Comment:
The medication works great at first. I lost about 30lbs in 4 months, most of it in the first month. The meds do stop working at a certain point.

I started taking Adipex on Dec. 30 and at my one month check-up had lost 17 pounds. It definitely curbs my appetite, but the energy rush is not as great as it was in the first couple of weeks. I am exercising 5 days a week for 30 min. to 1hr. 30 min.

I started taking this drug Jan 24,2010, weighing 190lbs. The first week I got very constipated, lost 4 lbs. Second week I started Activia in the morning with the pill and have lost 11 lbs total in just two weeks and no more constipation. So I highly recommend Activa for those of you that suffer from the constipation side effect. Overall this pill is working great!

I started taking it in September and took it for 12 weeks. I started at 186 lbs & ended at 163! As of yesterday I weighed 158 and I have been off of the medication for 2 months! I can def notice my appetite is back but I have developed a great workout program and try to fight the urge to eat badly.
