"i originally started this on january 8, 2016 at a weight of 223 lbs. and ended it sometime around august 2016. i started with 15mg and increased to 30mg then decreased to come off of it. i lost over 60 pounds during that time and then lost a little more after coming off of the medication. i maintained my weight with a 5 lb fluctuation. just recently (feb. 2017) i was put back on the medication to help me drop weight before possible surgery. i was instantly put on 30mg. i started at 160 lbs and as of today i&#039;m at 145 lbs. the goal is to be at 130-135 lbs. 

i haven&#039;t had any bad side affects other than random bursts of energy, dry mouth, the nasty taste in my mouth, and the lack of bowel movements."
