 5  Hypothyroid. 95 lbs overweight Mild dry mouth. Perhaps a tad spacey first 2 days. I wasn't going to post until I had been taking this a while, but the first 3 days seem to be when everyone is affected one way or another. First day, felt a little wierd "spacey"? No decrease in appetite. Second day, still felt a little spacey with mild dry mouth. Today, day 3 I feel great, but have the dry mouth. No headaches to note. Woke up today and have ZERO appetite AND zero interest in smoking. Sleeping great and no palpitations! Hope this keeps up, was very very worried about the side effects! Took phentermine in the past and it was a HORRID experience! F 39 3 days

 5  Hypothyroid. 95 lbs overweight Quite thirsty. Peeing a lot! No other side effects to speak of. I wasn't going to post until I had been taking this a while, but the first 3-5 days seem to be when everyone is affected one way or another. First day, felt a little wierd "spacey"? No decrease in appetite. Second day, still felt a little spacey with mild dry mouth. Day 3 felt great, but had the dry mouth. No headaches to note. Day 3 woke up with ZERO appetite AND zero interest in smoking. Day 4 Feel great, a little munchy in the evening, but that is due to taking it so early in the AM. Today, day 5, constipated, but already had that problem prior to Meridia Rx due to thyroid problems. Hope this keeps up, was very very worried about the side effects! Took phentermine in the past and it was a HORRID experience! Oh and in the past 5 days I have lost 3.5 lbs. YAY! F 39 5 days
