For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I have been using Tenuate 75 mg for 4 months along with a modified high protein/low fat diet, substituting 2 meals a day with a protein shake. I have lost 41 lbs and gone from a size 20W to a size 14! I am very happy with my weight loss and how this drug makes me feel! I have no jitters or racing heart and can tell a difference if I forget to take it. On days I forget, I feel like I'm searching for something to put in my mouth and have to make a truly conscious effort to drink more water and not succumb to my cravings/urges to eat anything and everything! Days when I take it, I almost never think about eating and have to use the alarms set on my BlackBerry to remind me to eat every 4 hours! I have a lot more energy and no trouble sleeping."

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 the 75 mg time-released Tenuate for 12 days now, and I've already lost 6 lbs. I take it in the morning; after it kicks in, I feel a little shaky and nauseated for about an hour (but it's not disabling); after that, I'm fine for the day. I have to be careful because if I'm really busy, I'll forget to eat. I was concerned that it would keep me awake, but it seems to wear off in the evening. I think drinking plenty of water is probably pretty important with this medicine."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I've been taking Tenuate for a few days. When I take it in the morning, I start to feel sweaty and shaky about 45 minutes later, but if I eat half a bowl of cereal and put my hair in a ponytail, then I am fine. The rest of the day when I take it, it does curb my appetite, but I still get hungry and I still like the taste of my favorite foods, so I'll continue to eat after I'm full. I hope to see a difference soon. Maybe it's due to my hypoglycemia. I get really shaky anyway if I don't eat on time."
