I really don’t care for reviews that are always negative. I took sena for a very long time and it was a life changer. The weight I lost was just fabulous. I had more energy to do the things I like to do and I drop clothes sizes 55 pounds. I had no side effects was teased a lot but didn’t care. I hope Dr. Alan Hirsch does whatever it takes to put it back on the market. It is now 2021 wish I could find it on the Internet.

Definitely look up this guy before you make an appointment. He started a pseudoscience dietary supplement company called Sensa that the FTC fined for $26 million because of bad research. He writes hacky-sounding books like “What Flavor is Your Personality”. Is that the kind of guy you want helping you? I went to him for a psychiatric issue and he ordered thousands of dollars in blood work, that he thumbed through nonchalantly in about 5 seconds, right in front of me. Even after the blood work, he prescribed me medication that didn’t work well with my body. What was the point then? He’s out of touch, and in my opinion, probably won’t help you much. This is just my warning to maybe look elsewhere. He made millions of dollars scamming people, he’ll be fine without you.

Research Hirsch before you invest your time and money. He has been in court for the scheme on weight loss products and was mandated to stop his false advertising as well as pay fines.

Spent 45 minutes jumping through hoops for his students who clearly knew nothing about my diagnoses, and then finally talked to Dr. Hirsch for 5 minutes and he asked no follow up questions but offered me a medication and asked me twice if I was pregnant as if he didn't believe me. DO NOT SEE THIS DOCTOR.
