For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I started on Adipex-P 37.5 mg on September 27, 2010, and had my follow-up appointment today, October 25, 2010. I lost 15 pounds in 1 month. My doctor said that was great. The only side effect I have is dry mouth. For me, it totally cuts out my appetite, I don't crave any sweets (my weakness). I cut out sugar and salt altogether, and I used SlimFast for the times I didn't have time to make something. I ate more fruits and veggies. I also completely stayed away from soda. I don't have any problems sleeping. When you are on Adipex, you have to be seen by your doctor each month. The maximum time allowed on Adipex is 3 months because of the risk of becoming addicted and other health risks that could develop. After a few months, you can get back on them if so desired. Because you can only be on Adipex 3 months at a time, the challenge will be keeping the weight off after. I know for me it's like it puts a block on all my bad snacking and cuts out all my cravings. I don't have any hunger pains whatsoever, at times, I have to force myself to eat something, even just to drink a SlimFast."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "Well, I have been on Adipex-P since the beginning of August, and I have lost 39 pounds. I have adjusted to the pill and don't have sleepless nights or dry mouth. This pill is amazing for appetite control. I take it early morning and don't get very hungry throughout the day. I keep a healthy snack with me and nibble on that. For dinner, I pretty much eat what I want, but I portion it out to smaller servings. I drink lots of water too. The people I work with are amazed at my results. My doctor even said she hasn't had anyone with results like I have had. If you are looking for a good diet aid, this would be it. I wish I would have found this miracle pill sooner."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I started this pill on 2/24/17. So far, I have lost about a pound a day. I only eat 1,000 calories a day and exercise whenever I get up early enough. I have experienced some terrible side effects, which include dry mouth, insomnia, tingling in my left leg, jitters, and headaches. The side effects are terrible, but I've looked up ways to deal with them: dry mouth, I drink a bunch of water, insomnia, I take ZzzQuil, jitters, drink more water and take deep breaths, headaches, I take pain pills. Does anyone know how long before my body gets used to this medication and the side effects go away?"

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "Today is 3 weeks on Adipex. Symptoms have pretty much subsided, but at first, I was having trouble sleeping. I had a little bit of increased heart rate and random numbness in my arms and hands. I also still feel cold a lot, but nothing unmanageable. My start weight was 182 lb, I'm down to 168 lb. Goal weight is 130 lb. I've cut my calorie intake way down: no breads or sugars, no pop. The medicine does give me a really bad dry mouth, which is good for me because I want nothing but water and lots of it! I do still feel hungry on Adipex, which is good, but it's cut my cravings and my appetite, so I eat small portions of good, healthy meals and healthy snacks in between! I'm excited to see where I am at 8 weeks."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I started Adipex 37.5 mg on 06/14/2010 after reading all the reviews on this site. I also have changed my diet considerably, and I exercise (walking, Zumba, and light weights). I wasn't going to weigh myself, but I ended up going to a doctor's appointment on 6/18/10 for a check-up, and I made a mistake and peeked at the scale, and I had lost 9 lbs in one week. I do experience dry mouth and occasional headaches, but nothing serious. I started taking this medicine because I needed a boost on top of the dieting and exercising. I do not take the medicine on the weekends, and I always cut my pill in 1/2 and take 1/2 when I wake up at 6 a.m. and the other 1/2 at 2 p.m. after I have eaten lunch at work. Starting weight 251 lbs, current 243 lbs (as of 6/18). I will update my progress!"

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I went to the doctor on 5/17/18. I am 5'3" tall, 38 yrs. old, and have had 4 children, three of which are adults now. Anyway, my weigh-in at the doctor's office was 233 lbs. I started my first pill on 5/18/18 at 6 a.m. No side effects other than dry mouth and an energy boost for me. I went to drinking only water, nothing else that day I started the pill. I am using my exercise machine 15 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes in the evening. I have kept myself on a three-meal-a-day program with low-calorie intake, and as of today, 5/29/18, I am 222 lbs. I have lost 11 lbs in 12 days. The first week, I noticed that my weight was just dropping quite quickly, but as this second week progresses, I have noticed that my weight loss has slowed down and is stabilizing to a slow, steady pace, which is good, or for me I feel it is. My goal weight is 115 lbs. Hopefully by summertime 2019."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I started taking this medication on Feb 10, 2010. From the first day I took it, I have had the same overall feelings: cotton mouth-which is overcome by drinking a lot of water, an energy boost, and no appetite. I have to 'remind' myself to eat. I try to keep a log of everything I eat, so that way, I can see if I am eating enough or not. So far, I have lost about 5-7 lbs. I have not gone to the gym yet, but I am getting a membership this Saturday. This medication was just the boost I needed to get started losing weight. I would recommend this diet pill to anyone who needs to lose a significant amount of weight. I cannot wait to see how much additional weight I will lose by adding exercise to my diet routine."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I'm a 6'0 tall female and started using Adipex and B6 B12 lipotropic injection once a week in November. My starting weight was 387.5, and 7 weeks later, now I weigh 366.9. That's a 20.6 lb weight loss. When I started the med, I experienced dry mouth and sleeplessness, but those symptoms disappeared about 3 weeks after starting the meds. I watched what I ate and completely eliminated sweets and soda from my diet. I started walking 50 minutes, 3-4 times a week. Prayer and Adipex have changed my life. I tried so many diets, and this has been the first time that I've lost any weight. I still have a long way to go, but I'm so amazed that I've lost any."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "Well, I started Adipex-P today! I'm 5 ft 4 in, 308 lbs. I have tried a lot of weight loss pills with diet and exercise, I just can't seem to lose much weight. My doctor prescribed this to me. I hope this really helps me lose a larger amount of weight! I will be dieting and trying to exercise 3-5 times a week! I will let everyone know in 2 weeks how much weight I have lost :) Side effects: slight headache, dry mouth, somewhat of a high sensation like I was in slow motion, it only lasted a couple of hours, but dry mouth continued. Drink lots and lots of water :)"

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I started taking Adipex on 3/6/2012, and today, it is 3/27/2012. I weighed in at 188 lbs and now I'm 178 lbs. I used to crave bread late at night that would wake me up out of my sleep, but after taking this medication, I haven't even had a craving. I work out at least 5 times a week, mainly cardio and light weights. So far, I'm happy with the medication, with the only side effect being dry mouth, so I drink more water. My goal weight is 127 lbs, so I will see how it goes. It gives me lots of energy, and if I don't take it, I still don't feel hungry for at least 2 days."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "As of today, August 30, 2011, I've been taking Adipex for exactly one week, and I've lost 9 pounds. I think it works wonders aside from the cotton mouth, restlessness, and jitters. It also gives me an extra little push of energy. I love it. I'm eating healthier, drinking plenty of water, and taking the stairs now instead of the elevator. I haven't even done any strenuous exercise. I love, love, LOVE it!"

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I've been taking Adipex for 2 weeks. My starting weight was 80 kg (171 lbs). In the first week, I lost almost 5 kg (9 lbs), but the second week I haven't lost anymore. I have also started exercising 5 times a week, so it could potentially be changing fat into muscle. Prior to starting Adipex, I wasn't exercising at all. I will update in another 2 weeks where results should be more visual. I have had some side effects including dry mouth, occasional heart palpitations, occasional long-distance blurred vision."

No side effects except dry mouth, I hated water before this, but now I have no choice. Today, 6/14/18, went for a follow-up appointment. I'm 209 lb, that's 4 pounds in two days, no gym. I walk a little at work, but nothing major. My husband was skeptical about this, but now he's seen the proof in me and is scheduled next Tuesday, the 19th, to see the doctor for his prescription. I'm so excited for him."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I started Adipex on March 21, 2018, and so far, I have lost 8 pounds. I'm excited. Now I am at a plateau and haven't lost or gained, but my clothes are fitting looser. My starting weight was 265 lb, and my goal weight is 170 lb. I'm really looking forward to getting under the 200 mark. I was getting a bit discouraged because I just stopped losing until I read these reviews, and I can say I feel much better. I won't give up. I will continue with my weight loss journey. The only side effect I have with Adipex is dry mouth, which is a good thing because it's made me drink more water, lol. I have more energy every day, and the cravings are less, especially at night. I will continue to keep you updated as the days go by."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "Started at 205, 5'4", age 30 female. Experienced the traditional side effects of initial dry mouth, jitters, and sweating, but also lost the interest in eating. All thoughts of eating (especially when bored) went away, found that most often when others were eating or even the smell of food no longer turned my hunger on and in some cases made me queasy. Next, my mental focus and energy skyrocketed, and I was able to complete projects with more quality and determination than ever before. The pounds melted away with virtually little exercise. Lost 25 lbs in the first three months, cannot wait to lose the next 25 and am now including a workout regimen I'm doing at home with the Wii."

So far, I have lost 60 pounds and have not gained it back. I just couldn't lose the last 50 pounds. I finally asked my doctor for an appetite suppressant, which she claimed she didn't believe in. She wrote me a 30-day prescription as a trial. I began that day, March 20, 2018, weighing 209. Today, March 30, I weighed in at 200! That's 9 pounds in 10 days! This is working! I'll definitely get a refill. Side effects are minimal, I have dry mouth and a slight headache when I first wake up, but it's worth it. I will give more updates."

But I do have dry mouth and no desire to eat, which I make myself eat at least a small meal daily if I remember. I am hoping to get down to 180, so I am going to start exercising. I think everybody has a different experience with this pill, but I am expecting great results. I will update again in a couple of weeks!!!"

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I started Adipex 37.5 mg 2 days ago, weighing 266 lbs. I am 4'11", female, and the only health problems are obesity and asthma (exacerbated due to weight gain). I am down to 263 lbs (-3 lbs) in 2 days. The first day, shortly after I took the pill, I felt sort of high and jittery. Wore off in a couple of hours. I took the pill earlier in the day yesterday (which I plan to do every day moving forward) right before my workout. I had tons of energy. Didn't feel high or jittery, but maybe because I worked out shortly after taking the pill. I do have dry mouth, but not terrible. It has definitely caused decreased appetite. I didn't want to eat at all yesterday. I ate 2 small meals and a snack, and before I knew it, it was bedtime. I will be more conscious of my food intake moving forward. I'm pretty sure I ate around 800 calories yesterday. I will update after my next doctor's appointment on June 19. I don't plan to weigh in again until then."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I started taking Adipex on March 15, 2012. My starting weight was 232. My first week weighing in, I lost 7 lbs, weighing 225 lbs. I don't have too many complications, only dry mouth. I used to drink a lot of sodas, maybe 8-9 sodas a day. While taking Adipex, I only drink water. As a result of the non-sleep, my doctor also prescribed me trazodone, this is to put you to sleep. I now go to the gym and walk. I know after I stop taking the Adipex, my eating and drinking habits will change. I love this pill, the only thing is a little constipated, and that comes from not eating. My first week, I just took some stool softeners. Other than the dry mouth, constipation, and a little stomach cramps, I am good."

Severe dry mouth, bloating, and much more irritable than normal. I'm not nearly as hungry as I used to be, and there is actually food left on my plate, which is great, but I cannot continue if the side effects don't at least lessen a bit. I will give it 2 more weeks."

No exercise, but I'm a mom of 4, so I'm kept busy running around after kids. Jitters, insomnia, dry mouth, and dizziness are some side effects I've had, but hoping that my body adjusts to the medicine soon."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I started to take this medicine in October 2009. I have had 2 kids, and about 6 months after my second was born, I decided I had to get this weight off! I weighed 218 lbs when I started taking these, and today I am at 185 lbs. That is 32 pounds so far. I still have about 20 I would like to lose. I don't go to the gym or 'exercise' every day, but the pills give me more energy, and I move around a lot more. I have the energy to get up and go when I would normally have a hard time getting motivated. I sometimes have to remind myself to eat because my food cravings are hardly there at all when I take the pill. I do notice that I get a dry mouth, but drinking water helps, and I love this medication. I think it is amazing."
