>I tried it for a week and I gained 8 pounds. A lot of water weight I am sure, but still, I told my pdoc that I refuse to take it. I even kept a log of everything I ate so that he could see that it wasn't my diet. I was on it for a month in March and I gained 25 pounds. Not all water weight for sure. I am still trying to lose the weight.
