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 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: 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.

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: 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.

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.

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: 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.

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!

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!

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.

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!
