I started taking this medicine 12/02/20. I have now lost 16Ilbs 03/26/21. It was coming off fast at first especially when I was exercising more.

My gums are receding also.

Comment:
It definitely suppressed the appetite. However, I didnâ??t know that dry mouth can lead to tooth decay, which has caused me to need a crown. So, not sure the $1500 for dental work is worth the 18 lbs lost that Iâ??ll most likely gain back once Iâ??m off the drug. I took it a few years ago and as soon as I stopped, itâ??s like my appetite exploded. I craved everything. Iâ??
