"i have taken adipex before and lost 70 lbs in 3 months. i ran two miles everyday and ate lean cuisines. i was on a 1200 calorie diet. it took me two years to gain the weight back, being in college life gets busy and it just happened. now i&#039;m back on it and have lost 20 lbs in 3 weeks. i recommend it to anyone who is serious about losing weight. you have to work hard to see amazing results, but it&#039;s completely worth it. from the comments i&#039;ve seen some people were only prescribed it for 2 or 3 months, it may be a location issue but my doctor in ms will prescribe adipex for a patient for 6 months out of the year."
