Started 3 months ago. All fine, in fact I thought it was a wonder drug but now I almost never feel hungry. Not to worried about that as I’m a little over weight so unlikely to harm me.... BUT ....
My mouth feels awful. Literally like something has died at the back of my throat. Mortifying as I’m a Dental Hygienist so people expect me to have fresh breath. My husband has noticed ( but is kind about it). A friend commented that I must have been eating garlic ( I hadn’t ) so I think it just popped out his mouth that he could smell my breath. I have started using a tongue scraper but it hadn’t helped.
In addition to this, I can’t focus on conversations, it’s been weeks since I have watched TV as I can’t see to find the right the thing ( May be TV channel over load mind you) and I can’t multi task.
I don’t want to come off the drug as it has helped in other ways including be less reliant on alcohol but these side effect are awful.
Anyone had the same experience and what did you do?

Sorry for the typing errors. I’m feeling a bit jittery today. Confused
