User Reviews for Adipex-P

I have used this pill off and on for the past 9 years. I have to say it's the BEST pill for losing weight and the ONLY thing that has ever worked for me. I gain at least 60-70 pounds with each pregnancy, so each time I have a child, I have a MASSIVE amount of weight to lose, and each time I take the pill, I go right back down to my size 4 within 4-5 months ( no exercise). My tips, after taking it so long are the following: ALWAYS take way before breakfast--take the first thing in the morning, and if you really want to get results, don't eat any carbs for breakfast. NEVER go from taking one a day to stopping, because you WILL gain it back. You must wean yourself off SLOWLY and you'll be fine.

I have been taking Phentermine for 6 months. I was 250lbs 5'10" male. One day got tired with shortness of breath just taking a shower, that opened my eyes that I needed help. Now I'm 190lbs just taking this miracle medicine and just walk the dog type of exercise. Breakfast - Cheerios/2% lowfat milk and bagels with cream cheese. Lunch - chicken salad or shrimp salad with low fat dressing. Dinner - before 6pm - KFC grilled chicken 2pc. mash potatoes or rice. SNACK - 8pm any real fruit. AVOID ALL SODA EVEN DIET SODA, FRUIT DRINKS, ICE CREAM ANYTHING SWEET. "WATER ONLY!" It will be tough at first but stick to this for 1 month and you have survived. You WILL lose 10-15lbs. CHECK AND RECORD WEIGHT DAILY SAME TIME BEFORE BREAKFAST. GOOD LUCK.

I think that Adipex is the best diet pill they have come out with yet. I will swear by this pill. I used to wear a size 18 and now I'm in a size 10. This is no lie , I would even do a commercial for this product. My friends know how big I use to be and now... wow. I have a before and after picture of myself. This pill really does work. Felicia

Well I've been trying to lose weight since I gave birth to my son 14 yrs ago. And my new years resolution was to lose weight, and I was give Adipex by my doctor. I started on my diet Jan.2008. I weighed 210 lbs. And now with eating healthly and exercise I weigh about 180 lbs. I lost 30 pounds and I'm very happy with myself and thankful for my family and friends with all their support.

I started taking Phentermine HCL March 18, 2008 weighing 194.5lbs and today (May 8) I am weighing in at 178lbs. I have more energy to work and play with my son. I have not had any trouble sleeping, and my life has only gotten better. It was recommended to me by a friend who has lost 50 pounds since December. I would recommend this to anyone who has tried every other diet pill. This DOES work. It won't leave you disappointed. TRY IT!

I started using Adipex March 08 weighing in at 332lbs. As of September 08 now 284lbs. Lost 48lbs in 6 months. At first had a little trouble going to sleep but that went away after a coule of weeks. I think that the pill is totally worth it. Now I have REALLY picked up my exercise routine and I am now very cautious about what I eat. Very little starch at all. Exercise consists of 3-4 miles on treadmill at 6-7 mph then 30-45 minutes in a sauna EVERY DAY. I would suggest taking the pill for 2-3 weeks then laying off for a week. This is what has worked for me.

I was put back on Wellbutrin back in February 09' and I started at 223 lbs. A month later I went back for a checkup and lost 6 lbs on my own. I then asked about Adipex. The Doctor put me on it in March 09'. I lost 19 lbs the first month. It is now August 09' and I am down to 159 lbs --- below my goal weight of 165 lbs!! This is the last month I will be taking Adipex but I will continue my low carb, no sugar diet. I also exercise 2-3 times a week at the gym for about 75 minutes. It has really helped me change my lifestyle. There is no magic pill out there! You really have to be dedicated and be willing to work hard.

I began taking Adipex in August 2008. I have been sticking to my doctors weight loss plan of a 600 calorie per day diet. It has been 6 weeks and I have lost 23 pounds. I feel so much better and plan to continue Adipex and my diet plan until I reach my goal weight. When first beginning Adipex I had some trouble sleeping and found that I was dizzy often. Keeping some hard candy in my purse to eat when feeling dizzy seemed to help level out my blood sugar. After the first couple of weeks sleeping and dizziness troubles went away. I feel that with the amount of weight I have already lost in a short amount of time this drug is totally worth any and all of the side effects that I experienced.

I started using phentermine (Adipex-P) in the later part of February, 2009. My first weigh in was 233 pounds. I now weigh 203 pounds. The only side effect I had was a slight case of the jitters that lasted about a week. Other than that everything has been great. I do exercise a few times a week, most of the time. Nothing crazy, just the treadmill and weights, when I feel like it. I do have high blood pressure and I take lisinopril 10mg for that. I also keep up with the calories and sodium I take in and I only drink water, if I need flavor I buy the pour in packs (ex. Crystal Light, or Sam's Choice). Just the fact that I don't drink ANY sodas is a big accomplishment for me, because I was a Pepsi-holic.

I started taking Adipex early February 2009 weighing in at 288lbs, exactly one month later weighed in at 268lbs. Now April 3 I am weighing in at 255lbs, only taking half a pill every other day, sometimes I go a few days without taking it. Started out with 30 day supply, 2 months later still have 7 pills remaining, so it really doesn't take much. I love it, it gave me a boost of energy so with exercise and a healthy diet I have lost 33lbs in 2 months! NO SODAS AT ALL. I do not deprive myself of sweets, if I crave chocolate, I may eat 1 or 2 cookies. It has changed my life completely.

I have been on it for about a month on and off and lost 20 pounds. I didn't excercise at first, but have made it to the gym everyday this past week. It makes you aware of what you eat and how much you eat. I put myself on a strict eating plan of all fruits, veggies, and lean meats. I have 3 friends who have taken it and it has changed their lives! It is a miracle pill! I noticed in the beginning I would wake up multiple times a night (but would always have maximum energy all day) so I took a Benadryl at night and it fixed it until I forgot to take it, and I realized I sleep all night without it now! It has helped me, and for me I don't consider it a quick fix because I'm more aware of what I consume. Just 40pds more to go for me!

I have taken Adipex since February 2009. I am a 41 year old, 5'6" female. When I started taking Adipex, I weighed 187 pounds. By August, I weighed 150 pounds, which was my initial goal. I now weigh 143 pounds! Most of my clothes are now sizes 6 & 8. I feel great. Adipex has changed my life. It was super simple to do.

I started taking Adipex on November 17, 2009. It is now January 25, 2010. I have to admit when I first started taking Adipex I felt like I was on straight speed. I couldn't sleep, eat, or concentrate. I still have bad mood swings and get upset very easily. I have no problem sleeping that wore off the 3rd week, I tend to get hungry later in the afternoon. I was taking a half of pill the first month. I take one pill a day now and do great except for my mood swings. My starting weight was 165lbs. I now weigh 138lbs. That's a weight loss of 27lbs. I still have 8lbs to go. I exercise 5 days a week on the treadmill for 30 minutes each time. If you are really wanting to lose weight and can overlook the side effects this is the pill! Good Luck!!

I started taking Adipex on March 15th. Today is May 28th and I'm down 15 lbs. It seems to be very slow coming off, unlike the other users who say the weight just 'drops off'. It's not what's happening to me, however I do take an antidepressant that may slow the weight loss down a bit. I have changed my eating habits completely, however I still haven't found the time to exercise. If it's that time of the month, I may even go up a few pounds, then the following week, I'll be back down. It's definitely worth it.

I started taking Adipex in June of 2007 and stopped taking it in April 2008. I lost 55lbs with it but I quit cold turkey in May on 2008 and since then I have gained most of my weight back. When I went to talk to my doctor about getting back on it he told me not to stop taking it all at once but to lower my dosage slowly. That's why I gained most of my weight back. He put me back on it 3 days ago and I have already lost 5 lbs. So I do recommend Adipex to anyone. Just make sure your doctor does approve it because it can speed your heart rate up and give you lots of energy. It is great.

I have been on Adipex for about 2 months. Started out at 262 pounds. At my 1 month check up I weighed 249 so I lost 13 pounds in the first month. It's a few days before my second check up and I weigh 239 pounds so I only lost 10 pounds this month. I feel stuck at my new weight.. So I need to change something about my exercise or my eating. I really feel like this medicine is great for anyone with a weight problem. Looking in the mirror I see a whole new person. I set my goal to high and I think that's what's causing me to feel like it isn't good enough. I had a friend who lost 80 pounds in 3 months on Adipex. So I guess it's about determination. So I'm back to the gym. I want to get down to 150 pounds. Where I haven't been in 7 years!

I loved it. I lost 25 pounds in 6 weeks and I had the same food I had before, just less then I did. I'm still on it and I would love to lose another 40 pounds by mar-1. I started at 237lbs and now am at 212lbs. I would love to be about 175lbs.

I've been taking Adipex for 13 months. I've lost 50 -55 lbs. I saw the biggest loss in the first few months 10-13 lbs. The next several months I lost 4-8 lbs a month. The past couple of months I have remained at the same weight. During the past year I have been eating sensibly, but not dieted. I have not exercised either. Now that my weight loss has tapered off and I am not to my ideal weight, I intend to start a regular exercise program and hope to shed more lbs. I've not had any side effects and will continue taking it till I reach my goal. I was 269lbs and am now 217lbs. Was a size 20 -22 and now a 16. I want to lose another 50 lbs.

I was on Adipex in May of 2007. I lost 60 to 70 pounds in 3 months time. I got sick and had all the bad side affects. I stopped taking it in a years time and gained all the weight back and then some. Got depressed because I couldn't fit into my clothes again. I am back on Adipex now. I need this drug to lose the weight. Just be careful taking it and don't drink with it. It does work.

I started take Adipex June 2 2009. I have lost 28 lbs since then and feel so much better. I still have a long way to go but I feel motivated to do it. The only side effects I had was headaches, and dry mouth. But I drink tons of water to help with the dry mouth so that isn't such a bad thing. I would recommend this to anyone who needs to lose a significant amount of weight. You must do it right though and be sure to eat, sometimes I have to force myself to eat.

I started taking adipex-p august 15,2008. I weighed at 177lbs. It's been a little over a week and I can tell that i've lost. I haven't weighed myself again but I can tell by the way my clothes fit. My appetite has changed since I began taking the pill. I will weigh myself next month on the 15th to see how much i've lost. I highly recommend this pill to anyone who wants to lose weight.

I started taking this pill on 5/24/08 and have already lost 9 lbs. I weighed 180 LBS and now I weigh 171 lbs. I am really excited about this medicine. I needed a jump start because I craved sugars and carbs alot and had been working out 4-5 times per week since January and not lost any weight. I haven't worked out because the doctor says to see how the pills affect me and then start slowly incorporating exercise. He has me on a strict plan and I will be off them in 6 weeks.

This drug is amazing. I lost 20lbs in 2 months.

I began talking Adipex since March 10, 2009. I am down 14 pounds. I found that after a couple of weeks I was getting a tolerance to the medication. I stopped taking it for two days and the weight started to fall off again. I exercise at least 3 times a week by walking and running on my treadmill and using stretch bands. I feel great. I still have twenty pounds to go, but I am eating MUCH healthier and do not crave junk food anymore. Make sure you change your eating habits so you don't gain the weight back when you get off the medicine. This is just the jump start that I needed to get back in shape after having two kids.

I've been on phentermine since Sep 2, 09. I was 291lbs. today, still taking it, I'm 248lbs.That's a loss of 43lbs & there are no words. For about 6 weeks I didn't take the drug because of certain reasons. Coupled with exercise, running 1.5 miles 3-4 times & doing Zumba 4-5 times a week & watching what I eat. I see the results & I'm very proud. I've found that phentermine is not meant as a simple, quick fix, but is to help change your body AND mind so that you can maintain because a change of mind has taken place once you are off. I suggest exercising when you start taking it because the weight will come off even if you do nothing, and that can be deceiving in that you won't think you have to work as hard and you'll gain it back plus some when you stop.
