> All I can say is I've been on it 2 years and 9 mos. I've lost around 30 lbs. I take 150mg early in the am and 150mg no later than 3 pm. I don't have insomnia problems unless I miss my 3 pm dose and take it later. I'm also on Serzone, which also helps me sleep. Yes I get constipated.

Look at your caffeine intake and reduce or eliminate if you have not yet done so. Eat your vegetables and fiber-rich foods...

Allisonm, If you don't mind answering my question. Have you been on any other AD's? If so, how was your weight on them? The reason I am asking is because someone posted that they felt if you gained weight on one you would probably gain weight on all of them - I am just testing that theory.
Thanks,
Renee
