"This product was awesome. I went from 192 lbs in September of 2005 to 138 lbs in January of 2006 without any form of exercise. I was working 2 jobs, and it gave me more energy than anything else I've ever tried. Some days I would have to force myself to eat something because I just wasn't hungry. Then, they took the stuff off the market (in Canada at least). Neither I nor my doctor can get it anywhere. I didn't have ANY side effects other than losing ugly fat. Bring this stuff back! I know plenty of people who tried this and ALL loved it with great results. Since being off Ionamin, I'm back at 174 lbs. There is nothing on the market like Ionamin. Please bring it back."

"Took it, lost 150 lbs, kept it off for a while using it every day. Became addicted, 1 wasn't enough... needed more and more. Ended up a speed addict. Got clean and my metabolism was a mess. I thought I could control the drug... but it ended up controlling me. I gained it all back and then some. Found Weight Watchers and Overeaters Anonymous."

"This medication worked wonders for me. I went from 230 lbs in September 2008 to 175 lbs in February 2009. When I took it, it just made me almost forget about food. I would sometimes forget about eating until late in the day and just ate because I knew I needed to. The only bad part was that it stopped working before I got to the weight I wanted, but I haven't gained the weight back as of June 2009."

"I have to agree with everyone here. I was prescribed this medication years ago, and I lost 2 sizes, got down to a size 10/12, and kept it off for 2 years until I got pregnant with my son. My only side effects were dry mouth, not always wanting to sleep (because I took them too late sometimes), and extreme energy! It was the best medication for weight loss I've ever used, and now I'm looking to lose the weight again. Although just a note to everyone, if you are going to do something like Ionamin, it's best to exercise with it... that helps to keep it off. I'm going to see my doctor/nutritionist next month!"

"I started Dec 2, 2016, a 5' 8'' female at 322 lbs. Exactly 14 days later, I am now at 310.6 lbs. I take a 15 mg capsule, 2x a day. It seems I have to tell myself to eat. The only side effect I've experienced so far is dry mouth, so I'm drinking lots of water to help with that. The first couple of days I had increased energy after taking it, but that seems to have tapered out already. I am hoping it continues to work, as I have struggled with obesity all my life. Even after having cancer, I have been struggling."

"This product helped me lose 30 pounds in three months! It was absolutely amazing and truly the best product I have tried. I had energy, no cravings, and enjoyed smaller portions. Taking this off the market was terrible for me, and I gained back a lot of the weight over the years. I had such success with this product."

"I lost weight really fast without any side effects (one of my other meds might have masked the main side effect - anxiety, insomnia, etc.). In theory, similar to ephedrine or old Hydroxycut, but this is a hundred times better. Basically, same idea, but well engineered by big pharma. Lastly, you will gain the weight back, but very slowly. I'm not sure why anyone would think you wouldn't. But you gain it back slowly unless you have some specific reason for gaining weight (leg injury and you can't exercise)... just go back on it a couple of years later."

"I took 'em in 1978. One a day. I wanted to lose 30 pounds three months after my delivery of my second child. I took diet pills back in the 60s and 70s, by doctors with no restrictions. I was 26, my body tolerated them well. Not mentally, I feared gaining weight. I was hooked. It did affect me mentally. Yeah, it gave me energy. Energy any mom with two kids and a baby that worked, kept a house clean, etc. I was tired but down to 130 in two months, but I couldn't give them up. I took them for over a year, got down to 114. Tight muscles and looked great. But I crashed after the divorce and ended up on a psych ward with severe depression, don't take them! I got cancer a few months later. They are as addictive as speed. Lose weight the healthy way!"

"I took these tablets back in the late '80s/early '90s. They were very addictive, and I was put on a higher dose. The establishment I acquired them from was a 'diet' clinic in North East Surrey. I would politely call them quacks. They had no regard for my actual weight - I was, in fact, 8 st 4 lbs. Frankly, had I been 6 st, I'm sure I would still have gotten them. Did they work? Yes, without question. I went 2 solid days without eating a single thing. My only intake was cups of tea. The downside was chronic insomnia, which lasted long after the tablets ceased. I believe these tablets were at the root of the onset of my lifelong problem with IBS. Avoid like the plague. Plan meals, eat sensibly, and exercise - you will lose weight."

"Adepix is the best meds on the market for weight loss. I mainly used it for the energy!!! Losing the weight was an extra. My doctor put me on Belviq and has no energy at all!!!"

"Best weight loss ever and the easiest! Went from 192 to 138 in 4 months! I gained most of it back since they took it off the market 3 years ago! Can't find anything nearly as good yet!"

"I do not recommend this product. I took one pill, and within an hour, went into a seizure and was hospitalized."
