"i had a total thyroidectomy last september. from the surgery until now (5/17/17) i had gained another 30lbs. before my thyroid issues my normal weight was 130-140..i have gained roughly 70-80lbs since feb 2016. seen my endocrinologist last wednesday (5/10/17) they decided to start me on phenermine. i started the pills friday 5/12/17 starting weight 216lbs. had to see my primary care doc today (5/17/17) and i lost 4lbs! i can&#039;t tell you how good it feels to jump on the scale and see that i lost instead of gained. day 1 i experienced mild dizzyness, dry mouth, heart racing. i drank a lot of water and by the end of the day i felt fine. if you can stick through your body adjusting to medicine this pill will work for you!"
