"i have been on tenuate for a year and at first i was losing weight fast (30lbs) and looked great but by 6 months i had stopped losing so my dr took me off it for 3 months. i got back on after i gained back 20 of the 30lbs lost. this was during summer and i have two kids i&#039;m constantly chasing. i&#039;ve been back on tenuate for 3 months and i have gained another 6lbs while on tenuate!!! i have a healthy diet and exercise regularly. so, if you want to lose weight for a specific occasion this med is great for you but if you want something to help you keep it off....this might not be it."
