"i was just placed on tenuate 2 days ago by my physician. i have tried many weight loss options but have had no success. i just have no will power. i am an rn, and reading about this medication i must say that i am going into it a little frightened. but, if you all can do it...so can i! i was so motivated by your many success stories, i hope that i can be one to post one also. my first day mirrored some in that the dry mouth and jitters are what bothered me. i don&#039;t think i will be able to take the medication at work. that will be okay, i don&#039;t have much time to think about food anyway. lol! best of luck to you all!!!"
