"at a starting weight w a new doctor 440 lbs. i tried adipex. i only took it a week before i stopped due to headaches, heart racing just getting up to go to bathroom. but with sheer willpower alone in one year i lost 120 lbs . after losing average 10 lbs a month my weight leveled out and i couldn&#039;t get but 5 lbs a month. so we decided to try adipex again.  i started aug 15 at 316 now sept.13- 295lb.  this time no side effects i&#039;m exercising more and feeling great. hoping for the best"
