phendimetrazine: I have been on and off of phendimetrizine 35 mg for three years. The first 2 months I ever took them I lost 50 pounds. Until the past year I had a great experience with it... although I would yo-yo if I came off the pills and diet, they were extremely effective while doing it correctly. I would STRONGLY recommend never combining the pills with alcohol, too much caffeine, or cigarettes. The last year has actually driven me to be very hesitant to use the medicine. I am truly nervous of having a heart attack. I became very nervous, anxious, experienced high blood pressure, and heart palpitations. It's scary. Just be very careful because you will eventually think you need these pills to lose weight, and that is terrible. Be careful!

phendimetrazine: I have been taking phendimetrazine for 1 month already and I have lost 20 pounds. Going to the GYM 5 times a week AND diet no burgers, fries, soda, pizza, straight healthy! I started at 166LBS when I went to the Doctor, right now I'm 146LBS. I'm 25, 5'6 my goal to look great is 130-135LBS and I'm all done! My experience that I would like to share about taking The Little Magic Pill (the way I call it) ..it really works. It's worth it 100% and remember it takes time but it does happen. While taking this pill hunger and cravings just vanish. GOOD LUCK! TAKE IT!

phendimetrazine: I have only been taking it for a couple of days and I feel better than I have in years. I have to make myself eat. My energy is great but no jitters. I actually feel like doing things again. Great mood elevator. Wanting to lose approximately 30lbs. I don't have much will power but I think this will do the trick.

Bontril SR (phendimetrazine): I started taking Bontril 105mg for about 4 days and haven't weighed myself yet. I used to take this pill about 4 years ago and lost around 30 pounds, but then stopped taking them when my former Doctor stopped prescribing diet pills. It was until a co-worker referred me to a new Doctor and I am completely happy with him. He first gave me Adipex but after 2 months with no weight loss results he changed me to Bontril last week. I am confident and happy that I am back to this pill and more than sure that it will work. I am 157 and 5" and my goal is to lose 35 pounds before my 20 months old birthday.

phendimetrazine: I have been taking this now for two months. I am currently at 31 lbs weight loss and I feel better than ever. It works great as an appetite suppressant, I don't have any of those carbohydrate cravings and my energy and focus are through the roof. I have no jitters, restlessness, or any of the side effects mentioned. I am very happy with this product. In addition to the medication I have been on a high protein, low fat, low carb diet with occasional exercise. I try to exercise at least 3 days a week, but it usually ends up being 1 to 2 days a week because something always comes up. I have been on diets and pills for 15 years and this is the first thing that has ever worked for me and been pleasant too. Would recommend to anyone.

Bontril SR (phendimetrazine): I lost 6 pounds on the first week of taking Bontril, then no more lost. I didn't have cravings at first but after 3 weeks I am hungry again. Headaches are gone, still doing the diet but nothing happens. I will finish the first bottle and see if it is worth it to start a second. I had high expectations.

phendimetrazine: Just starting a weight loss program containing the medication combined with a once a week B12 shot, this is my first day taking the pill and I'm still as hungry as I was yesterday before I took it. Maybe I have to give it a few more days.

Bontril SR (phendimetrazine): I started taking Bontril about 5 days ago and have already lost 11 pounds, Amazing! I am not at all hungry, I have to make myself eat 3 meals a day and the only thing so far is I haven't slept well. Hopefully this will subside. I started at 166 pounds and I am 5'6" tall and my goal is 145 pounds.

Bontril SR (phendimetrazine): Previous user of Adipex (phentermine), which would work great for the first few weeks, but then totally wear off, not to mention the side effects (insomnia, heart palpitations, constipation, anxiety) were annoying to deal with. Switched to Bontril and am so happy I did. I feel calm and focused. It's the oddest thing to not have to "stress" over counting calories and choosing good food options. It just sort of is a perk with Bontril. One tip: drink lots of water. Bontril, water and clean eating dropped 8.7 pounds off me in a week. One of the best parts is going to bed and being able to sleep, which was hard with Adipex.

Bontril SR (phendimetrazine): I began using this medication February 5, 2009 and have lost 25 pounds to date. I follow the 1200 calorie intake recommended and go dancing twice a week as exercise. This medication is a great jump start to changing your eating habits. I no longer need to eat pizza, burger, fries, or soda to feel full. Grilled chicken salad is now my new favorite meal. If used appropriately it should help reach your goal.

Bontril SR (phendimetrazine): I'm taking Bontril now. Today was a week. I have lost at least 3 lbs, eat 1/4th of what I did, and am more focused. While taking this you should drink lots of water because your mouth will be dry.

phendimetrazine: Been taking Bontril for years and I am completley satisfied with the results. I don't have the side effects mentioned. If I did not take it I would be about 300 lbs (I'm 150lbs thanks to bontril).

phendimetrazine: I've been taking this for almost 4 weeks now. I weighed in at the doctor 3 days ago and have lost 14 lbs already. I was 202lbs and I am down to 188lbs, at 5'2. I have been on a strict 1200 calorie diet, and have not exercised, although I have a 19 month old I chase after all day. I have increased energy, and I feel great about myself. They really work to help with appetite control. I also just started taking a multi-vitamin just to be sure I am getting enough nutrition. The only downer is that I have been having bad headaches for the past week. So Ive been just taking motrin. I take 3 pills at 10 am every morning. And I sleep great at night. I recommend these to those who really want to change there lifestlye.

phendimetrazine: I've been taking phendimetrazine 105 mg once a day for a little over a week now. I've lost 6 pounds already without any exercise (recent foot injury). I definitely think once I start exercising again the results will be even better. I have had no jitters at all. The appetite suppressant part worked great the first 3 or 4 days but now has seemed to wear off a little. It's still there just not as strong. However, those 3 or 4 days really helped me realize how much I had been eating before and now it's much easier to eat just 2 or 3 small meals a day. I started at 172 lbs and my goal weight is 135 lbs. I'm also getting B12 injections once a week so that is probably contributing to the weight loss as well.

Bontril Slow-Release (phendimetrazine): I have been on Bontril 105 since mid-August. I have lost 20 lbs so far. I have had no side effects. I am in my 50's. I watch my carbs and walk for about 45 to 60 minutes 5 days a week.

phendimetrazine: I have had no problems with this medication. I feel extremely alert except at night, which I fall asleep quickly. I have lost 5 lbs in the first week because I am eating only what I should be eating. I have no appetite for the extra junk I have been eating for the last few years, when I put all this weight on me. Oh and now that I am not so consumed with my weight and snacking, I can concentrate on work so my work has improved as well.

phendimetrazine: I am 5'9 and used to weigh 292lbs and now weigh 230lbs. I have been taking phendimetrazine for less than four months and have lost 62lbs. I have 40 to 60 more to go. I think this diet plan with good eating and working out is the best kept secret out there.

phendimetrazine:
I'VE BEEN ON BONTRIL FOR 1 1/2 YEARS. IT HAS WORKED GREAT!! I'VE LOST OVER 110 PDS. AFTER STRUGGLING WITH WEIGHT ALL MY LIFE, THIS IS THE ONLY MEDICINE THAT HAS HELPED. AFTER TAKING THIS FOR SO LONG, THE ONLY THING DIFFERENT IS THE APPETITE SUPPRESSANT QUALITIES HAVE WORN OFF A LITTLE, BUT THE ENERGY QUALITIES (STILL GIVES A LITTLE BOOST) ARE STILL THERE. WITH DIET AND EXERCISE THIS WORKS WONDERS. I EXERCISE 1 1/2 HOURS FOR 5 DAYS A WEEK. ONLY SIDE EFFECT WAS SLEEPLESSNESS FOR THE FIRST COUPLE WEEKS.

phendimetrazine: I initially started taking Bontril to lose weight after a year of having a hysterectomy. Not only did it suppress my appetite, I realized how much more "focused" I was.

Phendiet (phendimetrazine): I have been using this drug for 1 month, and I have lost 11 pounds so far. I still have 20lbs to go. I had been exercising 6 days a week, for at least 2 horus a day, with lots of cardio, and the weight wouldn't come off, until I started on the Phendiet. Since starting, I reduced my exercise to weight lifting and swimming 1.5 hours a day. My only concern is feeling like my blood pressure drops and like I need iron. I meet with my doctor every 2 weeks.

Bontril Slow-Release (phendimetrazine): Any side effects I had went away after a week or so. I've lost 14 pounds so far and it's only been 2 months. If I were to exersise I am sure I would have lost a lot more by now. I am not hungry and when I do eat I am satisfied with just a little food.

phendimetrazine: This is the first time I've taken a diet pill that didn't leave me jittery or with balloon-head syndrome. I went grocery shopping about an hour after I took a dose. It was the first time in years that I only bought what was on my list.

phendimetrazine: I started taking it 2 weeks ago through Medicenter weight loss clinic and I lost 9.6lbs the 1st week and 4.8 this week. I have a lot of energy which is helping me to exercise again. I have never been someone who takes medication so this is very hard for me but the results are on the scale. I am hoping to lose another 30lbs over the next 2 months and then get off the pills and head back to Weight Watchers for the last 15!

phendimetrazine: I was skeptical for using pills and I used this one for 6 months and turned down 52 pounds. I never felt bad only at the beginning a little sleepless. And it has been more than 8 months I left them and only gained 8 pounds due to no excercise. I feel great

phendimetrazine: I just started taking 35 mg 3x a day and the only side effect is the bad taste in mouth. But as an appetite suppressant it is great! I just chew sugar free gum if it gets bad. Sometimes the taste will make you not want to eat which is good 2!!!

Bontril Slow-Release (phendimetrazine): I have been taking Bontril 105 for 6 months now. I have lost a total of 40 lbs but I am not the strictest of people. I have changed my diet alot but still have days where I cheat and eat bad things. Went thru 3 kinds of pills before I got to this one due to headaches daily.

phendimetrazine: I take phendimetrazine 105mg when I need energy for that day. I take it early in the morning, about 7 o'clock and am fine to go to be at 10 or 11. The longer you wait to take it, the later you will be able to get to sleep. It does great with apetite suppression. I work out and it helps me there in both aspects. Have not had any side effects at all.

Bontril SR (phendimetrazine): I am 70 years young, 5'1" tall, and did weigh 160. I have been taking Bontril for 6 weeks. I feel great and have lost 12 lbs. I must see my doctor every 30 days to be weighed. I find that I am satisfied with a lot less food. I try to eat a lot of vegies and tiny amounts of meat. Also bread that has 7 grams of fiber. When I get to my target weight of 140 lbs, I will wean myself off the Bontril by taking it every other day at first then down from there. I do not have an addictive personality.
