hi, i am using them right now. i have only been on them for a month and have lost 10 pounds. i too get really thirsty, and have lots of energy. But... my doctor (and research that i have done, and talking to friends who have used them) say that 12 weeks is the maximum to take them. for health reasons, you may become addicted (that is what it said in the research) so that is why taking them after 12 weeks is not recommended. i have also heard from a friend, that for her, the pills did not work after 3 months. you could also be at what they call a plateau, your metabolism knows exactly how many calories you are going to eat, and how much you are going to burn, so it doesn't do anything... you will not burn calories. you need to jump-start your metabolism by doing something different. if you always do an aeorbics machine (eliptical/ bike/treadmill) try something different. run for a couple minutes more each day, go swimming, lift weights. all of these things can boost your metabolism. also, if you always eat the same thing, maybe have something different for breakfast. when i take the pills, i usually eat in the morning - per instructions, and at lunch, but i am not hungry in the evening, maybe have some fruit or a yogurt at night.
i wish you luck!!! and hope i can get down as much as you have, congratulations!
