"i started adipex 37.5 mg on 06/14/2010 after reading all the reviews on this site. i also have changed my diet considerably and i exercise (walking, zumba and light weights). i wasn&#039;t going to weigh myself but i ended up going to a doctor&#039;s appointment on 6/18/10 for a check up and i made a mistake and peeked at the scale and i had lost 9 lbs in one week. i do experience dry mouth and occasional headaches, but nothing serious. i started taking this medicine because i needed a boost on top of the dieting and exercising. i do not take the medicine on the weekends and i always cut my pill in 1/2 and take 1/2 when i wake up at 6am and the other 1/2 at 2pm after i have eaten lunch, at work. starting weight 251lbs, current 243lbs(as of 6/18). i will update my progress!"
