LOOK AT THE LAST LINE OF THIS FIRST BLOCK OF TEXT!
The magnitude of increased weight loss of drug-treated patients over placebo-treated patients is only a fraction of a pound a week. The rate of weight loss is greatest in the first weeks of therapy for both drug and placebo subjects and tends to decrease in succeeding weeks. The
possible origins of the increased weight loss due to the various drug effects are not established. The amount of weight loss associated with the use of an “anorectic” drug varies from trial to trial, and the increased weight loss appears to be related in part to variables other than the drugs prescribed, such as the physician-investigator, the
population treated and the diet prescribed. Studies do not permit conclusions as to the relative importance of the drug and non-drug factors on weight loss.

I'm on the 30 mg pill for now--my doctor doesn't start people on the 37.5 one.
I have hot flashes and it's hard to fall asleep at night. I'm more thirsty, which is good because I drink more water.
I lost 12 pounds in 3 weeks last month when I started them.
The pills are addictive. You shouldn't take them for more than a few months. And they also stop working (your body becomes adjusted to them) in the same amount of time.
If you are very overweight, you have to weigh the risks and side effects of a pill that can help you versus the health effects of being overweight.
The pills are a good tool to jump start your weight loss or get you past a plateau. They aren't for life-long use.
Diet pills do work, although not forever. You see, diet pills are like any other drug your body builds resistance to them and their effectiveness wears off when you take them for a while.
They do work short term but there are better ways to boost your metabolism and lose the weight.
There are several ways to boost your metabolism but lets look at the factors that drive your metabolism first.
1. Genetics - you have very little control, but you are not a prisoner of your genes.
2. Lean Muscle Mass - this one throws most people off because women think, oh no I dont want muscles and men think I guess I have to look like a body builder. Lean muscle mass is simply your weight minus the weight of your organs, bones, fluids and fat. You increase lean muscle mass primarily through eating properly, resistance exercise, and a lifestyle that doesnt promote catabolizing activites (smoking, heavy drinking and drug use)
3. Frequency of meals - the more meals the more the metabolic processes take place in your body and the faster your metabolism.
4. Water Intake - dehydration is a major drag on metabolism.
Most people are dehydrated and they dont know it.
5. Sleep - getting enough rest allows the body to function at a higher metabolic level.
