"i started taking adipex on 02.25.2016. my beginning weight was 235 pounds and as of today, i weight 211.4. so far i have lost 23.6 pounds. this medicine does work. my doctor was not happy with my weight gain since i have been out of work due to an injury on the job and prescribed this medicine to me to help me lose weight. working out does help. i probably would have more weight off of me but dealing with a neck and back injury does limit the ability to workout quite a bit. i have had one side effect from this medicine, dry mouth! i drink a ton of water now! i cannot stand the taste of sodas anymore since i have been drinking water for so long."
