"i started taking adipex on thursday july 28th 2011 and today is tuesday august 2, 2011 and i have lost 13 pounds. it does dry out my mouth very much but it is worth the weight loss because it makes me drink water so i stay hydrated. but i do also have a lot of energy and it carves my appetite. at first i didn&#039;t want to eat at all but now i do just not as much.
