"i&#039;ve taken adipex about 3-4 different years in my life for short periods of time. dr.s recommend only use for 3 months. the first time i took it in 2007 i was 180 lbs and i got down to 140 lbs the weight fell off i went on subway diet! my point is not really the weight loss. i noticed pain in my right side under my ribs. i just brushed it off. i had a baby in dec 2008 and tried it again, lost some weight had pain again still dismissed it as nothing. a month ago april 2013 my dr put me on it because i had been taking a medication that made me gain weight. i lost 21 pounds in 3 weeks, which was great but now for the problem. fat goes through your gallbladder. i lost weight too fast and lost my gallbladder. be careful if feel pain get help."
