"i started taking adipex on november 17, 2009. it is now january 25, 2010. i have to admit when i first started taking adipex i felt like i was on straight speed. i couldn&#039;t sleep, eat, or concentrate. i still have bad mood swings and get upset very easily. i have no problem sleeping that wore off the 3rd week, i tend to get hungry later in the afternoon. i was taking a half of pill the first month. i take one pill a day now and do great except for my mood swings. my starting weight was 165lbs. i now weigh 138lbs. that&#039;s a weight loss of 27lbs. i still have 8lbs to go. i exercise 5 days a week on the treadmill for 30 minutes each time. if you are really wanting to lose weight and can overlook the side effects this is the pill! good luck!!"
