"i&#039;ve been on this for 4 weeks and have dropped 14 pounds. i am so happy. the worst side effect for me has been the dry mouth. i&#039;ve been chewing a lot of sugar-free gum.  it&#039;s worth it to me, though.  it has suppressed my appetite.  the world doesn&#039;t revolve around me stuffing my face now. i have more energy to take the dogs out for walks. just can&#039;t see me dragging all this weight around for the rest of my natural days."
