 2  ADD I was told the side effects would only last a week or so, but after 3 weeks, I continued getting the dry mouth, dizziness (which actually felt more like I was just plain loopy and decidedly UNfocused), and the one side effect I liked was the decreased appetite. I've lost a some weight in the short time I've been taking this drug. I was on the lowest dose (25mg) with instructions to increase to 50 after 1 week. I told the pdoc I wouldn't increase until I worked out the side effects. Unfortunately, they only decreased slightly, and never fully went away. What benefit I felt was small, and not worth the problems. I have friends who take the drug and rave about it, but I did not get any benefit, and in recommending it will add this caveat. F 43 3 weeks
