"i&#039;ve been on this medication since wednesday, nov. 11th. it&#039;s tuesday, nov. 17th, and i&#039;ve gone down 5 pounds in 6 days.  so far the only side effect is dry mouth at times which gave me more of a reason to drink more water. i take mine at 6:30 in the mornings, and it&#039;s effective all day. some evenings i notice i&#039;m tired more than others but not every evening. i pair this with eating healthier and exercise to try and get the maximum results. i&#039;ve cut out coke and fast food. and my portions are basically cut in half. i don&#039;t feel like eating like i used to. overall, i&#039;m loving it so far."
