"i&#039;m 5&#039;3 and weigh 196lbs and i started taking adipex on 4/5 and on 4/8 i weighed 193lbs. the first day it made me very jittery and have dry mouth very bad. i have also walked on the treadmill for thirty mins since i started the adipex. i have lost a pound a day. it helps me to eat smaller portions. my goal weight is 150lbs."
