"i have been taking generic adipex since dec. 2015. i am 5 food tall and was 211 pounds. the first 11 pounds came off quick. then i got down to 195. now i am back up to 200 and can&#039;t drop the weight. my energy level is a lot better though. i don&#039;t really eat that much. so maybe my body is holding on to what i do eat. who knows."
