"i started taking adipex in june of 2007 and stopped taking it in april 2008. i lost 55lbs with it but i quit cold turkey in may on 2008 and since then i have gained most of my weight back. when i went to talk to my doctor about getting back on it he told me not to stop taking it all at once but to lower my dosage slowly. that&#039;s why i gained most of my weight back. he put me back on it 3 days ago and i have already lost 5 lbs. so i do recommend adipex to anyone. just make sure your doctor does approve it because it can speed your heart rate up and give you lots of energy. it is great."
