"i started this medication in july of 2011, by the time september rolled around i went from 267 to 243 thats almost 25 pounds in 2 months. i did change my eating habits and exercised as well. the pills stop my appetite at one point, so i made sure to schedule my meals and even water because the medication did dry my mouth. i am a really anxious person and i was glad to have something that helped and did not cause my anxiety levels to rise."
