"i started taking these pills last thursday. six days later and i have already lost 9 lbs..... my appetite is pretty much non existent i have been eating 1 meal per day and and i usually have a protein shake as a meal replacement. the first 2-3 days i didn&rsquo;t sleep at all now the only symptom i have is dry mouth. i plan on taking this medicine for as long as my doctor will allow me to. sw 238, cw 229 ,gw 170"
