"i started taking this medication on 3/15. i am 36 year old female that weighed 202 lbs. i have been working out for months in a boot camp setting and instead of loosing weight i was gaining due to not keeping a proper diet. when i went to the doctor my doctor stated that i should try this as my weight was higher than she would of liked it. i spoke to a friend who had taken it and then decided to give it a try. in the two days that i have taken it i have suffered from extreme thirst, dizziness, nausea (if i don&#039;t my mini meals like i am supposed to) and insomnia. i weighed myself today and went down 4 lbs, and that&#039;s in two days. i read in the previous reviews that the side effects subside after the first week and that&#039;s what keeps me going."
