"i was prescribed adipex on nov 10, 2014. i weighed 155 pounds. to some that might not seem like a lot, but it was to me. i had tried working out and eating right and nothing was helping. today, dec 22 i weighed 135. i have steadily lost weight since starting it. i skip some days and still feel energetic and not as hungry. the first week on adipex, i had the worst dry mouth. i couldn&#039;t drink enough water. i still an pretty thirsty but it&#039;s manageable. drinking water helps the medicine work better. i have also changed my eating habits to use when the pills are up. the first night i didn&#039;t sleep, but now i can go to bed no problem. this medication isn&#039;t a quick fix, it simply is helping you make life style changes to keep weight off."
