"i am 25 years old, 5&#039;9 and was 186 pounds. i am a full-time student and makes me much less active than normal. i have done little exercise and have lost 15 pounds in 6 weeks! medication is great, i don&#039;t even have to drink coffee, and i forget to eat because my appetite just disappears. once the medication kicks in and makes me lose the cravings, it&#039;s also much easier to eat well when i&#039;m not taking it. i have saved hundreds of dollars on impulse food alone! my doctor was reluctant to prescribe it because he treats a lot of people who are much older, and severely obese, and by comparison i didn&#039;t have much of a problem. i wanted to feel healthier and reach my goal of being 150lbs, and i am very healthy to begin with so why not?"
