Adipex-P (phentermine) for Weight Loss: I have taken Adipex before a little over a year ago and lost 10 pounds the first 2 weeks, then I stopped taking it. I just recently started taking again on November 5th, and it really curves my appetite, and makes me drink lots of water due to dry mouth. I haven't started working out yet, but I try to only eat fruit for breakfast, a "smart one" for lunch and a 100 calorie snack during the day if I'm hungry. For supper I eat normal foods, just smaller portions, and drink nothing but water. I have already noticed a difference in the way my clothes fit, but I'm not going to weigh for another 2 days. Starting weight 198.5lbs (5'4) Goal weight 145lbs. I go back in one month and I will keep posting.

Adipex-P (phentermine) for Weight Loss: I started on Adipex-P 37.5mg on September 27, 2010 and had my follow up appointment today October 25, 2010 I lost 15 pounds in 1 month. My doctor said that was great. The only side effect I have is dry mouth. For me it totally cuts out my appetite, I don't crave any sweets ( my weakness ) I cut out sugar and salt all together, and I used Slim Fast for the times I didn't have time to make something. I ate more fruits and veggies. I also completely stayed away from soda. I don't have any problems sleeping. When you are on Adipex you have to be seen by your doctor each month, the maximum time allowed on Adipex is 3 months. Because of the risk of becoming addicted and other health risk that could develop. After a few months you can get back on them, if so desired. Because your only can be on Apidex 3 months at a time, the challenge will be keeping the weight off after. I know for me it's like it puts a block on all my bad snacking and cuts out all my cravings. I don't have any hunger pains what so ever, at times I have to force myself to eat something, even just drink a Slim Fast.

Adipex-P (phentermine): I've been taking Adipex 37.5 mg for 4 weeks and have lost 20 lbs. I take half a pill in the morning, the other half early afternoon. No jitters, shakes or bad side effects this way. LOVE the results, sooo happy!

Adipex-P (phentermine) for Weight Loss: This is my 2nd post. Today makes 4 weeks and total I have lost is 13 lbs so it averages to 3.25 per week, I still work out at least 4 x per week maybe more. I am making lifestyle changes and still doing weight watchers to keep track of my points. My goal is to be on better choices so that when its time to stop taking the medicines I will not gain any of it back. I will post again in another few weeks. Good luck everyone.

Adipex-P (phentermine) for Weight Loss: I'm 23yrs old have I have been pregnant twice. After my last pregnancy I've been struggling to get the weight off and nothing seemed to work. I've been told by many of my friends how great Adipex works but now that I've tried it myself I have had great results. Weighing in at 257 on September 13,2010 depressed me, 3 days later I lost 8lbs. It suppresses my appetite and gives me energy but I get dry mouth a lot but drinking water to stay hydrated helps a lot. Overall I am happy with my results.

Adipex-P (phentermine) for Obesity: I started this medication August 27th 2010...a few days ago. I normally wouldn't tell anyone what I weigh, but I'll tell you all, 263 pounds. I'm 21 I have high cholesterol. I just decided one day that I had enough. So, I made the appointment at my local bariatric clinic. She gave me a combination of Phentermine and Phendimet, as well as a thyroid pill. The first day taking the medication was weird. Cold sweats, nervous but, I did day two and I felt just fine. A little headache, I'm not sure if it was medication that did it, or my lack of caffeine. I stopped drinking Dr.Pepper. I haven't taken it that long, only three days. But, I feel good and I am already eating better. I know when I am full. I hope this was helpful to someone.

Adipex-P (phentermine) for Obesity: Though this pill works great you find that after you stop taking it your appetite comes back and so does the weight. There is no miracle medicine out there. I will say for a quick fix such as an upcoming event its perfect but for lifetime no. The only true way is through diet and exercise for long term effects.

Adipex-P (phentermine) for Weight Loss: I just started Adipex on 8/20/10. I haven't weighed yet but I will on 9/02. I will post my results. I currently weigh 195lbs and I'm 5" tall. I had my daughter about 2 years ago and the weight never left. I kind of jump on in. I bought about 10 bottles of water at 8oz so I can drink them daily. I start walking in the morning and cardio in the evening. I will keep that up for two weeks to see results. If my routine works I will keep going. First day I took it in the morning about 30 mind before I ate a bowl of cereal and I wasn't hungry for the rest of the day. I actually forgot to eat. Day 2 was the same way and day 3 I had breakfast and made myself eat a light dinner before 7. I love how it craves my appetite. that's progress. Will repost on 9/2. Stay tuned.

Adipex-P (phentermine) for Weight Loss: After having my first child, I realized I had gained 80lbs! My original weight pre-baby was 130, but when stepping on the scale before delivery I weighed 207. I am a short woman, and so this weight is very showing on me. I have taken this medicine about a year previous and lost 10lbs on my own after the medicine, so now this year my doctor said I could try them again since I was taking 3 different anti-depressants that counter acted with the medicine. So now I'm on it again, but it is no miracle pill. I have been on it a week and lost 10lbs yes, but I work out every single day. It is there to help you control portions and teach your body to not overeat. Most women when getting off this medication go back to their original weight.

Adipex-P (phentermine) for Weight Loss: I started Adipex on August 2. I had my second (and last) baby almost 3 months ago. I have an extra 25 pounds of baby weight on top of being 240 when I got pregnant. I need to get the weight off as I am pre-diabetic. I am doing a 1500 calorie diet along with the pill. I cut out all white bread, white sugar, white rice, etc. I also cut out pop (even though I was only drinking diet pop). I was down 7 pounds as of yesterday. I hope to be down 10 pounds total by the end of this week. I haven't started exercising as pregnancy also brought along plantar fasciitis. As soon as my feet get better, I will be hopping on the treadmill. I don't notice much more energy, just seem more awake. I still get hungry, it just takes a little longer.

Adipex-P (phentermine) for Weight Loss: I went to the doctor for lower back pain/leg pain and I knew I was overweight from keeping the baby weight on from 1 year ago. He suggested Adipex to help get me motivated. I started the pill the end of February at 191 (5'10) and by the end of July I am now 144. I went off the pill for 2 months in May/June. Now on it again for just a couple months. I will take a break over the winter and see how I do. I found out that I lost more weight when I did not work out. Now I am starting to work out to tone up. Love the new me.

Adipex-P (phentermine) for Weight Loss: I have started taking Adipex 5 days ago and I have lost eight pounds already. This is a wonderful drug. I have been on and off of it for years. You can lose weight very fast with this pill. It really works if you want to lose weight. You may experience dry mouth. You don't feel hungry, you have to make yourself eat. I haven't been doing any kind of workouts, but plan to start. I go back to my doctor 8-26-10. She said that I would have to lose 6 pound if I want to get more. I started out at 187 and now I am 179.

Adipex-P (phentermine) for Weight Loss: This is the 2nd time I use this medicine. The first time I lost 30 lbs, the reason I got off was because we had started trying to get pregnant. After 2 years of being off the medicine, I just got back on. It's been 1/2 month and I've lost 9lbs, but 3 inches off the waist, 1 off my calves, 1 off the thighs, 1 off hips, 2 off bust, 1.5 off the arms. I just started my diet, and I've been exercising for 5 months and couldn't lose anything. But with the pill I've been losing.

Adipex-P (phentermine): I started Adipex on July 12 - one pill every morning. My start weight was 221, I'm already 212lbs. Today is July 21, 9 pounds already. A little itchy but no other problems, a little dry mouth but water helps. Drink a gallon of water a day and park the car, sometimes walking is the best workout. I love it. 50 pounds to go. I'm not hungry.

Adipex-P (phentermine) for Obesity: This is a really good way to shrink your tummy, control your portions, and best part is if you use it on and off you don't form a habit, and you will see how your mind senses when its time to stop eating, and you don't have the binge eating - its fantastic, I've used it for 12 weeks on and off about 50 pills and lost 23 lbs .. eating, exercising and not cutting out foods I love.

Oh yeah cut the pop drinks only drink water.

Adipex-P (phentermine) for Obesity: Update from 06/24/10 post! I have been on Adipex 37.5 for 2 weeks and 3 days now. I have lost a total of 13 pounds in this amount of time. The only problem I have been having are headaches so I am taking myself off this medicine for about 3 days. I'm still walking everyday, doing light weights, Zumba once a week and not taking the medicines on weekends. I do notice that I am a little hungrier when off the medicines, but I just find something to keep my mind off food. Like I'll get up and take a walk outside or go chat with a co-worker. I keep Graham crackers, fruits and water for snack, when I get the hunger feelings. Starting weight was 251lbs current is 238lbs. I will keep updating!

Adipex-P (phentermine) for Obesity: I started Adipex 37.5 mg on 06/14/2010 after reading ALL the reviews on this site. I also have changed my diet considerably and I exercise (walking, Zumba and light weights). I wasn't going to weigh myself but I ended up going to a doctor's appointment on 6/18/10 for a check up and I made a mistake and peeked at the scale and I had lost 9 lbs in one week. I do experience dry mouth and occasional headaches, but nothing serious. I started taking this medicine because I needed a boost on top of the dieting and exercising. I do not take the medicine on the weekends and I always cut my pill in 1/2 and take 1/2 when I wake up at 6am and the other 1/2 at 2pm after I have eaten lunch, at work. Starting weight 251lbs, current 243lbs(as of 6/18). I will update my progress!

Adipex-P (phentermine) for Weight Loss: My miracle pill! I am 22 and my starting weight was 235lbs. Obviously not a good number. I've have tried every gimmick over the past three years since I had my son and nothing has worked. My mother and aunt both had great results, so I finally convinced my doctor to let me try this. Within my first week I had lost 7lbs, which was more than predicted by my doctor. The following two weeks I lost another 6lbs. it may not be much, but for me its amazing since I haven't been able to lose a single pound in the past three years. No side effects yet(knock on wood), however it really does suppress your appetite. I'm not one to force myself to eat; so I did have one day where my blood sugar dropped very low because I wasn't hungry so I didn't eat for about 9 hrs.

Adipex-P (phentermine) for Weight Loss: 20 years old. Started at 180lbs. Starting taking this with exercise and eating right (I don't go to the gym). Have lost a little over 20 lbs in a month. If you eat right and take this product it will do wonders for you. Want to be about 125lbs my old healthy weight. I will reach there and want to reach that before July 3rd.

Adipex-P (phentermine) for Weight Loss: I witnessed a friend get amazing results from this so I thought I'd give it a try. I started at 199lbs and a month later I am at 181lbs. So lost a total of 18 lbs...not too bad. I haven't had any side effects. Maybe a few headaches when I first started taking the pill but nothing too bad. My appetite has definitely decreased. Normally, I am hungry all the time and never feel satisfied but now I eat a little bit of my meal and I'm pretty much full. I have also lost cravings for chocolate and sweets which is nice. I drink more water than I used to because I often get dry mouth. But now, I'm finding it harder to see the numbers drop on the scale. I go to the gym almost everyday for about 1 1/2 hours. Hopefully, the numbers will start dropping again!
