"so far i lost 37 lbs in 3 months (started at 261lbs). i look and feel like a brand new lady! my doc would not prescribe me it so i went to a weight loss clinic. i followed a healthy diet of high protein, decreased my carbs, low sodium, and no sugar. but i am no longer going to the clinic (super expensive!!) so no more pills! weaning was a piece of cake for me, i was terrified after reading the horror stories but all i did was take half a pill for about 5 days and then half every other day for a few more days. my weight loss has slowed though, the carbs have been calling me back. side effects: trouble sleeping for sure, forgetfulness, trouble getting words out, itchy skin and my eczema has flared up but no dry mouth? i drink lots of water!"
