I tried it for about 4 months last year (supposed to be in conjuntion with some behavioral modification/therapy for weight loss, but I got shafted by a shitty agency as all they wanted to do was hand out the pills)

quit both the pills and the group when I still hadn't seen a therapist in that whole time.
