"I have not noticed any effect from Bontril at all. No side effects, no reduction of hunger, no energy. It's as if I never even took anything. I have lost a couple of pounds but that is because I am eating very healthy and really cutting back but I am starving all the time. I'm not sure I will be able to make it this way."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "My Dr. prescribed Bontril one week ago and have lost 5 pounds. The only side effect was insomnia for 2 days. I usually walk 15-20 mins and when I eat I get full really fast, this is what I needed."
