I took the medication for a year and according to her records I;m still taking them I just stopped myself. I had been doing so well our appointments were 3-4 months apart so I missed the last one because I was busy. I cant gain or lose weight. I gained it from poor eating habits but I havent changed from 220 in 6 months. I tend to stay the weight I am. I was 170lbs for 1 1/2 years and never changed.
