"i have been on phend since tuesday, august 30th. it was not prescribed by my primary care physician. i decided to see a weightloss clinic and stick to a specialized plan. originally, the physician wanted to place me on contrave but i quickly declined that option due to the severe nausea so many people experience so she decided to place me on phend. i am so glad that she did. my starting weight was 278.6 and today (3 days later) i am at 271.0! 7.6 lbs gone already! i have been following a 1400 calorie or less diet since tuesday and i walked about a mile last night. i am amazed. thankfully, only side effect i have experienced has been cotton mouth. i suggest this medication strongly."
