I began taking Acomplia in September 2006 and it is now March 2007.

Initially I lost 12 pounds between September 2006 and February 2007 - (from 183 pounds to 171 pounds - BMI 30 to BMI 27.5) on a carbohydrate restricted diet and taking 20 mg Acomplia a half hour before breakfast. Between February 12, 2007 and March 7, 2007 I went off my carbohydrate restricted diet, and I have regained 6 pounds, so I am now 177 pounds (BMI 28.5.)

Acomplia does not make me less hungry at all.

Does anyone have experience taking Acomplia more than 6 months?

Can you report your results?

-----------------------------------------------

i was on rimonabant (the acomplia generic) for at least one year at 20 mg and possibly a second at 5 mg. this was part of the phase III study. the side effects (a bit of anxiety, a bit of speediness, raised blood pressure, a few strange food cravings such as the one for hard boiled eggs) continued during the first year and abated a bit during the second. i don't binge eat and appetite is not a factor for me so i can't comment on that. i felt wonderfully alive and full of energy and, as i said to may people, normal for the lst time in my life. after the study ended, i gained the 30 lbs back and then some but i think the last 15 lbs were more due to an experiment by my doctor who felt i was undereating and overexercising and had me cut back the intensity of my workouts and increase my food by 300 calories a day.

 

gradually, the anxiety and the rest faded. it took several months, tho.

 

now i'm back on the drug and have none of the side effects but virtually no weight loss either. i wish there was some study material on this.

I wanted to reply to say that when combined with some diet and exercise this stuff really does work.  I started taking Acomplia back in Sept., along with an exercise and diet program using a device I found online which helps me carefully monitor both calories burned and consumed.

Since then I have lost 80 lbs, and am on track to make my 100 lbs goal by end of June, which would put me squarely in the "normal for my height" category.  My doctor has been literally amazed - I first got Acomplia from one of the UK sites with an "online consultation" but after a couple of months my doctor actually gave me a prescription and I was able to get it from one of the Canadian sites for much less.  My doc has continued to see me monthly to keep an eye on progress, but overall it's been just great.  No side effects at all that I can see, after the first week when I did feel some anxiety.  The effects of the drug do seem to have worn off a bit, but I still feel full much faster, and have the will power to resist urges and "just say no". 
 
As I say, overall just great, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

I am coming up on my 6 months with Accompla...no I haven't had the tremendous results..but neither have I dieted or exercised...so just  using the effects of the drug alone to decrease my cravings and give me a decreased hunger factor I have continued to lose a pound a week...definately have lost inches on waist..went from a size 1 to a size 16..I'd like to lose another 50 pounds to reach normal weight range...but I am willing to wait the year and pay the cost...In a few months I will see my doctor and have blood work done so I can see if there have been any positive effects on blood sugar, pressure, etc..
Sometimes we focus on the weight alone...I am trying to look at other factors such as my self esteem, overall health and wellbeing//...if I look at everything this drug has done for me...its a winner so far..and I think the best is yet to come.

I've lost 30 lbs in 6 months and 30 more to go.  I've really been pleased...I've been watching what I eat and making healthier choices but not every single day.  Nor am I obsessed with speed of loss...I just want to feel good and look better.  Size 12 is my goal and I'm between a 16 and 18 now (from a size 22!!).  So, still lots to go, but so glad I started when I did, now that it's spring and I feel so much better in my clothes.

I've lost 42 lbs...I'm so very pleased with the results.  30 more to go and I never thought I'd get to a total of 70, but I will now.

In seven months taking Acomplia (10 months 7 on 3 off) I have lost 40 pounds.  The rate of loss  has definitely slowed down partly because it does naturally and partly because I have been much less vigilant.  No side effects at all.

Why do you keep going on and off the drug? Have you had problems with it? My own experience is that you really need to stay on the drug to have consistent results.

I don't understand why so many people rebound in weight. Is it because they stop the drug? Is it because the drug has quit working?  As long as I take the drug, my weight loss is slow but steady. It's about 25 lbs over a bit more than a year, which is fine by me.  Another 20 lbs and I will be where I want to be. However, thanks to the dropping US dollar the drug now costs me 40% more than it did in January. Has anyone else in the US seen this price increase?

May 2007 to September 2007 for 4 months lost 2 pounds - 185 pounds to 183 pounds.

I just want to report that as of January 26. 2008 (2 months since my last report on November 21, 2007) I weigh 188 pounds.

I have not taken Acomplia since September 2007 when I weighed 183 pounds 4 and 1/2 months ago - so my weight is 5 pounds more than when I stopped Acomplia - gained back in 1 month and maintained over the next 3 and 1/2 months. 

INTERESTING OBSERVATION:

At 188 pounds, my BMI is 30.5 (still considered obese.)  Interestingly, this is what I weighed 5/15/06 before I started dieting 2 and 2/3 years ago, so my body has restored itself to its previous weight - the same weight that I was before I had started any weight loss efforts.

What does this mean?
