"i started this medication two and a half months ago. my regular doctor refused to prescribe anything and my weight continued to climb. i have no excuses. i was completely out of control eating out all the time and eating for no reason other than boredom. i decided to go to a weight loss clinic. i checked in at 217 pounds, 5&#039;7&quot; and 40 year old female. they gave me generic phentermine and i get the lipo b12 shots weekly. first month down 14 pounds. second month down 9 pounds. pretty sure the third month will be higher as i just started my period on the second weigh in and was typically bloated. dry mouth is the only persistent side effect for me. i drink a lot of water and chew lots of gum. my appetite is nearly non existent and i feel great."
