"i started on may 19 with the free trial and was taking 2 pills a day, (morning &amp; night). my insurance won&#039;t pay for it, so it&#039;s $75 a month per refill. first day i had a little trouble focusing on things in the distance &amp; was pretty sleepy the first week. after the 2 week trial, i decided i was going to do just one pill a day, in the morning. as far as losing the weight, i started on tuesday and we left for the beach on friday for the weekend. i actually gained about 5 lbs but once we got home and i got serious about my eating habits, i lost the 5lbs &amp; have lost another 3lbs. i don&#039;t crave sugar as bad as i used to, but it still tastes pretty good to me when i eat it. if i eat slowly and pay attention to what i&#039;m doing, i fill fuller faster"
