"on june 11, 2009 i began taking adipex pills and i have lost 10.8lbs, eight of which came off the first week after using the pill. i work out 2 days/week for 30 to 40 minutes. i am going to increase that to 4-5 times a week. i work nights at a hospital and walk a lot. i feel an energy surge, with sweat rolling down my back. i wear my hair pinned up to keep cool. yes, my mouth is dry, but that encourages me to drink more water.  i take half a pill before breakfast and prior to dinner. adipex has helped cut my hunger tremendously. after working all night i no longer feel so hungry that i have to stop and eat breakfast or snack on junk food to feel satisfied before i get home. i go home and go to sleep. this gives me a sense of control."
