Obesity
"I&#039;ve been on this medication for 3 and a 1/2 weeks. I started at 309 lbs and today I&#039;m at 295.4, so as of today I&#039;ve dropped 13 pounds. I have drastically changed my diet to about 600 calories during the work day and up to 1000 at night.  It may sound weird but I&#039;m a construction foreman and stay very busy and therefore can eat low cal snacks and a simple lunch and be fine. I also do a lot of walking around and going up stairs. (100 at a time). I also take plenty of fiber every night.  Without the medication I was constantly hungry and sustaining my weight (not burning fat). As far as taking 4 pills a day I&#039;ve taken ssri&#039;s for years, nuff said."
