"i just started this medication on january 19th. here it is, january 22nd, and i&#039;m already down five pounds! i&#039;m only on 15mg, but five pounds in three days is fantastic. it has completely suppressed my appetite. i used to only want to drink cokes and snack all day, but now i&#039;m more into water than soda. so far, the only side effect that i have experienced is dry mouth."
