My standard dose was 100mg. I lost 25 lbs. over 2 months maybe. I thought I would lose more weight on a higher dose, so my pdoc bumped it up to 125mg for me, but I did not lose any more weight from it. The brain fog goes away. The tatse of food really didn't change for me too much. I just wasn't hungry. And I tried not to eat so I could lose the weight. Soda tasted flat and I couln't drink coffee anymore. I have noticed that after my weight loss, I started to eat my regular diet again which was alot of food, and I was able to maintain my weight.
Hope this helps.
