Recommended Answer:

It is possible. But you did lose 15 lbs. Sometimes, there is a plateau. Your doctor might have the answer. Usually they say that you need to take the Rx more than you need to lose the weight.

• Stimulates help you lose weight, it keeps the metabolism working hard and do does eating 8 small meals a day and it sounds like your doing good keep it up
• iv'e heard stress can make you lose a lot of weight.. maybe as your taking them (less stressed) your body isn't losing weight faster than normal.. Some people lose weight quicker than other (people have a high metabolism or low metabolism) or these drugs are making you gain weight.. ask your prescription supplier of the side effects. Good luck!
