- The article claims that dF does not have the problems with
- side-effects that some of the other drugs have. The article
- does not state what the No. 2 choice is, another drug or
- traditional treatments.
-
- Differing conditions in different studies make it difficult to
- compare results between studies. The impression I get is that
- the most important difference between the serotonin-reuptake
- inhibitors under study is in unwanted side effects.
-
- The Enquirer article is misleading as it mentions
- appetite suppression with no mention of increased DIT,
- glucose clearance, etc.
-
- My "by default" comment refers to traditional weight programs.
