"i have used this pill off and on for the past 9 years. i have to say it&#039;s the best pill for losing weight and the only thing that has ever worked for me. i gain at least 60-70 pounds with each pregnancy, so each time i have a child, i have a massive amount of weight to lose, and each time i take the pill, i go right back down to my size 4 within 4-5 months ( no exercise). my tips, after taking it so long are the following: always take way before breakfast--take the first thing in the morning, and if you really want to get results, don&#039;t eat any carbs for breakfast. never go from taking one a day to stopping, because you will gain it back. you must wean yourself off slowly and you&#039;ll be fine.
