I took Tenuate since the age of 21. My Dr. prescribed 100 mg. a day and since the onset I had never felt nervous and my blood pressure was always normal, if not below. There were no side effects for me, ever. In fact, what it did for me was help me to lose weight and by staying on it, I was able to maintain the weight I wanted to be. The additional benefit was I was able to stay focused with m...
Have been on Tenuate for 6 weeks and lost one pound. No side effects and it DOES curb appetite, but still no weight loss for me. I was encouraged by glowing reviews of success, but it just didn't do anything for me.

This has been a great assistance in gaining my dietary control. I work out regularly and can stick to a physician's monitored 1100 calorie diet with no problem. It has given me some lack of sleep, but that has been my only side effect. I struggled to lose weight with just exercise (up to 4x week) and watching what I ate, but with this I don't have temptation of "off diet" foods. So far I am very happy with taking 3x day.

This medicine is a miracle. It helped me loose 15 pounds with exercise and proper diet. It was much easier to control my eating with this medicine. I highly recommend this to anyone who struggles with weight loss and overeating due to stress.

I took this product for 6 months last year, was not hungry and lost 50 lbs. The most I ever lost and the easiest I ever lost. I stopped for 4 months and didn't gain any weight back. This was a first! I would recommend it to people who can't lose it on their own. Absolutely no health problems with it, a little dry mouth in the beginning, but otherwise felt great.
