text: I'm on it now, but if you only have 25 lbs to lose, you don't need it.  It's a serious drug--DRUG--with side effects--including addiction. (I have one friend who is addicted.)  It's NOT for losing 25 lbs.  Were you checked out by a doctor first?  \nI've lost almost 40 lbs since February on it, but I'm morbidly obese. The drug was designed for people like me--not you.\nI wouldn't subject my body to insomnia, headaches, dry eyes, thirst, hot flashes and now withdrawal if I only had to lose 25 lbs.  \nBe careful, that's all I can say.
