"i just hit my 6 month mark so i wanted to update my review.  while i experienced several side effects at first, some severe, they all went away eventually.  i am losing 2lbs a week up to 10lbs a month.  i&#039;m noticing there&#039;s a pattern for me of losing ~10lbs very quickly, then stagnation for a few days, then loss starts again.  i&#039;m improving my diet, but it is by no means perfect, and i&#039;m able to have more energy to get off my butt and exercise or do tasks i would otherwise procrastinate to high heaven.  as someone who has failed (a lot) in the past, this is a miracle drug for me because for the first time ever, i am able to know my hunger and eat without counting calories, carbs, fat, whatever and confidently lose weight.  yay!"
