Hi everybody! I'm a newbie here. My name is Sarah. I'm about to turn 29. I weigh 307 lbs right now and am 5'3"but have always been in good health. Last Wednesday, I met with my doctor about possible weight loss solutions. She recommended Adipex. We went over everything to make sure that I qualified for it (no heart issues, no diabetes, no high cholesterol, etc.). I was so excited about it because I've heard of people having really good results. I started my medication on Thursday with a starting weight of 314 lbs. That's right! I've lost 7 lbs in 5 days! I found with this med, I literally have no appetite and have to make myself eat. I have switched from regular white bread to whole grain white. I've been eating more vegetables and healthier items. I haven't started exercising yet. I've been having some joint pain and that's what urged me to see my doctor in the first place. I would love to hear some input from anyone who has taken this med. Good and bad. The first two days, I was extremely tired but that's gone now. Besides that and the dry mouth, I haven't had any strange side effects. Any comments or input is welcome!
