"i have been taking adipex 37.5 mg for about a month now. eating low carbs and more veggies and protein. i eat around 1,000 calories. 5&#039;3&quot; 144 pounds. so far i&#039;ve lost about 11 pounds and 10&quot;. i walk 2 miles everyday. side effects: dry mouth and constipation (off and on). i worry about the heart valve side effects i&#039;ve read that other people have had from taking this but i&#039;m hoping to just have to take it for another 2 months or so. i would like to get down to 125 pounds. i do find that the adipex helps me during the day although i still get very hungry at night. but i fight it by drinking more water. good luck to everyone in their weight loss."
