"i started on this medication in october 2015 and i was at 320lbs - heaviest i&#039;ve ever been. i am now 48lbs down, and i weigh in at the doctor&#039;s in 2 days hoping to achieve the 50lb mark.  not only has this medication helped with the appetite control, it got me off soda!  i never thought that was possible.  it literally made the soda taste bad.  i couldn&#039;t believe it.  i have been addicted to full-on, regular soda for years. now, i can&#039;t stand it and don&#039;t want it.  i have the tingling sensations but don&#039;t really have any other side effects.  i see the doctor once monthly and monitor my blood pressure weekly.  i am very, very happy with the results and plan on continuing until my doctor and i determine it is time to stop."
