"so i&rsquo;ve been on the medication for 4 days and have already lost 7 lbs. i&rsquo;m 29, and started out at 227lb, and am now down to 200lb. too be fair, i have an amazing doctor. she prescribed this to me, only if i changed my diet. i cut out most carbs and sugar. plus an hour of exercise. this isn&rsquo;t a magic pill that&rsquo;s going to make you lose a lot of weight by just taking it and not change your lifestyle. the only side effect i had was nausea and tiredness. but again i have completely changed my diet, so that could contribute to that as well."
