"i&#039;m a 55 y/o, 5&#039;4&quot; female, starting weight 162.  not an obese bmi, but gained a ton of weight during breast cancer treatment, so was able to get the prescription.  i have been on it one month today, and weighed in at 151 -- 11 pounds lossed!  i worked my way up to the 2x2 dose exactly as recommended.   the first few days i was dizzy and felt nausea, but it went away.  now my only side-effect is constipation.  i used to drink wine daily, but miraculously stopped.  i also eat less and have more energy, and exercise more.  i have always exercised, but now i do it more often and with more intensity because i just plain feel better.  i may have been depressed and didn&#039;t know it.  i love this medicine and can&#039;t wait for month two!"
