"first day of adipex.. my doctor wrote me a prescription for full dose but advised me to start with half of a pill due to anxiety i may have. took the half pill this morning and boy do i feel the energy.. hopefully i can stay on the half strength but i&#039;ve been reading reviews that say that the effects wear off after a few days. i&#039;m a nurse so i do like the extra energy.. my starting weight is 215..ultimate goal is 165..but for now getting under 200 would be great. hopefully i can use this extra energy to go to the gym..i&#039;ll keep everyone updated. i love reading everyone&#039;s weight loss stories.. good to know i&#039;m not the only one who has weight loss as an issue. best of luck to everyone.. and stay hydrate"
