"i was put on this medication after i gained 50lbs over a few years.  i was prescribed the 37.5 mg for 6 months.  i started on 3/27/2017 weighing 180lbs at 5ft 3inchs.  after 1 month, i have lost 10lbs.  this medication works, but you do have to change your lifestyle by making better food choices and eating in moderation along with exercising.  i haven&#039;t exercised a lot, due to a surgery i had - but once i am cleared to exercise, i will.  the only side effect i experienced was dry mouth, and this has subsided after a week or so.  i cant wait to see the results."
