"I have been taking this medication for almost a week, and I noticed immediately that the hunger decreased. I find myself hardly hungry, and when I do eat, I notice that I am full alot quicker. So full to the point of getting sick with another bite. Lunch time seems the meal where I can eat the most, but still that is hardly anything. "

"I used this drug about 30 years ago. It worked very well. After my baby and divorce, I gained so much weight that I had gastric bypass about 20 years ago. In the last 6 months or so I have found myself 'eating through' the bypass and eating emotionally. When I felt an appetite suppressant could help me get back on track, it was so nice to ask my doctor for an 'old' drug that I was successful with in the past. He was happy to prescribe it. I've experienced no side effects, and it has been easy to catch myself when trying to eat the wrong foods and/or for the wrong reasons. In 4 months, I have lost 50 pounds (primarily on keto - ideal for bypass - including the occasional cheat weekend.)"

"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 its due to my hypoglycemia. I get really shaky anyway if I don't eat on time."
