"i took tenuate 25mg 5 years ago for 6 months and lost 55 pounds. after hurting my foot and not being able to exercise i gained back most of the weight over a five year period. my doctor gave it to me again in may of 2013 and i have lost 45 pounds. i weaned myself off of it and am maintaining my weight now with diet and exercise. i love my doctor for suggesting this for &quot;women my age&quot; (40s)!!  it works great!!"
