> And what side-effect(s) finally did you in?Genital problems...testicle pain, urination pain, fairly severe urinary retention/hesitancy.
Appetite decrease...at 6' weighing a scant 128 pounds, I could not afford to lose weight at a rate of one pound per week.
Clearly if I could figure out an antidote to those concerns, it would be a green light for another go of it. The only appetite things I could think of were Remeron (depressing to me) or Zyprexa. Kind of harsh to take an antipsychotic just to eat. Flomax would probably cure the urinary stuff, but the testicle pain is the wild card.
