"i am 6&#039;3&quot; and weighed 220 when i started.  i have been taking this medicine for 5 weeks and have lost 21 pounds and have four to go to reach my goal. the only side effect i had was a couple of bouts of dizziness, but they would only last for 30 seconds or so. i have more energy to go to the gym and actually miss going if i can&#039;t make it that day. the cravings were bad for about a week, but then just disappeared.  now i look at chocolate at the grocery store and have no desire to eat it."
