"i started using adipex march 08 weighing in at 332lbs. as of september 08 now 284lbs. lost 48lbs in 6 months. at first had a little trouble going to sleep but that went away after a coule of weeks. i think that the pill is totally worth it. now i have really picked up my exercise routine and i am now very cautious about what i eat. very little starch at all. exercise consists of 3-4 miles on treadmill at 6-7 mph then 30-45 minutes in a sauna every day. i would suggest taking the pill for 2-3 weeks then laying off for a week. this is what has worked for me."
