"i have been using this medication for 1 month and have lost 15 lbs.  i have been very fortunate and the only side effect i have experienced is a bit of a dry mouth.  that has not been bothersome it has only encouraged me to drink more water.  i have continued exercising 4-5 days/week. what has been a real blessing is i have not been obsessed with food and i cannot recall a time when food was a main focus of my thoughts."
