"i have taken adipex now for about 2 weeks, and i must say that it is a miracle drug. i started at 305 lbs and already i have lost 14 lbs. i also found that the earlier the pill is taken, the better the effects. i usually take mine on the way to work, which is about 5:30 am. by the time i arrive at work, i am fully energized and prepared for whatever the day has to bring."
