For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I have been taking it for 3 weeks and have lost 6 pounds. I was on Adipex. It has been 5 months in total and I have lost 42 pounds. I have 30 more to go. I am eating 1200-1300 calories a day, and exercising at least 3 times a week."

"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."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I am not at all hungry and I too, feel more focused. I do not have the anxiety I had with the Adipex. I just started taking it and have not weighed yet but I feel so much more in control now."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I'm taking Bontril now. Today was a week. I have lost at least 3 lbs, eat 1/4th of what I did, and am more focused. While taking this you should drink lots of water because your mouth will be dry."
