For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "Best diet pill so far. I've been on 25mg twice a day for a week and I'm loving it. I'm usually not good on any medication. Even some medications for my stomach can make me feel dizzy and weird. I'm so happy with Tenuate. I don't feel anything but a good feeling. I'm way more energetic. My mouth is always dry, but I'm drinking a lot of water, so it's okay. I haven't felt dizzy at all. Haven't had any weird heartbeat. Nothing. I'm eating half of what I was eating before I was put on Tenuate. So far so good!"

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I love this pill. I'm 46, 5'9" and weigh 294 lb when I started back on this pill 9 days ago. Down 10 lbs. I am on a doctor-supervised liquid diet plan. He prescribed me Tenuate because I never forgot this little helper. On the same style diet plan with Tenuate, I lost 90 lbs about 16 years ago. After my weight loss journey 16 years ago, I put back the weight at about 5.5 lbs a year. :-( Well, now I'm back at it, just older now. But this little pill hasn't changed, still great. Minimal side effects. I am experiencing side effects of a dry mouth (so I'm drinking more water) and insomnia. The insomnia isn't crazy, but I'm wide awake for the late, late show, whereas I didn't use to be. I'll take the extra TV time over being overweight any day. Ask your doctor about this pill. It works."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I've tried Tenuate 2 years ago to lose weight. It worked then, and now I'm older and have high blood pressure and a bad back, so I needed a boost again! Still works the same in lowering my hunger, lost 5 lbs in 2 days! 35 lbs more to go, and I'm very confident I'm going to succeed. Mine are 75 mg. No side effects, with the exception of dry mouth. I drink more water."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I just started the time release, this is my third day. I have always been hesitant because about 6 years ago, I started suffering from severe panic attacks, and since then, I have had a hard time with anything that gets my heart rate going or makes my body feel weird, including caffeine. So exercise would trigger panic attacks. I finally got them under control with meds, but I weigh 277 pounds, not a number I usually say out loud. So anyways, I am not having any major jitters or anything, I have dry mouth really bad but can work with it. I do find that I have no appetite and food tastes a little different but not craving to eat all the time. I am down to 269 lbs, which is probably water weight. I am staying hopeful because I really need my life back."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I was just placed on Tenuate 2 days ago by my physician. I have tried many weight loss options but have had no success. I just have no willpower. I am an RN, and reading about this medication, I must say that I am going into it a little frightened. But, if you all can do it... so can I! I was so motivated by your many success stories, I hope that I can be one to post one also. My first day mirrored some in that the dry mouth and jitters are what bothered me. I don't think I will be able to take the medication at work. That will be okay, I don't have much time to think about food anyway. Lol! Best of luck to you all!!!"

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I have been taking Tenuate for about 3 weeks now, and I have lost 10 lbs so far. That was without watching my diet too much and little to no exercise. I asked the doctor to put me on something to help because I might have to have back surgery. I can't do a lot of cardio aside from walking. He put me on this, and I've been feeling so much better. I sleep great, no side effects aside from dry mouth, and I do get dizzy quite a bit. Definitely makes me not want to eat. In fact, if I go to eat something an hour or so after taking it, I feel like I'll get sick if I keep eating. I know it triggers nerves in your brain, so everyone's reaction will be a little bit different. I don't feel like I'm over-energized or 'spacey'. 20 lbs to go!"

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I have been taking Tenuate 75 mg once a day for a week. I've lost 7 lbs, I have experienced dry mouth, but I can definitely live with that. In fact, I almost feel sick in the morning if I don't drink 16 oz of water between 6 am and 9 am. I still get hungry, but I get full faster. I keep a bag of organic almonds in my desk and eat 6 to 10 almonds when I get hungry, and that takes care of that problem. This is the first weight loss pill I've ever taken, and I am pleased with it. 40 lbs to go, I hope to reach my goal in 4 months. This first 7 lbs was with only 2 days of exercise and eating semi-healthy."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I am 25 years old, 5 ft 9 in, and weighed 262 lbs when I started Tenuate. I have been on it for 2 weeks now. I have not weighed yet, but I have to make myself eat. At first, I was counting calories but couldn't eat more than 900 calories a day, and that was eating 5 times a day, so I just eat a little here and there. I have only experienced dry mouth. I am very hopeful, I need rid of this weight. Maybe Tenuate will do it."
