I would like to ask questions to someone who may have took adipex on short term basis and im interested to know if the weight was kept off? I weigh 230 and I have been exersizing for two months now I also cut out pop. I lost 8 pounds in the beginning but then came to a stand still. So a friend of mine took adipex and recommened it to me so I seen my doctor and he prescribed 37.5 mg with a water pill. Today is just my second day and I cant say that I have that much extra energy. Im kind of worried cuz I heard that adipex can cause heart problems but I was just wondering if thats for short term too.
