I have been taking the 500mg pill twice a day for epilepsy for over 10 years now. I have a history of gaining weight easily and eating a real lot very often by taking it. I'm sure that once I'm off of it I won't be thinking about eating so often and will easily get the weight off that I put on when I first started taking it. Before I went on the medication I was taking a mens waist size 29. But now I'm taking a size 34. Went from about 140 pounds up to 176. A doctor I've been seeing has told me that many patients he has who take it are heavy and eat a lot.

Do diet phills help you lose weight?
Diet pills usually don't work. Either they don't do anything, or they make you lose a small amount of weight, then it comes right back on whenever you stop taking them. The best way to lose weight and KEEP it off is a reduced-calorie diet with exercise at least 3 days a week for 30-60 minutes.
