Weight Loss
"I have been taking this medication for four months now, and started on the lowest dose and moved onto the middle dose.  So far, I am down 16 pounds (I&#039;m petite at 5&#039;1).  I hit my plateau the last month, so I just started the new dose of 15mg yesterday and will see if that helps. I&#039;ve also been counting calories/working out and I think you get the best results when also changing your lifestyle.  It&#039;s not a magic pill, but it helps. It certainly helps suppress your appetite and sugar cravings. After reading some of these posts, I feel pretty lucky as I haven&#039;t had severe side effects other than some tingling in my fingers, and a harder time falling asleep. But again, regular exercise will also help with that, or at least in my case."
