Most/many of us didn't develop or add up the side effects until a year and half into taking it. I was on it for a year and 5 months before I developed chest pain and discovered I had elevated potassium levels, dehydration from the diuretic, a B12 and folic acid deficiency, chest pain under the left breast and in the left arm/shoulder that has lasted for 7 months, severe muscle fatigue. I thought it was great before that as my skin looked radiant and I lost 15 lbs while on it.
It takes time for anything to start to show up in the body. Cummulative effects. I wish you well and hope that if you do start to notice any unusual side effects, that you discontinue immediately.
