"i just started taking the pill on july 23 and i weigh 178, today is july 26 and i now weigh 174.  if you have dry mouth try chewing sugar free gum as a singer i use that trick all the time to keep my mouth moist and it works. please drink lots of water as well, but it makes the dry mouth not so bad.  i have a thyroid condition so i take that pill early in the morning and i make myself eat a piece of toast or something 30 minutes later and take the pill and i don&#039;t have a problem sleeping at night.  i walk every other day and i have a decrease in my appetite, but i still eat. some people say that don&#039;t eat at all that is not healthy.  oh and i don&#039;t drink or eat anything with caffeine so i won&#039;t have a problem sleeping at night with the meds"
