DRveejay11 said:Side Effects and Maintenance
Side effects of this drug are known to include diarrhea, nausea and anxiety, this provoked a 15% drop out rate among participants in the trial. For most patients Rimonabant only remained effective for weight loss for up to about 34 weeks, though continuous use of the drug has been shown to maintain the weight loss.After ending their use of Rimonabant, most patients regained most of the weight they had lost.
Pub-Med was not very helpful as this drug is relatively new Still searching....
the original study I read stated that the users maintained weight loss for up to 2 years after they stopped the use of the drug - so this is totally opposite information - but I have looked all over for more info on it and I didnt find much at all - as you said to new yet
