The effects of the drug have helped me lose weight in two ways - one intentionally and one as a side effect.
The medication does make me feel fuller faster, so I eat less when I do eat, and I stay fuller longer. This helps me lose weight because it reduces the number of calories I consume.
The side effects make me feel so sick in those days after that I am effectively fasting all day (I have a small dinner, but keep drinking water so I don't dehydrate). That helps in losing weight.
That said, my original comment was meant slightly tongue in cheek - I know it is effective, but sometimes it's kind of darkly funny to think feeling bad from it is having the highest impact.
