Adipex-P (phentermine) for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "Started the Adipex-P June 4th and it is now July 31st and I’ve lost 35 pounds. I’m now at 180lb. No complaints about this medication but I wouldn’t advise taking caffeine while on it or you won’t be able to sleep for days. Lost 17 pounds the first month. Helps me feel motivated and I’m able to fall asleep just fine. The first week I wasn’t able to get much sleep but my body soon became use to the medication."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I went to a weight loss clinic Jan 4, 2021. Dr put me on old fashioned low fat diet and phentermine. WOW. Went from 218lb on Jan 4 - to 210lb this morning. The dry mouth is lessening. No more jitters or anxiety. I really don't think about food. Dr told me not to spend too much time in the gym, because I am not training for athletics, and most people get into routines they will not sustain. He told me to walk a bit every day. Told me to continue my yoga every day, even if for 15 minutes. TAKE TRAZODONE for sleeplessness. It's not a sleeping pill, but an anti depressant. Doesn't have the harmful side effects of regular sleeping pills. If I combine it with melatonin, it really helps. Also, I don't take Phentermine every day. I think it accumulates in my system and keeps me awake unless I mix it up a bit. I take a half some days, and today I took none. I will sleep better tonight. AND I still get the benefits of a reduced appetite."

Adipex-P (phentermine) for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "At 280 pounds, recently diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, and told to start medications, I turned to my doctor to discuss potential stomach procedures. Well, with 1 Kidney, I'm pretty certain Diabetes would eventually cut my life short so why not go through a drastic change? No.... instead I asked her for three months to lose 30 pounds, and she suggested I try Adipex/Phenermine 37.5mg So like many all of you, I did, and I instantly felt that sudden feel good surge of energy. I'm now 10 weeks in and lost 33.5 pounds. Some will read this and many of your posts and instantly think it's a fake review. But honestly readers, this pill has changed my outlook on life. Give it a shot, it may not work for all, but it may work for you!"

Adipex-P (phentermine) for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I started Adipex on 8-18-14 & today is 8-25-14. I am down 8 pounds in a week. I hope this kind of weight loss continues but I'll have to wait & see. I did experience a little bit of nausea for the first few days but it wasn't too bad & dry mouth a little. So far I am pretty pleased."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "My body demographics: age 28, 5’1”, Starting weight as of 2/18 was 180lbs. I breastfed my child til 10mo then instantly gained 30lbs after I stopped (warning to all breastfeeding moms!). I would exercise, went on every extreme diet you could think of for weeks and sometimes months at a time, and usually could only manage to shake about 2lbs. After just three doses of this medicine, I’m already down 6lbs. Yes, there are side effects, but it’s worth it to me. I definitely have the dry mouth and headaches, but it makes me drink more water. I was incredibly addicted to Mt. Dew. Since I’ve started, all I want is water. I hardly have an appetite. I eat less than half of what I had been. It’s a miracle in pill form!"

Adipex-P (phentermine) for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I have been taking Adipex for about 5-6 years. All I can say is that some of you will feel bad or very bad after taking it but most important is to take vitamins and minerals along with Adipex. I had back pain, heart racing then even I felt like my heart stopped for 2 seconds, scary but I started to listen to my body. I drank lots of water, ate loads of spinach and leafy greens and vitamins, vitamins all the time. It is also strongly advisable not to eat any meat or heavy meals. Please remember that despite the fact that you got loads of energy, uyor bowels are sleeping, you can hardly feel any movement in your stomach. Phentermine is blocking the "hunger centre" in your brain. I hope it helps. I have reduced all side effects I've had."

Adipex-P (phentermine) for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I've been on this medicine off and on for 6 months. I've lost about 30 pounds. My cycle is 1 month on and one month off. If you take it more than a month your body gets used to it. I have found giving the body a rest and allowing the metabolism to adjust without works best for long term weight loss and maintaining. I started at 180, currently at 150. I get bad side effects, but seeing the scale move and clothes fit motivates me to move on. If you exercise with this medicine it can make you nauseated and cause vomiting. Exercising first thing in the morning, then taking the medicine works best to prevent nausea and vomiting. Also, I find it important for users to change eating habits. Suggest clean eating 6 days on 1 day off."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "SW 283, GW167, CW223! Lost 60 lbs in a little more than 4months. Take phentermine about 5 days per week. Use MyFitnessPal. Walk and hike a lot. Weight train a little. Try to eat as much protein as I can and be carb conscious. So glad I don’t have significant negative side effects. They were worse during the first week, but now am just thirsty and have mild to moderate constipation. I’d say it’s worth it. And if you can, push through the first week of sweaty palms etc. unless of course it causes significant medical concerns. Also, have adopted a bit of a zig zag pattern to calorie consumption with one very low calorie day per week. This is working for me. Glad to be more than half way to my goal!"

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "This pill is AMAZING. I have recommended it to all my friends. My stress hunger and ALL my cravings went away. I am notorious for eating sweets and that’s one of my weaknesses. One of the best things that I enjoy about this medicine is the ability to take your hunger away. Some things to note is that while on this medication, it says do not consume alcohol. With that being said, I do like to have an occasional drink. When I knew I was going to have a cheat day, I didn’t take the pill that day because it negates the purpose of this pill. Also, I drank coffee one morning before an exam and took the pill at the same time, and bad idea. It overstimulated me. For those that are considering this medication and want to be a healthier, happier, skinnier you, I highly recommend it. Make the choses to eat right while your appetite is suppressed. Weight loss is one of the hardest journeys to undertake! Good luck to all of y’all!!!"

Adipex-P (phentermine) for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I started in Adipex Feb 16th. I weighed in at 308lbs, the heaviest I've ever been. As of March 27th I am now 260 lbs and going. I run 5 miles everyday and totally changed my life style. Drinking lots of water I probably go through a case and a half a week. I did experience the dry mouth and a serious boost of energy the first day I took it. After that it's just been dry mouth but hey I'm accustomed to drinking a ton of water. If you change your lifestyle and hit the gym it works."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "Taking this medication for 4 months now, I was 203 pounds on March, and down to 169 pounds now (July), feeling good. I'm 33 years old, I've always struggled with my weight and binge eating disorder but it got worse during the pandemic. I was binge eating everyday and I couldn't control it - I was 203 pounds, the heaviest I've ever gotten, I was uncomfortable in my own skin so I decided to look for help cause I couldn't do it on my own, even though I tried. The doctor prescribed phentermine. It took most of my appetite and cravings - I felt hungry but I would eat just the necessary. I still have binge eating episodes when I have PMS but not as bad as before. Not many side effects for me, just VERY dry mouth, it made me drink more water which is good. Insomnia sometimes, and a little headache and constipation in the first week. I recommend it to people who want to get healthier but can't do it alone, just don't forget that you have to be strong to keep the results. It's not a miracle pill"

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I was prescribed phentermine as a way for me "boost" loosing the weight I had gained while on antidepressants. At the start of taking the medication, I must say I did feel a little shaky or jittery for about 1-2 days but then all was fine. My energy was high and my hunger was suppressed. I even had to remind myself to eat! I was averaging loosing 1 pound a day! I did incorporate moderate daily or every other day exercise and watched what I ate and the weight kept coming right off! Within the first month, I had lost 16 pounds and dropped a pant size! I only took phentermine for three months and then stopped. In total, I lost 34 pounds and dropped two pant sizes. I absolutely recommend this as a short term weight loss booster for anyone needing to loose some weight quickly."

Adipex-P (phentermine) for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I have been on Adipex for two weeks. My doctor suggested it to help me lose some weight. I was 200 pounds at the start. I am now 194lb after 2 weeks. I take a half a pill a day. I work at a desk all day and would have issues with snacking all afternoon. Now I don't. I force myself to eat some fruit every afternoon or a protein shake. I cant eat a full meal because I feel fuller faster. I have more energy . I have had dry mouth but drinking water is a big help with that, and I drink a lot more water. I do have some heart racing at times but the more water I drink the better that is. Which is good because it did throw me into a few panic attacks. No headaches. I did get insomnia the first two nights but I switched to taking the pill at 10 am instead of noon and that stopped. I started exercising so hope to see more weight drop off. My goal weight is 145. but Y am only taking this until my bottle is gone."

Adipex-P (phentermine) for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "Began adipex on 7/7/16, feeling great about it and a little nervous at the same time. I started out at 233 lbs and I am 5'5" so I was pretty chunky.. a 38.77 on the BMI chart to be exact... Well, I changed the way I ate, I only ate salads, meats, nuts and slim jims for the first week and I lost 12 pounds in 7 days. I cut out all sugary drinks, Haven't touched a drink with sugar in it since the 6th of July, so very proud of myself! Well, to cut this short, I now weigh 183 lbs and I'm still losing even though I'm not on this pill anymore. Just stick to your diet & you'll be good to go! It's hard at first, but I promise you get used to it fast & it just becomes natural!! GOOD LUCK!"

Lomaira (phentermine) for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "Lomaira has been a total improvement for me! Seriously, I've struggled with my weight forever, but this stuff has really helped me get a handle on my appetite. It's not like it's some magic fix, but it's definitely made it easier to stick to healthier eating habits. What's cool is that it comes in a lower dosage, so I can adjust it based on how hungry I'm feeling throughout the day. That's been awesome for keeping my cravings in check without feeling all weird and jittery. Of course, it's not a miracle pill. You still gotta put in the work with diet and exercise. Overall, Lomaira hasn't totally transformed my life, but it's definitely been a big help on my weight loss journey. I only had to pay about $22 per month without insurance coverage through goodrx."

Adipex-P (phentermine) for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "Hello, I am 44 years old and I was 182 pounds 3 Months ago. I started diet by my self and I was able to lose 10 pounds. I went down to 172...Then I stuck. I finally went to my doctor and he prescribe me the Adipex pill. I started last Thursday at 172.5 pounds exactly 6 days later i am down to 166.6 and its not even a week yet. I will keep you posted. As far side effects only the 1st 2 days, light headache but I am OK now, very thirsty I started walking every day for at least 35 minutes( I still have a problem with my foot so I go very slowly, but I am trying). So far I love it. I am not hungry, and I am very careful what I eat. I eat , vegetables, fruits, lots of water and fish. Sometimes small piece of Grilled chicken, I forget to eat, but I am trying to eat in between, veggies or fruits because I don't want to gain all the pounds back once I stop the medication. I will take it for 3 months. So I still have long way to go. I need to go down to 130 . 36.6 pounds to lose."

Adipex-P (phentermine) for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I started taking Adipex on July 15, and I must say I have definitely seen a difference in my eating habits and it's only been 3 days! Amazing! I was 127lbs in 2012 and somewhere along the line I lost the will to work out and stay fit. Needless to say I gained about 35lbs since then so I am giving Adipex a try and it's doing wonders for my appetite! I experienced dry mouth the first day and that's the only side affect I have had. I eat a yogurt for lunch and dinner is 2 turkey sandwiches on wheat bread, and I drink 2-3 bottles of water a day. Eating right and exercise are key to helping drop weight quicker! Once you stop taking the pill you must maintain good eating habits along with exercise or the weight will come back plus more!"
