The NY Times Daily podcast had a pretty good episode a few weeks ago about the experience of two women who took the drug. One had a good experience and the other did not - it was interesting that she ended up malnourished while still obese. As far as regaining weight, I would think that absent required lifestyle changes, you would expect that people would regain weight once the drug is discontinued.

It doesn't seem like the drug makes behavioral changes and easier when it isn't used anymore.
