"i have lost 45 lbs on this medication in 6 months. starting weight 275 down to 228 this morning. this drug is helping me conquer a problem that i have struggled with my entire adult life. i am 61. i am walking 30-40 minutes 5 times a week and eating less with better choices. the only side effect that i think i have experienced is an increased sexual drive or maybe it&#039;s because i&#039;m just excited about the weight loss."
