"i started taking this pill on 7/30/10. i&#039;m a 5&#039;4, 25 yr old female, my start weight was 144lbs. i&#039;ve been going to the gym, a minimum of 3 days a week (prior to the pills) 2-3 hr cardio classes. i was stuck on the same weight for a while, my eating habits aren&#039;t the greatest but not the unhealthiest either. i told my doctor that i had difficulties shaving off some pounds so she prescribed me the medication. during the first week or so i dropped 8lbs. i&#039;m at 136 lbs right now. my appetite has reduced immensely. i hardly desire to eat. i only eat small portions once or twice a day. the side effects that i have recently encountered for the past 3 days is a lot of dizziness (mostly when i stand up), light headed, some dry mouth (not too bad)."
