I've been on it for 2 months now and I'm like so laaaaaaaaazzzzzzyyyyyyy for me that is very odd! I have schoolwork to catch up on or my college career may be over. I am finding that I just don't want to get up get dressed go out and do what I need to do, my appetite was zip and now it's coming back did you have any of those side effects???
COuld you please share?
