Does Taking Epilim Cause Weight Gain And Excessive Hunger?
If the weight gain associated to Epilum due to excessive eating or due to the drug itself? Is there any way to mitigate the weight risks involved with taking the drug? I have read some say its due to excessive water retention, is there any tablet I can take to help with that? Others say they were constantly hungry, I am only on day two but am yet to feel excessive hunger.
