"started taking adipex and i was at my highest weight ever. i was at 218lb. i currently am down 42lbs and now sitting at a weight of 176lb. adipex really does help curb your appetite. only down fall i&#039;ve found was that the dry mouth can be a tad irritating at times. i drink on a daily basis probably around 2-3 gallons of water before i started taking adipex and now with this medication i am almost doubling my water intake just because no matter what for me my mouth is always dry. it is a side effect that i am willing to live with though with the type of results i am getting. i have also lost 20 inches off my entire body since the process has started. i do go to the gym 4 days a week and i do cardio and weights as well."
