After unable to lose weight despite of diet and exercise alone and having blood pressusre and cholesterol levels high; my doctor wanted to try Adipex for 30 days. The first day I took it I was ready to run a 26K! and it kept me up ALL night. I was fully awake, not tired, not feeling high, just up. Today is my first week since taking pill and lost 7 pounds. It shows on my scale, and also feel it around my pants! One thing is for sure, you MUST exercise. I can't imagine people taking this med and not exercising at least 30 mins. a day, even if it is a walk. I was unable to exercise one day due to a child's emergency surgery and I felt the rush of the pill ALL day. Seems exercise removes the feeling of immense energy and contratry to some reviews, my blood pressure has remained within normal range. I believe exercise makes a difference on how it affects your body. Also, it must be taken early in AM at least by 9am. And you must force yourself to eat. You will have zero desire to eat, not matter how good it looks! even if you take a small bite, you will have enough. But you must eat or you will feel sick...your stomach is empty but functioning as if you have indeed had a meal. It is training me to eat smaller portions of the things I like. I was skeptical about using, but glad I have. I didn't realize what a difference those lost 7 pounds made on my body. I will complete the next 3 weeks and begin taking my body off of it. It is a great jumpstart to a healthier you. Starting weight: 180lbs. 1 week after: 172

I am a 31 year old mother of three. My youngest is 5 and I have struggled with being chubby, lol not fat just a little extra thick in some places all my life. I have really been struggling to get back to my pre- motherhood weight of about 175.I have really been down in the dumps with my weight for the last 5 years. 200+ I don't exercise much because I want fast results and I get easily discouraged. Last year I lost 13 lbs in 1 month while taking Adipex.But I blew it after just 3 weeks. I shared my Rx with all my friends who, couldn't find doctors to prescribe them any.... I know this is bad but hey, they wanted to try. Morale being I ran out fast and eventually regained the weight. I have never been a small girl always average 12 or 14. 16 when I'm really fat. This past January 2012 I started Adipex again, I used it off and on when I remembered to take it and went from 218 to about 204. After 2 months the Pharmacy seemed to have thought I had used my three months, which is all you can have then you have to be off for three months. But I still managed to maintain a weight from 203 to 198. So July 8, 2012 I filled my first Rx. I used them for 6 and dropped down to 187. Last week my friend asked me to try some samples of Hydroxy Cut and another I cant remember, so I didnt take my Adipex for about 5 or 6 days:-( My weight as of this past monday was 195. Yea WOW!! So I have been taking Adipex again since monday I am down to 190:-) today is day 4!!! I am not going to stop until my full thirty day supply is finshed I have 21 left my goal is to be at 179 by the time they are gone. I will still have two more Rx's.My goal by them end of the 3 month supply is 160. wish me luck I will update.

I began taking this medication on March 22, 2012. I have been weening myself off of it for the last 3.5 weeks and am now taking only 1/2 pill once a week. My goal was 30lbs - I lost 40! I started at 169/Size 12, and I am now at 129/size 4. This medication works, but remember it is up to you to continue an exercise program and healthy diet...otherwise, you will gain it back.

I started at 169/Size 12, and I am now at 129/size 4. This medication works, but remember it is up to you to continue an exercise program and healthy diet...otherwise, you will gain it back. Just please eat!!! It will be tempting to not eat the first couple of weeks, but you must eat at least 1200 calories a day or you will feel sick and weak. Along with 5 days a week of 45 minutes of exercise, and you should have no problems losing weight and feeling awesome! Good luck!
