I've been off for about 3 weeks now and the weight is coming off. Not overnight or anything, but it's happening. And funnily enough, I've been sort of 'naughty' the last few weeks- not working out much, eating a bit worse than usual, etc. and am stil - 72% more...

I've only been on spiro 50mg for a few weeks, but noticed weight gain right away. I assumed since I had heard that spiro takes months to really work that i could not blame it for the weight gain (though nothing else had changed). My question for ever - 21% more...
