"i had a good experience on this medicine.  after years of nothing working, i lost 35 pounds over 8 months.  started at 206lbs, ended at 170lbs.  i&#039;ve always been active, exercising 6 days a week and i ate well. the medicine turned off any cravings i had and i felt full after only a few bites of the healthy food i was eating. there were two big down sides.  first, the cost!  it went from $150 to $190 in the 7 months i took it. to add to it, my state requires monthly check ins at the dr. which add $60 a month for a total of $250/month.  if i was continuing to drop a lot of weight, it might have been worth it but i plateaued and for the last 3 months did not lose any weight.  been off for 3 months and i have maintained. i would consider taking it again."
