"i started taking the pills on labor day weighing 234 lbs, and weighed myself on 9/13/15 weighing 228.8lbs. i&#039;m very excited about this even though it is a small loss. as far as side effects go, i&#039;ve experienced slight headaches in the temple areas but they don&#039;t linger, this morning (9/14/15) i had extremely dry mouth but it was cured with water, i always have a burst of energy when i take it yet i&#039;m still able to take a nap before work while on the medication. i also take a multivitamin at bedtime, and a b-12 vitamin in the morning with my pill."
