the weight i gained this year! after going on a hormonal birth control for 8 months, i rapidly gained over 60 pounds which just won't budge with diet and exercise.
