Well, don't be surprised if there are quite a few more than that. :-)

Well, it does work, although I didn't notice any change in appetite until I got up to 75-100mg, and nothing *really* significant until about 150mg. Don't rush it though; go up slowly.>Is it suppposed to cut your appetitie for all

Yes, although there are some things it affects more than others. Lots of people, myself included, experience a total loss of taste for soda. Everything carbonated tastes grossly flat, so while I still want a coke, as soon as I try to drink it, I change my mind. :-)Hope this helps.
