I lost 30 pounds in less than 3 months with this drug, a sensible diet and exercise. I had started and quit a few diets before taking this medicine because I never felt satisfied after a small meal and I always wanted to snack. The first day I took it, I was shocked at my lack of interest in food. I would eat, but not with the same vigor and certainly not the same quantities. I noticed my mood was improved and that I had the energy to do things, including obsessive cleaning of my house. After several weeks of taking it, the medicine didn't seem as strong to me; however, my new eating and exercise patterns were established. Good diet starter but not a permanent solution.

I took this one a few years back and lost over 20 pounds in about 3 months. I'd have kept using it but didn't have the money to keep going to the doctor. Some years have passed and I'm back at another doctor who's giving me Tenuate. It's nothing like I remember with the phentermine. I was probably in better shape my first time around because Tenuate just doesn't seem the same. I don't have nearly as much energy as I did with phentermine. When I was taking phentermine I was constantly looking for something to do. I was always cleaning and moving furniture when I wasn't walking to school in the city.

I started at 247lbs and took it for 3 months and am now at 214lbs. It worked great. Lots of energy and no appetite. Had to make sure and eat things that were healthy because I needed the nutrition and I did exercise daily but after the 3rd month really noticed extreme hair loss, so I had to stop. It's been 5 months and my hair is still thin and I am at 208lbs now. Good luck.

This drug works well while you take it but if you are looking for lasting results in weight loss this is not the fix. There are side effects such as feeling uneasy or hyper and inability to sleep. Also the longer you take this medication the less it works. This may be a good way to start your weight loss but you must be prepared to make lasting changes for the results lasting.
