"i am 5&#039;8 and was weighing in at 198. i asked my doctor for help and he prescriped adipex and i can say it is the most amazing weight loss pill/tool available. i was ordered to take one pill a day but i started with (and still take) half a pill and for 3 days i didn&#039;t stop moving. the energy was amazing, i have absolutely no appetite, i only ate because i knew i had to. i only slept for about 2 hours at night during those first 3 days but after about a week of taking the pill, my sleeping became regular again. i have been on adipex for a little over a month and have lost 18 lbs. i am still only taking half a pill and only taking it 3 days a week and my appetite has come back slowly but nothing like it was before. and no side effects!"
