"i started taking the 37.5 mg dose 4 days ago.  the first day i felt very strange.....heart racing, skin crawling, cotton mouth and such.  since then that has gone away.  i have little appetite and have to remind myself to eat.  i drink ample amounts of water.  no soda or fast food.  

i have chosen to try this route instead of bariatric surgery.  i suppose time will tell."
