"Struggling with weight for years, I have tried numerous diets. High protein low carb being one of the best. But with a busy stressful life I needed a but of help I stared on phentermine 30Mg in the morning and phendimetrazine 35Mg in the evening. They worked like magic LOST 6 lb in 1 week, 10lb in 1 month by the 3rd month I had lost 20 lb. Started at 170lbs ended at 150lbs, maintained for 2 months just by taking morning pill. I will start taking evening pills to lose 20lbs more. The secret is stop eating and start only tasting good."

"So far I've been on this medicine for 7 days and have lost 7lbs as of yesterday. I worked out 3 days for like 30 minutes each day. I have still ate the same but just have stayed away from sweets. My appetite completely is gone, I eat a little pouch of oatmeal in the morning and a Lean Cuisine for lunch. Sometimes I feel a little hungry and will have Greek yogurt in between. I do track my calories via MyFitnessPal app on my phone so that helps to not over eat. I did have a slight headache and felt a little jittery but nothing major at all. I was nervous because some reviews had me worried. Otherwise I am still taking it and I'm excited to see how much I lose this week! It is expensive by the way, luckily I have an insurance card that covers."

Bontril Slow Release (phendimetrazine) "Due to my rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis I am on steroid shots. I gained 25 pounds in 4 weeks. Lost 11 pounds when I could exercise. Then NOT being able to exercise (RA on feet and ankles). I started Bontril on March 11 and stopped for 9 days because I could not get to the doctor. I have lost 10 pounds. No withdrawal symptoms while off. Would recommend it. Starting tomorrow again."

"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"

"I started taking PhenD 105mg on April 3 - along with fish oil, multivitamins, and extra strength Apple cider vinegar capsules. Today is April 21, and I am down a total of 10lbs. I only have about 30lbs to go to hit my goal weight and I really feel like PhenD will help me do it. This medication makes me feel great. Improves mood and depression, is an excellent source of energy, and I have little to no appetite. Only side effect is dry mouth, which helps me to hit my daily water intake, and I've been craving fruits and veggies like crazy. Highly recommended!"

"I started taking 105 mg back in September and have lost close to 25lbs. I started at 210lb in June and lost 25lbs on my own and went to my weight loss Dr who put me on 105 mg a day. I know weigh about 163. I love love love this pill. I have almost no side effects except for dry mouth sometimes. I drink plenty of water and I now eat very clean. I workout 3 to 4x a week. Not too strenuous because of 2 herniated discs. I highly recommend these pills!!"

"I began a weight loss program on August 29,2015 to date 01/31/2016 I am down 57 pounds and I feel great. This weight loss has really come from just eating healthier and taking a b12 vitamin in the am as well as after the first three hours of being awake a 30mg phentermine capsule. I have been kind of stuck for the last couple weeks and the kicker has been that even after eating a nice sized lunch salad I feel like I am starving. I went to the clinic on Friday and told them about being hungry in the middle of the day and they gave me a 35mg phendimetrazine to take around 1 or 2 every afternoon. I have not had any problems sleeping since they were prescribed and really haven't even had the dry mouth lately. I have started to lose again."

"I have been on PhenD since Tuesday, August 30th. It was not prescribed by my primary care physician. I decided to see a weightloss clinic and stick to a specialized plan. Originally, the physician wanted to place me on Contrave but I quickly declined that option due to the severe nausea so many people experience so she decided to place me on PhenD. I am SO glad that she did. My starting weight was 278.6 and today (3 days later) I am at 271.0! 7.6 lbs gone already! I have been following a 1400 calorie OR LESS diet since Tuesday and I walked about a mile last night. I am amazed. Thankfully, only side effect I have experienced has been cotton mouth. I suggest this medication strongly."

Bontril Slow Release (phendimetrazine) "Took it for about two months (skipping doses on weekends and some weekdays due to extreme side effects), started having extreme difficulty breathing, anxiety attacks from not being able to breathe with such a tight chest. Also it made me ridiculously irritable, and mean all the time but I did lose 15 lbs on it. Most of the time I felt like I was literally going insane. Not sure it was worth it though."

Bontril Slow Release (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."

"I took this medicine last year, it worked great, my doctor had me taking phentermine at first but that only worked for a few months, he then added this medication, I took 1 phentermine pill in the morning and then 1 phendimetrazine pill at around 4 or 5 pm, I lost about 20 pounds the first month with a strict 1200 calorie diet and exercise at least 3 times a week. I was 22 yrs old and am 6' tall, I took both these medications together for about 2 or 3 months and lost a total of 35-40 pounds. The only side effect I did have was the dry mouth and bad taste in mouth but drinking lots of water and chewing some sugar free gum kind of helped. Other than that I loved the medication. I recommend this medication to anyone seeking results!!"

"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!"

"I have been prescribed this medication since 5/12/15. I weighed in at 204 lbs & am expecting to weigh in at less than 150 lbs 11/23/15. I also take 1/2 a water pill first thing each morning, Bentyl every night & B vitamin every other night. All prescribed by the doctor, dispensed at 28 days. In addition to this, I follow a 1000 calorie eating plan, & do my best to move fast for 30 min each day. Self discipline is not easy, but paying for it holds me accountable. I have fibromyalgia, pancreatitis & a vomiting condition that started when I was 9 yo. I also have had several times throughout this last 6 mo when my back was out & I could hardly walk. I am thrilled with results & only had dry mouth as side effect. Now to build muscle!!"

"I lost 50lbs in 3 months on Phendimetrazine. When I 1st got the pill I was 240lbs just had a baby 1 year prior. 175lbs before baby. After OTC diet pills and diet fads I went to the dr for help. 3 times a day (one hour before meals), 4-5 days a week at the gym & a calorie deficit life style change helped me lose weight like crazy. My mood was so much better & I had motivation in everything I did. I had no crazy side affects. I got prescribed for 6 months. However COVID hit & gyms closed for 4-5 month. I decided since I thought the closed gym wouldn't last long I'd enjoy myself. Well we all know how long that went for. I SLOWLY gained 15-20lbs & a year later I'm back on the prescription. I was so stressed out with the world covid policy's & being harassed at work for them I would stress eat. I went to the gym when the gyms opened back up but couldn't get my eating under control. Day 3 and I lost 4lbs already. I know its water weight and such. I feel amazing like I have will power again."

"I got diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome 5 years ago. The doctor put me on many different pills which made me sick to my stomach. Then he put me on phendimetrazine. I take one when I wake up and one around 3pm. It has helped me have the energy I need to enjoy life. I was always so tired and didn't know what I was going to do. I am so thankful for this medicine. I have had no side effects except for dry mouth sometimes. I drink more water and chew sugar free gum to help. I don't take this for diet. I'm 34 and 5'6 weighing 134. I've maintained this size for 5 years now, give or take a few lbs. It really helps for energy."

Bontril Slow Release (phendimetrazine) "I was prescribed Bontril SR 105mg 9/8/10 I weighed 178lbs. I weighed myself for work I was @ 167lbs. I haven't weighed myself since but I can feel it in my clothes week by week and can see it in my face. I just began working out to increase my weight loss so hopefully I'll be 30lbs lighter in 2 months. The one thing I love about this pill is that I have to force myself to eat, which makes me aware of what I'm putting in my mouth. When I want to eat I can't because I always feel full. The bad thing is if I forget to take it. I want to eat everything in sight. Good luck to you all."

"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. "

"My name is Joshalynn. I'm a severe asthmatic, have been since forever. I had to take steroid pills and shots because I couldn't breathe. It caused me to gain so much weight it never went away. At the age of 14 I was 268lbs. It was about July 2010 that I looked in the mirror and saw that I was horrified with what I saw. I had let myself go and to me I looked very fat. A week later I was put on Bontril. It absolutely changed my life. It's now May of 2011 and I way 220 pounds. The weight is still coming off and I barely have anything that fits cause its too BIG. I've never been happier and it keeps getting better."

Bontril Slow Release (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."

"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!"
