User Reviews for Phentermine

Adipex-P (phentermine): 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.

Adipex-P (phentermine): I have been taking Adipex-P 37.5 mg for 8 months and I am happy to say that I have gone from a 26/28W to a size 16/18 and lost 100lbs to date. It works. But, I changed my eating habits, I eat healthy and maintain exercise. Adipex was what I needed to find motivation to get off the couch and enjoy life again. My blood pressure is down, my cholesterol is down, and I am no longer about to be a diabetic! A happy and healthier me!

Adipex-P (phentermine): 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.

Adipex-P (phentermine): 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.

Adipex-P (phentermine): 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): I was on a treatment plan of care for Obesity to also high blood pressure. I dropped a total of 27 pounds in two months while taking the medication Adipex 37.5 mg. I did not have any side effects. I was able to reach my goal.

Adipex-P (phentermine): 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!

phentermine: Weighed in at 218lbs (35 BMI). I started out with Wii-Fit workout 2-30 minute sessions or 60 minutes aerobics 5 days weekly [work up to it] if you hit a plateau, then increase by 10 minutes. Eat 300 calories breakfast, 200 calortie snack 300 lunch 200 snack, 300 dinner. Space meals by 2-1/2 to 3 hours. Use fingers. With Phentermine 37.5 you'll have to remind yourself to eat, I logged it into my cell phone calendar. No bottle/canned juices or sodas. Nothing 3 hours before sleeping. Most important limit sugars, starches AND GLUTEN. Set up a pitcher of water in the morning (I add 2 propel packets) to track your water intake. Keep chapstick in your pocket for dry lips. These simple steps and I'm 45 lbs lighter in 70 days. GOOD LUCK!

Zantryl (phentermine): Out of desperation I tried this medication - not really believing that it would work. Much to my amazement it did work. I have, by the grace of God, lost 60 pounds and am able to wear my old clothes. I feel great and am healthier than I ever. My cholesterol level and blood pressure are under control and I have gone from wearing a size 14 to a size 4!

Adipex-P (phentermine): I started this medication for weight loss on 01/15/10 and Today is 02/14/10 I am a female, age 22 and started out at 227lbs and I am down to 210lbs. That's 17 lbs. The first day I took this medication I could not believe my lack of interest in food. However, the first 2 days on this medication I had a horrible headache, bad taste in my mouth, and extreme dry mouth. Symptoms DID go away after 2 days, so that was the good part. I exercise about 2 days a week, at this time. I would suggest to team up with your Dr with this so he can keep an eye on your blood pressure, wt loss, heart rate, etc. This medication has started to wear off recently but my eating habits are on the right track. Other than that, this medication is amazing!

Adipex-P (phentermine): 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.

phentermine: I have been taking Adipex for about a month and a half now. I started out at 6'3" 280lb with a BMI of 33% fat. At my one month check up I had already lost 17 lbs, and in the last two weeks an additional 8 more lbs. I do walk 3 times a week, but I also eat a lot of the same foods that I did before. The amount that it takes for me to be full has greatly decreased. I recommend Adipex for anyone who has a hard time beginning the weight loss process.

Adipex-P (phentermine): 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.

phentermine: Over the past 7 months I have taken phentermine 5 of those months and in this time frame I have lost 85 lbs. I would definitely recommend this medication. It did wonders for me!

Adipex-P (phentermine): 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.

phentermine: I posted a couple months ago about how Adipex helped me lose 33lbs at the time. I started in February 2009 and with exercise and reducing my caloric intake to about 1500 calories I have now lost 90 lbs. However it is not all due to Adipex as I was only prescribed 2 months supply and it has been 8 months since I started my journey! The main goal for the drug is to help you kick start your weight loss. It is not meant to be taken for extended periods of time as it can be habit forming. When I was on Adipex, I didn't take it every day. It was more like every other day, and just half a pill! I started out powerwalking 1 mile every other day and gradually increased as I felt the need and now I jog 2 miles non-stop!

phentermine: Ok, I took pictures of Wk0 and Wk1 and can see a big difference. That first week I had energy for days and could feel the pounds dropping off. Well, I'm into Wk2 and the energy has gone and the pounds don't seem to be dropping any more. I'm not gaining or having overwhelming hunger urges, but it seems to have fizzled a bit. I may call and see if I can up the dose to twice a day. Still not weighing in, waiting till I go back to the doctor's. No real side effects either. I hadn't done my 30 a day either so that will help. I'll keep you posted.

Adipex-P (phentermine): Adipex is a very strong weight loss aid. An ex of mine took it with great results. Although if not taken as prescribed (late in the day), you will not sleep. It curbs your appetite sometimes she didn't even eat. As any medicine, it will affect each person differently.

phentermine: I just wanted to let you know how this medication has helped me lose weight. I started taking this medication 4 months ago and have lost 30 pounds. Besides taking the medication, I am also eating healthier and doing a little bit of exercise. In the morning when I wake up I take 1 pill, 1 hour later I have breakfast, for lunch at 11:30 I have a light lunch, and I eat dinner by 5 pm. I will have healthy snacks in between meals. I want to lose 30 more pounds. This medication has made me more alert, especially at work. Gives me more energy. The only thing negative has been the dry mouth, but its not too bad because then you are forced to drink more water, which is good!

phentermine: Hello fellow subscribers, I am a new member and I wanted to respond to the obesity treatment of the phentermine 37.5. I do agree it is a wonderful helper for us that are battling the weight/obesity war. I am happy that I do have a helper in the the will power area, especially when the craving become super monsterous. I started this treatment on April 2009 at 586lbs and now I am at the weight of 461 lbs. This pill is not a magic fat burner and it will not bring results overnight, but it will help one to feel mentally stronger and more in control, with less stress of falling off the weight wagon. Helpful advice: I lost the majority by drinking protein shakes for breakfast, salad for lunch and shake before bed, and one in between. Rough!

phentermine: You will lose pounds using this drug. This is a controlled substance here in the United States. I looked great when I lost 15 pounds using this medication - I give it 2 thumbs up!

phentermine: I just started the pill (phentermine 37.50) a week ago. I love that I don't feel hungry. I don't have any side effects other than a dry mouth. I do have high blood pressure and my pressure has been fine. I take it first thing in the morning so that it won't keep me up at night. I started at 200lbs and I am 5'7" and now I am 192.5 pounds, a loss of 7.5lbs in 1 week. I do work out about 4 times a week and I just started to eat more salads and I still do eat pizza once in a while. My appetite has really decreased and sometime I have to make myself eat. I still drink red wine twice a week. I am trying to reach 140lbs. I will continue to post to this site. I drink water all the time but I need to anyway.

phentermine: I"ve lost 30lbs in 4 1/2 months! Drink lots of water and eat right! it's amazing!

phentermine: First let me say I'm heartbroken that Metabolife 356 was taken off the market. That was the only thing that had ever helped me lose weight. I lost 80 pounds in 6 months exercising 3x per week. Always had tons of energy. I started taking Adipex(phentermine) at the suggestion of a friend who said it would give me similar results. She was right! It gives me energy and curbs my appetite tremendously. My biggest problem of running to vending machine at 3pm everyday is non-existent now. I started at 262lbs and I'm down to 226lbs (with no exercise yet). I have a long road ahead but I'm well on my way. This medicine also seemed to reduce swelling in my legs and feet (or maybe the weight loss helped). I do notice the dry mouth and very dry/brittle hair.

phentermine: I started taking Adipex on July 28 weighing in at 303 at 6"0 I lost 15 pounds my first month now into my 9th week I have lost 11 more pounds total of 26 pounds at 8 weeks (last time I weighed). I have found that it really works good for me - I just need to exercise more. I will continue to take it my goal is to lose 100 pounds and I WILL DO IT.
