| The concern with Acomplia and the reason it isn't approved in the U.S. is that it appears to cause severe depression in significant numbers of people who take it.
Since it works by blocking pleasure centers, this makes sense.
It sounds like it is working for you, which is good, but make sure that the people who live with you are alert to the fact that your mood could deteriorate so that if you start showing signs of significant depression they intervene and get you off the drug.
There was just an article (I think in the NYTimes) recently about a bunch of drugs, including Singulair which turn perfectly normal people without mental health issues into suicides. It is a real problem as the overwhelming depression caused by a drug can happen very quickly with little warning.
