I just started my second month of this medicine. I've lost 16 lbs total. I've feel full and satisfied, but I still get hungry and get nauseated if it's been hours since I've last eaten. I do not want to snack like I used to and my portion sizes have been cut in half. Since I don't have a scale at home, the way I knew the drug was working was because my clothes were starting to fit looser on me, so you not only lose lbs, you lose inches too. The only side effects I've had are flushing, dry mouth, joint aches periodically, and insomnia, but it only lasted for the first few weeks. I sleep fine now. So far, I'm not having any issues with rapid heart rate or high blood pressure. I have noticed that the medicine isn't working "as well" as it did when I first started it a month ago as the weight is not coming off as fast, but it is still helping me not to be hungry as often as I used to be before starting it. I'd definitely recommend this drug.
