i have taken it in the past and i would not recommend it.
it is very similar to being on speed. yes you will lose weight, but as soon as you stop you will put it all back on and then some.
it's legal if prescribed - but most GP's will avoid prescribing it and some will flat out refuse.
it's not a nice drug - it is essentially speed - it alters your metabolism, moods, hunger etc.
my dad was on it long term for his inability to lose weight due to physical disability. it wasn't nice - at all! this was long before it became a hard to get drug (with good reason IMO)
it doesn't really help you lose weight - it seems to, but it's due to the immediate impact of the drug - as soon as you stop taking it, the weight goes back on because it's a pseudo-change to your metabolism kwim? your body almost goes into withdrawal from the drug and goes in the opposite direction (slow metabolism) which makes you put on more weight when you're eating less.
i would personally warn anyone against it. i've seen the effects of both short term and long term use and i wouldn't suggest anyone go there. i've also seen the results of abuse of the drug (extracting just the speed portion) for people having to stay awake long hours for work etc - it's not pretty at all
