>Short term side effects are weight gain Fyi most drugs with this side effect are actually "You will have an increased appetite" and because most people are cattle, they just eat more. If you track your food like usual, you'll be fine. Optionally, you can think of this 2 week period as a test for resisting hunger signals. >so lasting effects can't be too bad, right? Worst case scenario, you just stop taking it, yeah? Wouldn't hurt to try it for a little, especially if the doc is recommending it. All it'll take is a calorie deficit anon. I'm sure you can make it, good luck.
