"i have been taking this medication with a doctor&#039;s supervision for a month now and have lost nearly 20 lbs! this is certainly a kick-start and i feel hopeful, having 80  more to take off. i do feel full and energized while taking it. i still have an appetite, but am able to control it much more successfully. i drink a lot of water and chew sugarless gum to help with the dry mouth issue. i have minimized my carbohydrate/red meat intake and eat much more fruit and veggies. no more diet soda/artificial sweetners. i do use small amounts of raw olive oil for vegetables and salads. i have also found that when dining out, i am now only eating half of the portion. i am a bit more irritable but will deal with it, so happy with the result!"
