I am a research scientist, I have very pretty good understanding of the mechanism and the side effects. I have read as much as I can. I know it is horrible, but I would do anything to lose just 10 pounds. I was planning to first just do a skin test to see if I had any rash or reaction to it. Anything pops up, and I won't take it. I was just going to take 20 mg the first dose, drink a gallon of water, and take a multivitamin, and just rest. I will take it every 36 hours. If 20 mg is tolerated, I will up to 25 mg, and up by 5 mg daily, until I get to 50 mg at 7 days. What do you think?
