"i started using phentermine on 9/29/2010. i had my first check-up on the 29th of october, and was surprised to see that i had lost an amazing 28 pounds in just 4 short weeks.  the only side effect that i have had is the dry mouth, which i almost consider a good thing because it allows me to drink the water i have always needed to drink.  i have been so tempted to go and buy a scale for the house just to keep up on my weight loss more, but i really like the surprise when i step on that scale at the doctors. this pill is an answer to my prayers and i would recommend it to anyone who is serious about wanting to lose the weight."
