"5&#039;5 sw 120: started 1 month ago, have lost 12 pounds, steadily losing 2.5 a week now.  can only handle the 2 pills in the morning. anything beyond that and the nausea is too severe.  since i&#039;m still losing on the lower dose, so just sticking with that for now. you have to take this medication with food.

honestly, the hardest part was the mental/emotional side effect.  food loses  its allure. it&#039;s like your &quot;breaking up&quot; with food.  food keeps calling and showing up, but your like, &quot;no food, i&#039;m just not in the mood, i&#039;m sorry, it&#039;s me not you.&quot;  and then you are left dealing with what emptiness you may have been trying to fill with food. also,you get full so fast it&#039;s not even worth cooking a full meal. it works, but there are sacrifices."
