"been on adipex for one week and lost 7lbs. i was skeptical at first but after exercising and dieting with no results, what did i have to lose. doctor suggested we try it for 30 days. i&#039;m glad i did.  side effects at least for me include dry mouth; constipation and some sleeplessness. i feel that exercise is a daily must.  after i exercise, i feel normal; the only difference is that i&#039;m not hungry nor am i interested on the donut by desk or cake down the hall!  another point, you will not be hungry nor interested in food; however you must remain mindful that your body needs fuel to to keep burning; so i find myself getting satisfaction from just half of a kind bar (before i could eat 3 at once)."
