weight loss
"In 2008 I found out that I had COPD and asthma. My doctor had me on a ton of different medications. Prednisone being one of them. As time when on he kept me on the steroids for over a year. During that year I gained over 100 pounds from them. Finally, I told him that I was taking myself off of them because with gaining weight they are not helping my breathing. Just taking myself off I lost 30 pounds within 2 months. I was 283. I switched doctors and he put me on Adipex. Within 2 months I had lost another 30. Now 2 years later I weigh 155. My breathing problems have since gone away. I never changed WHAT I ate, it just controlled how much I ate. I never had any side effects. It gave me GREAT energy at first, but now I feel nothing."
