"i started on adipex-p 37.5mg on september 27, 2010 and had my follow up appointment today october 25, 2010  i lost 15 pounds in 1 month.  my doctor said that was great.  the only side effect i have is dry mouth.  for me it totally cuts out my appetite, i don&#039;t crave any sweets ( my weakness )  i cut out sugar and salt all together, and i used slim fast for the times i didn&#039;t have time to make something.  i ate more fruits and veggies.  i also completely stayed away from soda.  i don&#039;t have any problems sleeping.  when you are on adipex you have to be seen by your doctor each month, the maximum time allowed on adipex is 3 months.  because of the risk of becoming addicted and other health risk that could develop.  after a few months you can get back on them, if so desired.   because your only can be on apidex 3 months at a time, the challenge will be keeping the weight off after.  i know for me it&#039;s like it puts a block on all my bad snacking and cuts out all my cravings.  i don&#039;t have any hunger pains what so ever, at times i have to force myself to eat something, even just drink a slim fast."
