It too was put off by all the negative accounts on Reddit and elsewhere about horrendous side affects--which caused e to delay starting the medication--but I haven't experienced any. I have lost 25 pounds and only now am moving up to the full dose of 2.4. I eat a healthy high protein/low carb diet (with lots of veggies) of 1200 calories daily as part of a WL program where I meet monthly with a medical professional and dietician.
My experience has been nearly the same. I've been on for 5 months and have lost 20 pounds. I have had some mild side effects of periodic nausea, but mostly that has faded. 95% of my sweet and salty cravings are gone. I feel full after eating small meals. I'm eating more veggies and fruits and I exercise more. I, too, meet monthly with a nurse and a dietician. I'd be thrilled if I could lose 20 more and then keep it off.
