"i started taking adipex exactly 4 weeks ago today and i am officially down 22 pounds. i started out at 5 foot seven and 184 pounds  and as of this morning i now weigh 162 pounds. 

this pill has given me an immense amount of energy and has actually improved my mood and my overall sense of self worth. 

it really is a miracle worker however all good things have downfalls as well. i have become extremely constipated and i have to take a stool softener and miralax just to consistently go to the bathroom. the first three weeks i had the most horrible cotton mouth i&#039;ve ever experienced before and in the first two weeks i had the most awful taste in my mouth. 

most importantly i&#039;ve just recently started having some problems with my blood pressure going up and i actually had tachycardia last night while i was at work. i&#039;m already on a blood pressure medication but i had it under control before i was allowed to start this pill. 

i am not sure if it&#039;s the medication because it was literally just an onset with the blood pressure and tachycardia. i also just got off of antibiotics for tonsillitis. 

 i live and work in a very high stress environment and let&#039;s just say i was at work having a very bad night when i this happened. 

overall, i do you recommend this medication but only if you do you seriously need it. i have a family history of obesity, diabetes and high blood pressure so i was wanting to nip it in the bud before it got to that point."
