phentermine: I started using Adipex on 11/7/09. I weighed in at 161lbs. I am going in to the 3rd week and have had an average weight loss of 4 lbs a week. I LOVE this medication. I have always worked out and watched what I ate, but still had problems losing weight. It seems now in the 3rd week that I am not as energetic and the weight is coming off slower. I did have problems sleeping the first few days and dry mouth very bad. The worst side effect for me is acne... I have never had pimples on my face and since I have taken this drug, they are popping up everywhere. I think I will stop when this months supply is gone. I am hoping to lose 20 more lbs, but I don't expect it to all happen right now. I am very satisfied! I haven't been this happy in years!

phentermine: I've been taking Phentermine since Aug 09, for about 3 months now and I've lost 30 lbs. It's helped me lose about 10lbs a month. First two months I didn't exercise with it. This month it has been the first time I exercised with it and it even helps more. Extra lbs come off with exercise, but just taking the pill alone does fine. When I do feel hungry and I start eating I don't eat as much as I think I'm going to. Normally it's a few bites and I'm already full. It also gives me a lot of energy, so not only does this drug help me lose weight but it also helps with my procrastination on everything.

phentermine: I've just started taking this pill and my first week I lost 11.5 pounds my first week! But of course I had to workout. Every morning I would wake up and walk for 30 minutes to an hour and all I've been drinking is water and lots of it! The doctor told me that 99.9% of the people that used it all did good with it so I would recommend it but only if you are serious other then that don't waste your money. I'm one of the laziest people on earth and if I did it I'm sure you can do it too.

Adipex-P (phentermine): I have been on Adipex-P for 1 week now and have lost 5 lbs. I have experienced loss of appetite, dry mouth, headaches, nausea, jitters, loss of memory and have a bad taste in my mouth. I'm pleased with the weight loss but the side effects are bothersome so after I am done with this months supply I'll stop. Starting weight 181 lbs.

phentermine: I have started taking phentermine exactly 20 days ago and so far lost 11.6 pounds. I haven't really exercised though. I have a newborn and go to school part time so I consider myself pretty occupied. I try to eat healthy and eat very small portions about twice a day. My goal is to lose 30 pounds. 28 more to go. Wish you all luck.

phentermine: I started taking phentermine 37.5mg on Sept 3. Weight was 290 lbs at 5'11". On Sept 19, I was 275! I reduced my calories, ate healthy and did 3 days a week of exercise. This is good stuff. If I can do it so can you!

phentermine: I lost 18 pounds in 6 weeks. Exactly the boost I needed. No side effects when discontinuing. First couple of nights I had trouble sleeping through the night, but after 3rd or 4th day I had no trouble sleeping.

phentermine: I started taking phentermine on November 4 and today is my 3rd day. My starting weight is 254lbs. My goal is to lose 100lbs. Since starting I feel like I have so much energy and have been able to keep up with my 4 kids so much easier. The only side effect that I have is a mild headache and a little jittery. I haven't been hungry but force myself to eat because I know the importance of nutrition for your body. This morning I made egg-whites for breakfast and sliced tomato but had to force it down.

phentermine: I have been taking for about 3 days and it has made me kind of edgy or irritable. It hasn't really suppressed my appetite either. I've taken something that was a lot better than this so I am probably spoiled! But I guess it is a good back up. I have a little more energy.

phentermine: This one little pill changed my life. I weighed 208lbs wearing a size 18 and had tried everything to lose weight and just couldn't. My doctor whom I was working for suggested taking phentermine and I'm so glad he did. I was losing an average of 1-2 pounds a day. I lost 65 pounds in 2 months! Now wearing a size 8. I have not taken the pill in the last year and I did not gain any weight back. The only side effect I had was dry mouth. I can handle dry mouth for the results I got from this amazing little pill that changed my life.

phentermine: I have only been on this medication for a week now. I have heard so much great news about this medicine in my area and also know several people who have successfully lost the weight. My weight started at 192lbs and I'm trying to get down to 160lbs. I don't want to be skinny just get rid of the extra weight. It's only been a week and my appetite has dropped drastically. I love the product so far and with exercise and will power I know I will make my goal of 160. And so can all of you. So "lets get thin".

phentermine: Hit my first month today on Phentermine, and was very pleased to weigh in and be down 22 pounds. I have been going to the gym 5 to 6 times a week, plus really trying to eat right, and so far its been worth it. Definitely still need to work for the results, but it is most definitely helping.

phentermine: I started taking Phentermine 37.5 one week ago (10/03/2009) as of this morning I have lost 10.7 lbs in one week. Two weeks before I started the pills I started cutting back on foods and switching to healther choices ( I had a 1 1/2 lb weight loss in 2 weeks just by changing food habits). I eat at minimum 800 calories a day (15 g of protien) to a maximum calorie count of 1000.
I haven't noticed any mood swings or anxiety but I did have difficulty sleeping the first few nights. I didn't develop the dry, cotton mouth side effect until day four.
So far so good, I've got many, many more pounds to go but this has been a great kick start.

Adipex-P (phentermine): I have been on Adipex-P for about 2 weeks and have lost about 7lbs..the only side effects I have is dry mouth, mood swings, and falling asleep at night. Make sure you drink plenty of water! I would rate Adipex a 10.

phentermine: I started taking phentermine for 3 weeks now. I have had a really hard time trying to cut back my bad eating habits. I normally exercise anyways but I was eating to much and bad that I could not lose weight, and as soon as I started this pill I no longer had the lingering feeling of having to eat all the time. I have been taking this pill everyday and I have lost 12 pounds all ready!

phentermine: I started taking this pill in February and ended in May. The only reason I stopped is because my doctor will only prescibe this medicine for short term use. While I was initially skeptical about this being helpful I was really suprised. I have lost 45 lbs since Feb. This drug really helped me get past all the sugar cravings, eat less without feeling hungry and helped with my energy level. I wish it were available over the counter. While I did experience dry mouth, it was a good thing as it encouraged me to drink more water. I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone.

phentermine: I started taking it 9/23/09. I take 1/2 a pill every morning which is 18.75mg. For the first time in a long time I have felt the energy to go out and exercise (which I do an hour everyday. Strength train and Calistenics 3 days a week, the rest I walk). It's wonderful! I only ate/drank 1195 calories and I keep a food diary. When I woke up this morning and weighed myself I saw that I lost 2lbs and 1.2% of my body fat. Only after ONE day of taking it!! My goal is to lose at least 50lbs. I don't really have much problem sleeping, but my lips are very dry. I use a lot of chap stick.

Adipex-P (phentermine): I was taking Adipex for a 1 1/2 months. I lost a total of 18lbs. The only problem I had was acceleration to the heart so I had to stop.

phentermine: I have lost 15 lbs in 3 weeks.. I'm an active person, but over the last few years have not been able to exercise or follow a healthy eating routine. Since starting Adipex, it's given me the motivation to get back into old habits. I don't know that the pill itself does much for the weight loss, but it has given me the energy to care about what I put into my body and care about keeping healthy!

phentermine: I started taking phentermine 0n 06/15/09. I have been taking it every day but weekends. I take 15mg twice a day. When I started I weighed 365lbs. at 5'8" Now it is 09/18/09. Three months. I now weigh 309lbs. I lost 56lbs. I am ecstatic about this. There are some side effects and I think if I stay aware of them it will work fine for me. We'll see what happens. My goal is 200lbs. Hope you all get to your goal weight.

phentermine: There are a LOT of people in this forum that are being extremely unrealistic about how this drug is meant to work. This drug is meant to help you learn new eating habits and get you motivated to lose weight and get healthy. Since 6/1/09, I have lost 23 pounds, and that is due not only to the appetite-suppressing effect of Phentermine, but I hit the gym HARD 4/5 times per week (and I have NEVER been an exerciser), and watch everything that I eat. If you are using Phentermine to simply fast yourself thin, you will have a very hard time keeping it off once you stop the medication. Take this opportunity to learn about nutrition and exercise, and make a permanent change for your health and for YOU!

phentermine: I have been using phentermine since August 28, 2009. My starting weight was 225lbs. As of September 14, 2009 I weighed 212 lbs. I have lost 13 lbs so far through the use of phentermine along with proper dieting and exercise. This is the best thing that has ever happened to me!

phentermine: I STARTED PHENTERMINE SATURDAY 09/05/09 (LABOR DAY WEEKEND). DAY 1 I TOOK THE PILL LEAVING ME WITH A MORNING AND AFTERNOON FULL OF ENERGY AND A LOSS OF APPETITE. DAY 2 I HAD LOTS OF ENERGY AND DIDN'T EAT MY USUAL MEALS. LABOR DAY (MONDAY) I HAD A SMALL APPETITE. I ONLY HAS A PIECE OF STEAK THAT WAS THE SIZE OF MY PALM 2 BITES OF MACARONI AND CHEESE AND 2 BITES OF COLLARDS. DAY 4 I TOOK THE PILL AFTER 10AM SO I WAS SORT OF HUNGRY THROUGHOUT THE DAY. I HAVEN'T WEIGHED MYSELF BUT I FEEL LIKE IT IS WORKING. I WILL KEEP YOU POSTED.

phentermine: This is a very effective drug, but as with any drug, there are side effects. I found the stimulant effect to be a bit overwhelming at first (37.5mg every morning) but your body will adjust. Over a period of weeks you will notice a tolerance as your body gets used to the drug and, in my case, the dosage will need to be adjusted. Along with phentermine, my doctor prescribed a low-dose diuretic (Lasix 10mg), low-dose potassium supplement, and a regular vitamin b12 injection. I was extremely impressed with the overall results, HOWEVER, one needs to keep in mind that the results will ONLY be temporary without a change in lifestyle (i.e., caloric diet restriction and regular exercise).

phentermine: I HAVE BEEN TAKING PHENTERMINE 30MG FOR 3 WEEKS NOW AND I HAVE ALREADY LOST 16 LBS. ITS GREAT. I DO NOT TAKE IT EVERYDAY. NORMALLY I TAKE IT ONLY ABOUT 5 OUT OF THE 7 DAYS. IT GIVES ME GREAT ENERGY, BUT MAKES ME CONSTIPATED! I DO NOT EXERCISE, I ONLY WATCH WHAT I EAT... I LOVE IT

Adipex-P (phentermine): 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!

phentermine: One day I couldn't take my pill because of a saliva test, and was very, very tired and a little depressed. Also, pill leaves very dry mouth, bad taste at times, and also lightheadedness. However, in spite of the side effects, drug works wonderfully in reducing appetite.

phentermine: I have been using phentermine for 2 years now off and on. My doctor will only let me take phentermine for 6 weeks at a time, but it works wonders. I would recommend anyone who needs to lose weight to try it. Before I got a prescription for it, I used to buy phentermine diet pills online. But it sames me a lot of money having an prescription for it. Thanks for this information, glad you are spreading the word about this medicine. Changed my life.

Adipex-P (phentermine): 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.

phentermine: I have been taking Phentermine 37.5 since July 21st. The initial visit I weighed in at a whopping 264.5. I have been using it for 5 weeks now and I weigh 241.5 as of today. So I have loss 23.5 lbs in just a short time. I love the pills and they really control my appetite, and I'm able to watch what I actually eat. I also walk 2 miles a day, 4 days a week. The pill gives me so much energy and I'm able to do a lot more activities with my husband and son. I will surely keep taking the pills until I reach my goal weight of 175.

Adipex-P (phentermine): I started taking Adipex-P 37.5mg on April 1, 2009 and my starting weight was 210lbs. I went back after one month and lost 17lbs. I went back to my Doctor on July 30, 2009 and I weighed 168.5lbs which is a result of losing 41 1/2lbs! I am super excited and can't wait to lose more or at least to get to my goal of at least 135 to 140. The only one complaint I would have about it is the energy level totally disappears after your first or second week.

phentermine: I began on July 21st 2009. At first I had tonnes of energy and that part of it seemed to wear off somewhat or maybe just become more balanced. I have been on the medicine for 3 weeks and as of today have lost 11 lbs. I am very excited. I was hoping to lose 20 in 4 weeks but I am learning that it is not going to come off fast and I just have to be dedicated and work for it. I love the medicine and will definitely stay with it. 30 more lbs to go!

phentermine: I started phentermine at the end of January. I started at 222 pounds. I am 5'4" which gives me a BMI category of Obese. I was skinny in high school 15 years ago but have had two children and haven't exercised like I should have. It is April 23rd, and I have lost 33 pounds so far. I have gone from a size 16 pants to a size 9-10. I do have dry mouth but I keep lifesavers with me and that is enough to take care of it for me. I wish everyone good luck who is starting their journey to a better life and better health.

phentermine: I have been taking this medication with a doctor's supervision for a month now and have lost nearly 20 lbs! This is certainly a kick-start and I feel hopeful, having 80 more to take off. I do feel full and energized while taking it. I still have an appetite, but am able to control it much more successfully. I drink a lot of water and chew sugarless gum to help with the dry mouth issue. I have minimized my carbohydrate/red meat intake and eat much more fruit and veggies. No more diet soda/artificial sweetners. I do use small amounts of raw olive oil for vegetables and salads. I have also found that when dining out, I am now only eating half of the portion. I am a bit more irritable but will deal with it, so happy with the result!

phentermine: This was wonderful for taking my mind off of food, helped reduce the stress of always focusing on what I was eating, calorie intake, and still not losing weight. I found myself having to force myself to eat something, which was a huge contrast from eating because I was bored or stressed. I found I was stressing over food all the time and by the end of the day I didn't want to think about it anymore more so I would just say the heck with it and eat without caring. Now with Phentermine I have the will power with ease and don't even care if I eat and if I do it is a much smaller portion. It is absolutely vital for success that you at least walk 20 minutes five times a week and reduce fried foods and eat more fruit and veggies.

Adipex-P (phentermine): 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.

Adipex-P (phentermine): I don't take this medication for weight loss, I take it to stay focused. I have ADHD and had it for years before it was ever defined, or diagnosed. The nuns tested me out of school, I started college early and graduated. What it does for me is level me out, by that I mean, I can do my job, keep order at my desk and function like a "normal" person. It helps with my impulsive tendencies. I feel more controlled and less agitated, it mellows me out. My job as a legal assistant/paralegal is defined by order and ability to concentrate, this drug has been a miracle for someone like me. I have no side effects and never have while taking it, I sleep whenever I want, I feel great, eat normally. Without this drug I don't know where I'd be.

Adipex-P (phentermine): 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.

phentermine: This medication absolutely works. It suppresses your appetite and sweet cravings. I was a eater who would eat beyond fullness and then feel awful but with this medication you will tend to eat smaller portions and can easily stop after feeling satiated. I've also been getting the Vitamin B12 injections which increases metabolism. I started phentermine 37.5 mg on July 1, 2009 weighing in at 263lbs. 2 weeks later weighed in at 250lbs. My last weigh in was July 29th, I weighed 243lbs. I've opted to eat sugar free snacks, which I cannot tell the difference. Also I've been drinking diet soda's and plenty of water because side effects may include dry mouth and constipation. My doctor recommends 30 minutes of cardio exercises/activities three times a week.

Adipex-P (phentermine): With balanced diet and exercise, I lost 10 pounds within 2 weeks of taking phentermine going from 155lb to being 145. Great medicine for immediate results.

phentermine: I just want to say that this pill works, but you need caution because the side effects occur at long term. Your eyes can get dry and very itchy, your mouth can get dry too. The best way to lose pounds is exercise. But if you want to try this pill I think it's very good and you will lose pounds. Good luck.

phentermine: I was 20 pounds overweight, not much for some but for someone who has never been overweight. It was traumatic. My doctor prescribed phentermine - 1 per day - 30mg capsule - for four days per week only for 12 weeks. I also changed my diet, counted calories, eliminated breads and sweets, and added a different exercise 4 times per week. I lost 15 pounds in 12 weeks. I probably would have lost more but I went on vacation for three weeks during this period. I would recommend this medicine to anyone who only needs to lose a small amount of weight.

Adipex-P (phentermine): I started using another weight loss medicine on March 24th. The first 60 days I lost 22 lbs. During the third month I was not seeing any changes and switched to Adipex-P. I used Adipex for 45 days and have lost an additional 10-12 pounds. I did not experience any of the side effects or jitters except sleeping. I tend to only get 6 hours of sleep a night.

T-Diet (phentermine): Im 25 years old and I have had a weight problem my entire life. For the last 8 years I have lost and gained weight like crazy. My doctor put me on Tdiet 30mg on April 1, 2009 when I hit 292 pounds. I am currently on the 37.5 mg Adipex tablet and I am down to 244 pounds. I feel phenomenal. After learning I had an under active thyroid about a year ago, I had really started to feel like crap everyday and the weight just kept packing on. I feel 16 again and more self-confident. The worst of the side effects were the dry mouth (chew sugar free gum to help), nausea at first (take an antacid), headaches at first, increased anxiety (totally worth it anyway, constipation, and I am easily agitated). Good luck.

phentermine: Saturday July 18th I weighed in at my doctors office at 253 pounds. I started taking Phentermine on Monday 7/20 and today 7/24 I weighed in at 246lbs. This pill has made it very easy for me to control my eating. I stop when I'm full and don't eat out of habit or bordem. The only side effect I have experienced so far is slight headaches, but I have found that if I drink some water the tension goes away immediately. I have been taking it at the same time every morning right before breakfast to make it a routine and behavior modification. I haven't started to exercise yet...that is next weeks mission but I am very excited to see the results and how this drug will get me on the right track to really change my life.

Adipex-P (phentermine): 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.

phentermine: I have been using this since July 17th (last Friday). My starting weight was 181 pounds. And as of today July 20th, I'm 173 pounds. I do workout almost daily so that helps. I was in the Army years ago. I got out when I got married and got pregnant and since then I haven't been able to get back to my old size, that was 2007. So the doctor was more then willing to help me lose weight. So far I love the product. The first day I had dry mouth and a headache. Lately I've just had the headaches and struggling at night to sleep. But I'm kind of used to it being that my two year old likes to sleep with me (husband in Iraq). So I would recommend it to anyone. I'm doing great on it.

phentermine: I started this pill exactly one week ago today (July 13). I weighed in at 315.8 lbs. and I am now 300.2 lbs.! This is a miracle pill. I have limited my calorie intake and started exercising (walking) 6 days a week. I love it.

phentermine: I used this in 2004 and lost 49 lbs. I was 201 lbs at 5'1" you can imagine. My doctor only prescribed it for 3 months, but I was able to "shrink" my stomach enough to continue to lose. Works amazing with exercise. I maintained the loss until I became pregnant with my 3rd child and went up to 168lbs. I am now 155lbs and doctor just prescribed a 3 month supply again. I MUST drop the final 25 pounds and I KNOW this will do it! Yes, I did have dry mouth and slight constipation, but I was not hungry at all! Great medicine if you want help and are willing to do some healthier eating (which will be so easy because you aren't hungry) and exercise (also easy cause you'll be feeling so good about yourself). Good luck!

phentermine: So far I've been on this medicine for 10 days. Pretty impressive as I've lost about 8 lbs already. Cardio is important so I've managed to do it about 7 out of the 10 days. First day I used it I felt as if I could run a marathon. Since then, I've lost the cravings and most of my appetite, but still manage to eat right, and in small portions. This stuff is a God send, really.

phentermine: I have been taking Phentermine only for 3 days now. The first day I took the medication I had some dizziness. After the first day some dry mouth and very little loss of appetite. I do drink about a gallon of water per/day sometimes more and my workouts are excellent "I like to sweat profusely when working out" with this pill I see a good workout. I don't know how much I've lost because I only like to weigh myself every two weeks. When I started I weighed 208lbs. My goal weight is 180 lbs, but the Doctor says she would like me to loose at least 40 lbs. I can't wait to see the weight start falling off. I'm having some slight doubts about this pill. I still crave some sweets but not much. And I do sleep very good.

phentermine: I am 5'10", 43, and *was* 177 lbs. All my adult life, my weight was in the 142-148 range. In my late 30's and early 40's, the lbs crept on due to migraine medicines and it was impossible to lose. I tried everything. I even did a rigorous bootcamp for two months that I had to get up at 4:30am. I only lost 5 lbs. In the past, whenever I would gain a few I would take some Dexatrim for week or 2. Go running. Presto. NOTHING works now that I am over 40. I meant NOTHING until I started taking phentermine. I am now 145 and holding. ALL my clothes fit. Side effects are annoying, but worth putting up with. I am almost embarrassed to say that I haven't worked out even once.

phentermine: This is the second time I've used phentermine. After I had my 3rd child, I used it to drop 20 pounds, and 3 years later, I have gained 10 pounds again, so I used it again. It definitely works, especially with exercise. You just have to take it easy, because your heart rate does seem faster, and drink tons of water. I drink about 4 or 5 bottles of water a day when I take phentermine. I have lost almost 15 pounds in 2 months time - but again, I've been working out 2 times a week lifting light weights and 30 minutes of cardio a week. Great product!

phentermine: I was in a bad car accident about a year ago and now have 15 pieces of implanted metal in my right leg. Because of the strain to my body, my doctors encouraged me to lose weight. I was going to the gym, staying under 1400 calories and going to physical therapy. I didn't drop a single pound.
I've been on the phentermine for 2 and a half months, and I've already lost an AMAZING 60 pounds...40 more, and I'll be where I was supposed to be. I just got my refill and can't wait to see what happens in the next 3 months.

phentermine: This is the Miracle diet pill I have been waiting for. I have tried them ALL - Hoodia, Zantrex, everything you can buy at Walmart, Orovo Detox, etc. This is the only one that actually suppresses my appetite. It does cause dry mouth, but that's fine: I drink lots of water because of it. I am trying to lose my last 10 lbs and maintain the 30lbs I have already lost, and I am only able to do it thanks to phentermine. It kills my cravings for sugar, chocolate and all sweets and gives me focus and energy to get all the things done I normally would never do. I love it. The two negative side effects are insomnia and I get big pimples here and there on my face. IT WORKS.

phentermine: I went to my doctor on June 24th weighing in at 302. I started that Saturday on Phentermine and Topamax together and 6 days later I was down 7 pounds. I am now down to 290. I never really feel hungry, however, I have to eat and as a nurse I know how important it is for your body to receive proper nutrients. I must admit though it is pretty rough at times to eat. I have to force myself most of the time. For all of you out there taking this medicine make sure you are eating. These medicines help and they work but you have to do your part and take care of yourself and eat properly as well. GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU.

phentermine: I was on Adipex for 1 year and lost a lot of weight. Before I started this I was 220lbs. When I was done my weight was 160lbs. I lost more inches then I could believe, I went from a size 22 to a size 14. The medicine works. The only thing I don't like is once I was off the medicine I gained my weight back quick and had a lot of side effects such as depression, moody, cravings, couldn't sleep at night, headaches. I went through the side effects for about 4 months after I was off the pill.

phentermine: I have been using Phentermine for a year now. My regular weight was 186-4lbs maybe and now my weight is 137lbs. I never thought that I could be this small and I love it. I feel wonderful because now I can fit and look in clothes I never thought possible.

phentermine: I have been on this medication once before and lost interest in it because I was not feeling like I had lost weight. I decided I would try it again. I started it on June 13th weighing 359. I weighed myself on June 19th and had lost an amazing 18lbs. My doctors appointment is Saturday and everyone has noticed a big difference in me. I've lost 2 pant sizes, and 1 shirt size. This stuff really does work.

phentermine: I have the dry mouth and headache. The first day it suppressed my appetite but since then my appetite has actually increased. I don't know if it's because I'm about ready to start my period, or if it's because I take pain medication with it. I had lost 1 lb the first day, but none since. I have the 37.5mg tablets. I take 1/2 when I wake up and 1/2 around 2.

Adipex-P (phentermine): On June 1, 2009 I started taking Adipex-P 37.5 MG. I have now lost 15 lbs. Going from 196.2 lbs. down to 181 lbs. I was hoping to lose much more, but I also know that if you lose weight to fast you can put it back on fast. I work out 6 days a week for about 30 to 90 mins. I will be going to Doctors office on Wednesday for check up.

phentermine: I am 25 years of age and my weight has always been an issue. After I had my old son, now 8 months old, I got up to 300 lbs. I didn't want to get any higher. This was the kicker. I want to live a long healthy life and be able to interact with my son as he grows. I started Phentermine 37.5mg on June 10th and by the 24th I have lost 22 lbs. It has been hard I will admit. I've always been an emotional eater, never alcohol or smoking and of course no illegal drug use. Food has been my comfort all my life pretty much. Now I am just trying to find out what to replace that comfort with. I admit I haven't even exercised and I need to do so. I am planning on walking today and I'm going to absolutely have to stick with it. That's going to be the hard part.

phentermine: I have been taking phentermine for 2 weeks now. I was at 246 and now I weigh 238. I think that I am making good progress. I was having bad headaches, dry mouth and a little anxiety at first. So I decided not to take the medicine every day. I take it Monday-Friday and no weekends. I do a bit of walking, but I would like to increase the amount of exercise that I do. I have a goal of 3-4lbs a week. I hope to be down to 215lbs by August. Wish me luck.

phentermine: I went to the doctor on June 23rd and weighed in at 322lbs. I started Phentermine that day and as of this morning I weighed 312. That's 10 pounds in less than a week. I feel great, no problems sleeping and tons of energy. I can't stop chewing gum or drinking water. I have cut out all snacking and soda. I have to force myself to eat. I love this program I am on.

phentermine: I have lost weight on it and just to maintain my weight, I take it every other day. I am on the 30 mg. The first day I will feel some anxiety, but the next day I don't, but still don't feel hungry. It also helps to stop taking it for a week or 2, than start taking it again so you continue to lose weight.
Make sure you are exercising. You don't want to lose so much weight so fast and than end up with a lot of flab/extra skin. This happened to my sister who lost 60 pounds on it.

phentermine: I've been taking Phentermine 15mg twice a day for about a week now and have lost about 7 lbs so far. I do feel the dry mouth, a bit of the jitters, feel like I don't have a full night's rest. The oddest sensation has been anxiety while driving. I didn't see anyone report such a feeling but I've never had any issues behind the wheel ever before. I would like to continue on my goal and will give it another week or so. If anyone has had this occur to them before please share. Good luck to everyone.

Ionamin (phentermine): This medication worked wonders for me. I went from 230lbs in September 2008 to 175lbs in February 2009. When I took it, it just made me almost forget about food. I would sometimes forget about eating until late in the day and just ate because I knew I needed to. The only bad part was that it stopped working before I got to the weight I wanted, but I haven't gained the weight back as of June 2009.

phentermine: On June 11, 2009 I began taking Adipex pills and I have lost 10.8lbs, eight of which came off the first week after using the pill. I work out 2 days/week for 30 to 40 minutes. I am going to increase that to 4-5 times a week. I work nights at a hospital and walk a lot. I feel an energy surge, with sweat rolling down my back. I wear my hair pinned up to keep cool. Yes, my mouth is dry, but that encourages me to drink more water. I take half a pill before breakfast and prior to dinner. Adipex has helped cut my hunger tremendously. After working all night I no longer feel so hungry that I have to stop and eat breakfast or snack on junk food to feel satisfied before I get home. I go home and go to sleep. This gives me a sense of control.

Adipex-P (phentermine): Have been taking Adipex for almost 2 weeks. The first week I did notice an energy surge, but now I'm back to my normal levels. I have no appetite in the morning, a bit of an appetite for lunch, and have to watch what I eat for dinner. I vigorously exercise for 60 minutes 5 times a week. I have lost 10 lbs so far. I am glad for the help with the appetite, but am always contemplating the pros and cons.

I have the dry mouth which makes me drink more water than usual. I thought I would have faster weight loss, but everyone says give it time. I lost about 6 lbs so far. I weigh 149lbs and am 5 6'.

phentermine: I started taking Phentermine in March 2009. So far I have lost 16lbs. Going from 191lbs to 175lbs has already made me feel so much better. I have a challenge from my Doctor to be down 20 more pounds by my next visit in late August. I'm gonna do it. I am very happy that I got introduced to this medicine. I was never able to lose this much weight on my own. For me this drug had some insignificant side effects such as dry mouth and sweating a little more than usual, but these have disappeared with time. I have been stuck at 175lbs for quite a few weeks, because I need to step it up with the exercise. I am so excited for the future because this time I know that I'm gonna make it.

phentermine: I started taking this medicine on June 10th, 2009. It is now June 19th and I have lost 5 1/2 pounds. This is not the first time I have taken this medicine. I took it 7 years ago and lost 60 pounds in 10 months. Never had a problem with it. It was the only thing that worked for me after several attempts to lose weight on other programs with no success. The main reason why I like this medication is because it curbs my appetite and I don't feel hungry as much and I don't have the cravings I used to have. I feel like I'm in control. A word of advice - I am noticing this time around, if you have any problems with pinched nerves such as pain and discomfort, this medication will increase that pain and discomfort.

phentermine: I started using Phentermine 37.5 just two days ago and I love it. I started at 5'6", 224lbs. This morning I weighed myself and I'm already down to 219lbs. I am hoping to lose about 50-70 pounds at least. I do get the dry mouth that others have said, but I don't have the energy boost, I do however have to pee like every 30-60 minutes I think it's because of the amount of water I'm drinking now.

Adipex-P (phentermine): I have always been a petite size person. In December 2008 I was 9 pounds from my goal. Due to emotional stress, I have gained around 25 pounds since then. After series of medical test and no answer, I started taking Adipex on May 29. The second day on it I cleaned my bathroom for 6 HOURS. I haven't had that kind of energy in years. But here is my problem: hunger and cravings? They are gone. Energy? Better than before my kids were born. The weight? Still there. I lost maybe 2-3 pounds. I watched what little I eat and I am more active.

phentermine: I started takeing Adipex in April of 2009 at 253 pounds. I have lost a total of 45 pounds. It works great, I have so much energy, I walk two miles everyday except for Sunday. My doctor brags on me all the time about my success. I am going to keep losing until I lose 100 pounds. The pill really does work and I eat what I want, just small portions and no soda at all just water. Good luck! Hope it works for you.

phentermine: I started taking this in April 09 2009 and its June 11 2009. I have lost 18 lbs ... its awesome. The only thing is I have bad constipation but that can be fixed. I do exercise 3 x a week and I do eat healthy but treat myself once in awhile. I recommend to anyone who wants to lose weight and keep it off.

phentermine: I took my first phentermine this morning, a 37.5mg tablet. I got the dry mouth later in the day, but still felt some hunger pangs. I probably haven't eaten as much as I should have today either. I've noticed a little more energy, but still took a short nap at 4:30 PM. That's probably because I felt motivated today and walked 1 mile, then later on rode my bike for 11 miles, which really wore me out.
My weight yesterday was 316lbs an all time high. I'm looking forward to becoming much lighter. I should be around 175 pounds. I have a long way to go.

phentermine: I started the medication on 5/28/09 and its now June 9th. I have lost 6 lbs in eleven days. I am happy with the medication and it definitely helps with the appetite. However, you do have to exercise and watch what you eat. I don't have those sweet cravings now. I have had little to know side effects. I really haven't noticed having extra energy but do have dry mouth. I chew sugarless gum and drink plenty of water.

phentermine: Gained 80lbs due to disabling injury and several surgeries and lack of inactivity. Have been on phentermine for 1 week. Had headache first two days, no other side effects except only sleep about 4 hours a night but feel rested. Anyway I've lost 10lbs so far. You do have to eat because if I don't make myself I wont. Have energy but not nervous, have high blood pressure (under control with medicines for years) no affect on it at all so far but keep it checked daily.

phentermine: Pros: Not too much stomach discomfort, even with an ulcer and irritable bowel syndrome, alters your craving for food - instead of fries, it's fruit. I've lost 82 pounds so far, with only 20 to go.
Cons: It alters your cravings, not sheds the weight for you. It must accompany a change in lifestyle. I had trouble with increased heart rate and I'm in my 20's with no heart problems. I was even unable to donate blood because the rate was too high. This stabilizes every time I go off the medicine. It also can make me restless. When my husband and I were both on it, we fought like crazy all the time. I thought I was crazy, but each time we would stop taking it, the fighting would decrease.

phentermine: I was very athletic and fit which helped me stay slim most of my life but after college I got an office job and sat at a desk all day. I needed a second job and ended up working from 7am to 10pm everyday. This made me eat as much as possible on my half hour lunch break and also left no time for exercise. I gained nearly 50lbs in the first few months of my jobs and became very depressed. I started phentermine a month ago and so far have lost 27lbs I now have energy to workout at least a little every day, I eat fruit and veggies in small portions throughout the day and do a quick run on my lunch break.

phentermine: I started Phentermine 6 months ago and I have lost over 50 lbs. I was 222 lbs when I started and I am now 168 lbs. I exercised about 3X a week up until a few weeks ago. That really speeds up the weight loss - a pound a day was a normal loss. My husband who weighed 330 lbs, started in January and has lost over 70lbs with eating right and walking on the treadmill 4X a week. Cravings are virtually gone and you have to remind yourself to eat. You want to drink tons of water because you are always thirsty. My concern is how I am going to be when I stop the drug which will be at the end of this current bottle. I hope to keep losing and not let myself go above a 5 lb gain. I never want to be the "fat girl" again.

phentermine: This medicine will work. I have 4 children and needed to take off the pounds, which very hard to do when working and caring for your family. This medicine helped me in many ways but a controlled and well balanced diet and light exercise is key to keeping the weight off. Moderations/motivation is best and an old picture to remind you of what lerks around the corner.

phentermine: I was referred to a weight loss doctor from a friend of mine. I had lost 50 pounds 10 years ago on Fastin so I was all for taking Adipex. Don't get me wrong I have tried every diet in the book with no luck, so I chose this path. He prescribed me Adipex, with the help of it suppressing my appetite I completely cut out all my snacking (which was my biggest weakness) and cut out soda and starting eating right. I have been on it for a little over a month now and have lost around 25 pounds. I have not noticed any side effects. I also did not have any energy a lot of people told me would happen while taking Adipex, but I'm not worried about it. I'm very happy with the results so far, and looking forward to the future with it.

phentermine: I started taking it on May 8 2009 and I went in for my first weigh in on May 19th and I lost 12 pounds. So far it has been working for me. I started at 317lbs and now as of May 23 I am 300lbs so I have lost 17 pounds total. The only thing about it that I don't really like is that my mouth gets dry, which I guess is kind of good because then you have to drink lots of water. So far I like it and it's working for me.

phentermine: I have been on phentermine for a month and love it. The only side effects are dry mouth, lack of sleep and slight constipation. I did notice that after 2 weeks of being on it I did not have as much energy as I had in the first 2 weeks. I decided to take it Monday through Thursday and then start up Monday again. That seems to work better for me. I am down 14 lbs in one month and I am so excited, 40lbs away from my goal.Yeah.

Adipex-P (phentermine): I started taking Adipex 2 weeks ago. I weighed in at 232 lbs. As of today I weigh 222 lbs. So I've lost 10 lbs in 2 weeks. I tried taking Alli in January along with the Special K diet and exercise and lost maybe 5 lbs. I am so excited about Adipex. It has helped me cut my portions down. I still eat normal food, just not as much. I have to force myself to eat. So far the only side effects I've had is dry mouth, but that has helped me drink lots of water. I've also had a little constipation. I have stopped drinking Coke. I have had some, but I don't have the desire to drink it. If I get a coke from somewhere I only have like 3 sips out of it and end up throwing it out. I love Adipex.

phentermine: I started phentermine about 3 weeks ago and lost 10 lbs so far but may be more and definitely the inches are gone, but starting yesterday I started experiencing some chest pains and shortness of breath and its like a little pressure sitting on my chest/lungs. My doctor appointment is not until Tuesday but I will stop for now. I hate that because these pills do work, I have more energy, eating way less. I was just hungry all the time for no reason and it was hard for me to lose weight, exercising daily. My mom uses them and she hasn't had any side effects. She has lost 21 lbs so far. So my doctor may take me off, so if that%u2019s the case I will definitely have to buckle down and stay focused to lose the weight. Good Luck to everyone else.

phentermine: I just wanted to let everyone know that if you have been taking it for a while (a month or more), be careful about moving to quickly after being still for long periods of time or standing up to quickly. If you stand up to quick, sometimes your eyes will get tunnel vision and then start to go all black. I have been taking phentermine off and on for several years. I use it as necessary for a little while and then I get off. If you do not keep up with your diet you will gain the weight back plus some, maybe double. If used appropriately, it will work wonders and can help you reach your goals, but don%u2019t over do it. Know your limit.

Drink nothing but water even when dinning out and exercise at least 2-3 hours a day. I'm trying to stop the pills I now take one every other day. It's good to also keep a food journal.

phentermine: I've been using Phentermine for 3 months now. My doctor gave me a 30 day supply, but I still haven't finished it. I take it every other day, or every 2 days. Before I took the pills I weighed 238lbs. I just had a baby in January (3rd child), and I wanted to take the pills to help me lose the weight. I went in last month for an appointment and I'm down to 194lbs. So, it does work. But sometimes I get headaches, or I get very tired, and need to take a 30 minute nap and that's why I take it every other day.

phentermine: I started taking phentermine 37.5mg on May 5 and I have changed the way I eat but mainly just portion control and no sodas and a lot of water. I don't eat after 8pm and I have lost 6 lbs so far. However I am not experiencing the energy or the appetite suppressing that everyone says. I seem to still feel hungry even after I take the pill. I'm not going to give up - I will give it at least 3 weeks.

phentermine: I have been taking phentermine for about 6 weeks. I have lost 10lbs, but it is not the "miracle drug" I had heard some people claim. I definitely have dry mouth which is making me drink a lot more water and I also suck on mints a lot. My biggest concern is shortness of breath. I haven't seen anyone else mention this. I am going to try a lower dose to see if that helps.

phentermine: I have taken this medication from time to time for many years with wonderfully positive results. For me, it completely eliminates my appetite which can be a problem if you aren't careful. I strongly recommend this medication for people who are serious about controlling their weight but who also understand that simply taking a pill is not the answer for anything. Beware of becoming dehydrated. Do not interpret the 'slight buzz' as a sign of feeling better. This medicine increases your metabolism, thus, more energy. I keep strict records of how long I allow myself to take it. And because it can be habit forming, I 'prepare' myself before I take a break from it. If you have drug or alcohol issues this medicine may not be appropriate for you.

Adipex-P (phentermine): I started taking Adipex exactly a month ago. I have never had so much energy in my life. I have now decided to jog to work instead of the usual drive. My office is 35 miles from my home, but it is no problem whatsoever. I think I have lost a total of 9 lbs, and I am planning to lose much more. This medicine definitely works. I would recommend having a few gallons of water with you at all times as you can become dehydrated if you are not constantly drinking. I am considering a full time IV of water.

phentermine: I started taking phentermine on October 18, 2008. At that time, I weighed in at 263 lbs. I'm 5'10 so I carry weight very well. As of my weigh in yesterday (April 30, 2009) I've lost 41 lbs. The only side effect that I've had to deal with is insomnia; but over time, that has gotten easier to deal with. I'd recommend this medication; however, I would also stress that the weight you put on wasn't put on overnight and therefore, won't come off overnight. Slow and steady wins the race.

phentermine: I started taking phentermine and lost 12lbs my 1st week. I also am on a 1200 calorie diet taking green tea extract, cinnamon and apple cider vinegar supplements for a boost in metabolism. Working great so far.

phentermine: I started taking Adipex a week ago today. It has made me eat half of what I used to. I love the way it makes me think about what I am putting in my mouth. I have had the dry mouth and sleepiness at night side effects. In the last few days I have started experiencing severe blurred vision. I was just wondering if any one else has had this problem. By the way I lost 5 lbs the first week.

phentermine: I have been taking Phentermine on and off since February 2009. I am 5' 3" and I weighed 169 pounds. Immediately I had great results. I had tons of energy and was extremely happy. I wouldn't take them on the weekends but would continue to eat sensibly. The pill made me actually crave water and looking at food was like looking at a pile of rocks. I actually was worried that I wouldn't want to ever eat again. I eat 2 apples in the morning and snack on walnuts/craisins during the day and then I eat a meal at night. So far, I have lost 19 pounds. I would like to know if anyone is having a clinched jaw, red eyes that seem to have a slight jabbing feeling to them? I'm not sure if it's my late nights/stress or side effects from Phentermine.

phentermine: I am on week four and have zero side effects. The first three days I was a bit jittery, but that's it. I have tons more energy and have stopped craving carbohydrates and alcohol. I eat much smaller, healthier portions and am exercising more. I have not experienced the drastic weight loss others have, but so far it seems to be steady. I was down 4 lbs after two weeks. I'm hoping for more weight loss at my weigh in this week.

phentermine: I took Adipex 4 years ago and lost about 30 lbs. I just started taking it again. I am getting married in October and need to lose 30 lbs. Today is day 4 and I have lost 3 lbs. I do have some side effects, dry mouth, which is good because I drink lots of water. Headaches, which I just learn to deal with because the weight lost is more important and sometimes I get a nervous feeling. I would recommend this drug if someone needs to lose weight.

phentermine: Started on these at the end March. Lost 10lbs in the first three weeks, not a great deal, but I only have 2 1/2 stones to lose. Had no appetite in the first week but it has returned a little in 2nd and 3rd week. Not that much though and I'm eating much healthier. However,just weighed myself this morning, at the end of my 4th week and I'm gutted to find I've only lost 1 lb. Although I did have a little bit of chocolate egg and haven't had the chance to go on my wii fit as I usually do nearly every day. Now I'm wondering whether I should stop the tablets for a couple of days to kick start them again. As I have read that others have done this. Only thing is I had headaches for first three days when I started them and don't want a repeat of that.

phentermine: I took Adipex 2 years ago. I lost 15 pounds then gained it back plus some over this time. Now I am trying the phentermine 30 mg. I'm on my 4th day plus I am taking chromium too. I have lost 5 pounds. The doctor told me to take 2 a day. I was skeptical. Don't really like taking 2 so I'm going to cut back to one a day. Have to make myself eat. I have cut out caffeine and sweets. I am not a healthy eater so my main goal is portion control and not eating late at night which is a habit. I don't really like the side effects but when I took Adipex I was fine after the first week so I hope this is the same.

Adipex-P (phentermine): I started taking Adipex-P June 2008, I was 193 lbs (F- 5'3"), today I weigh 158 lbs.
At first I didn't really like the side effects, dry mouth, constipation, couldn't sleep, really bad headaches, so I went back to my doctor about a week after starting the pill. I had lost 10 lbs, I didn't want to stop. The doctor suggested I cut the pills in 1/2 and to try to eat and drink more often, comes out that it worked for me. I would take a 30 day supply, cut the pills in 1/2, and I don't do weekends, after that 30 day supply was done, I get off the pill for a month...make sure I don't just regain the weight. Oh, and I don't exercise or eat healthy, I just watch how much I'm eating. Also No soda.

Adipex-P (phentermine): I started a diet exactly 32 days ago. I went completely cold turkey, no soda, no sugar, sweets, or fast food. I worked out on my WII every night for the first week and got bored. Then I got a gym membership and I work out 1-1.5 hours every night. I ate almost every 2-3 hours fruits and veggies. I lost 15.4 pounds the first month on my own. I had a follow up with my doctor and asked him about Adipex. He seemed pleased with my question and wrote me a prescription for 30 days. I have now been on the pill for 3 days only, I went from eating 5-6 times a day and drinking 4-5 bottles of water and my 1-1.5 hour workout to now drinking 6-8 bottles a day. Already lost 4 lbs!

Adipex-P (phentermine): I have been on Adipex for 3 weeks now and the only changes I have noticed in me and my body is that I have horrible cotton mouth and I am extremely constipated. I have maybe lost 1 lb since I started taking this medicine. I am extremely disappointed in this medicine it has done nothing for me.

phentermine: April 16, 2009. I have been taking phentermine for a month. When I first started to take this pill I weighed 220lbs and today I weighed in at 200lbs. This pill is the best working diet pill I have tried and I am only taking a phentermine 15.7mg. If you really want to lose weight try this pill. The only side effect I had was cotton mouth but it doesn't bother at all.

phentermine: I took this pill some years back and didn't like the effects. Fast heartbeat and feeling like I was always high, dry mouth. Now in 2009 I needed something to jump start my weight loss. So I went to a weight loss clinic the first day I had a headache. I dont get excess energy but I have no side effects. I'm just hungry now but I eat 3 small meals a day and went from 209lbs to 187lbs as weighed yesterday. I exercise daily and drink nothing but water.

phentermine: I am 5'2 and 210lbs as of yesterday. I have been taking Phentermine 15mg for 30 days only. Today is my 2nd day and I have only experienced dry mouth and a little more energy. I have read that people have a lot more energy and don't think about eating. Well yesterday I took the 1st pill at 5.55am and I was hungry by 10.30am and sleepy again by 12noon. I tried taking a nap around 7 but couldn't get to sleep. Went to bed around 11.30pm slept fine. I am hoping to lose 65lbs but I will settle for 55lbs. I just wish the doctor would have started me on a higher dosage. I am drinking a lot of water and I plan on working out on the Wiifit for 1 hour a day. I will write back in 2 weeks if I lose any weight.

phentermine: I started taking phentermine the second week of March, I weighed 196lbs, and am 5ft7. In a month I have lost 24 pounds, I weighed 172lbs this morning. I have never felt so good in my life. I walk about 3 miles a day, and only drink diet soda, I don't eat very much. I usually eat celery, yogurt, and veggies. I do get a lot of headaches, but to me it is worth it. This pill has motivated me to set goals for myself and to get in shape, like I said I feel great about myself now. The boyfriend is so jealous, because I am shrinking away. I take my pill about 8am, the earlier the better or else you will never go to bed. If you are looking for fast weight loss take it, but you also need to exercise and learn to eat right.

phentermine: I started taking it on March 17th and was weighed in at 178lbs. Since I am only 5 foot tall you would say I was rather large. I just went for my 3 week check up and have lost 8 pounds. The only side effects have been sleeplessness and dry mouth, which in turn was a good thing. Now I drink lots of water and before I didn't drink any water. This stuff really works. I would recommend it to anyone who has a weight problem.

phentermine: I started taking these pills about two years ago. At first it really jump started my weight loss. I weighed 195lbs to begin with and within a few months I ended up at 170lbs. There were a few side effects though. It gives you awful cotton mouth, moodiness, headaches and insomnia. I would stay awake for days at a time. After the initial weight loss, I guess my body built up a tolerance and it stopped working for me. I gained back all of the weight and more. It is a great motivator, but it really does come down to diet and exercise if you really want to keep it off.

Ionamin (phentermine): This product was awesome. I went from 192 lbs in September of 2005 to 138lbs in January of 2006 without any form of exercise. I was working 2 jobs and it gave me more energy than anything else I've ever tried. Some days I would have to force myself to eat something because I just wasn't hungry.
Then, they took the stuff of the market (in Canada at least). Neither I nor my doctor can get it anywhere. I didn't have ANY side effects other than losing ugly fat.
Bring this stuff back! I know plenty of people who tried this and ALL loved it with great results. Since being off Ionamin, I'm back at 174 lbs. There is nothing on the market like Ionamin. Please bring it back.

phentermine: I started taking this medicine in 10/2008 (1 pill a day in the beginning/2 pills a day in the end). I weighed 240 lbs (male) and had been stuck here for 2 months following a 20 lb weight loss. This medicine saved my life. I took it from 10/2008 until 03/2009. I now weigh 182 lbs. I learned portion control and the right way to eat. The medicine helped give me energy which helped me learn how to exercise. I had a few side effects in the beginning. I was constipated for the first month or so. I had to pee a lot. I suffered from dry mouth and had a hard time sleeping for the first couple of weeks. These symptoms all went away after about 3 or 4 weeks. I stuck with it and am glad I did. Stopping the pills was no problem for me.

Adipex-P (phentermine): 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.

phentermine: I've taken this pill on and off for a year. I too had dry mouth and restlessness along with aggressiveness but I ran across a solution to rid myself from all of the above. I take Calm which is magnesium and is all natural. It is good for all of the above symptoms including constipation. I use the powder form and it states you can use as much as you like to get the desired results.

Adipex-P (phentermine): I started using Adipex on March 31. Today is April 2nd. I used to drink at LEAST 2 cups of coffee a day. I haven't thought about or needed coffee at all since I've been taking Adipex. I was a chronic pusher-of-the-snooze-button 20 times every morning. Now, I wake up feeling refreshed and energized. The dry mouth? I personally think it's the best part. I'm drinking a liter of water a day. I don't think I drank a liter of water the entire year of 2008. I haven't weighed myself yet. I'm trying to hold off as long as possible but I can say that my face has gotten a lot thinner. So if I haven't lost any weight I know its coming.

Adipex-P (phentermine): 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.

Adipex-P (phentermine): Awesome. It really works with little to no side effects. The worst that happened was in the first 2-3 days I had the "feeling restless or aggressive" symptom and the extremely dry mouth. After that, I was fine.

Adipex-P (phentermine): 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.

phentermine: I started taking Phentermine because I was obese and had high blood pressure. In a matter of 3 weeks I lost 19 lbs and still losing. I took 1 pill in the morning at about 9 and munched on pork rinds. For lunch I ate a can of soup or similar food that was about 150 calories. I drank sobe 0 calorie vitamin drink and ate a normal size meal for supper. I was not hungry and my blood pressure has dropped. I feel wonderful. No side effects at all.

phentermine: I started out at 208lbs and have been doing a limbo for the past year never going past 203lbs in weight loss. This is with crazy workouts at the gym, an all liquid diet until I get sick, the works. So my doctor prescribed Adipex for me. Well, the first day I took it, and a few hours later, being Saturday, I wanted to take a nap. So I lay down for 20 minutes and then got a huge spell of energy. That night, no sleep whatsoever. In fact, I got up at 6:30am out of boredom and rearranged the living room furniture. Side effects were cotton mouth, a few jitters and weird dreams. Got to sleep after the second night, but have dropped 8 pounds so far. I hope it keeps going. My goal is 150lbs.

phentermine: I started taking Phentermine last summer to increase my energy and as a nice side effect to lose weight. I was walking (fast) 3 miles everyday. I was on oral diabetes medicction. Through the exercise I lowered my choloesterol 41 points, got off the diabetes medicines and lost 9lbs. Phentermine did decrease my appetite, but didn't help me lose weight. I ate EXTREMELY healthy, watching carbs, calories, etc. The side effects were horrible constipation, I would drink HUGE amounts of water everyday and still had extreme DRY mouth and skin. Phentermine did increase my energy, sometimes feeling very jittery, especially at first, finding myself wired and only sleeping 3-4 hours a night. NOT WORTH THE SIDE EFFECTS FOR ME.

phentermine: This pill is a miracle. I started taking Phentermine 37.5 January 23, 2009. I went for my follw up I had lost 13lbs by March 6th. I work out daily and eat small portions throughout the day. I havent had any problems with taking the medicine. The only problem I have had recently is nausea. Your appetite really is gone. You have to make yourself eat. If you don't you will put all of your weight back on. I have lost several inches. I went from a size 16 to a size 12. I'm happy and good luck to everyone. There is hope.

phentermine: I've been taking phentermine since January. I wanted my health back on track so my doctor recommended this drug. I have been working out 4 times a week for an hour. I was 260lbs and am now 212lbs. Doctor still wants me to get down to at least 170lbs so he can take my off some of my medicines and keep me in maintenance program for about 9 months. I drink lots of water, count my calories and exercise. No complaints, just happy my health is much better.

phentermine: I started taking Phentermine 6 weeks ago. I have only lost 6 lbs. However, I feel like I'm on an emotional roller-coaster and I'm not sure if it is because of the medication. Some days I just want to cry for no reason at all. It also makes me sleepy. Not jittery. I have always had trouble sleeping so I can't say it has caused my insomnia. It does make you not hungry though. I have to remind myself to eat. Sex drive seems to be disappearing too.

phentermine: Started taking Adipex a week ago. Cut out all caffiene, sugar, and alcohol. I've been working out as well. I have not lost one pound. Very frustrating. I take half of a 37.5 tablet. Just left message with my doctor maybe taking the whole tablet will help. Just need to lose the last 20 pounds. One good thing my energy is up which is confusing why I can't lose the weight.

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.

Lately I've been using phentermine every other day just to 'maintain' but a good suggestion for those at the point were their scale number won't seem to budge any further, stop taking pill for 3-5 days. You'll drop weight quickly once you restart again. My only side effects are dry mouth and occasional jitters.

Adipex-P (phentermine): I took Adipex for 8 months and lost about 20 pounds. I just started taking it again and am down an additional 12 pounds. I am very thankful for this medication for I feel like it's given me the life I've always dreamed of.
The only side effects I've ever felt are: dry mouth, insomnia and I was depressed when I stopped taking the drug.
My results have outweighed the side effects on all counts. I strongly recommend this medication to anyone who is interested in losing weight.

phentermine: I started on February 6 and today is March 5 and when I started I weighed 197lbs. I am now 173lbs, of course I have been exercising like crazy. I walk 3x a week for 4 miles on a track. Other days I get on my treadmill or stairmaster and I do squats everyday to firm up the loose skin from the weight loss. I can honestly say this is a miracle pill. The only thing is that I have problems sleeping. I have not had a good nights sleep since I started taking them and my skin has been breaking out. I only drink water but sometimes I get an urge for some juice or half a soda just for the thrill. I eat fruit all throughout the day and maybe 2x week I will eat a meal for dinner but I still don't eat much of that. I just crave real food.

MY DOCTOR MADE ME DROP 15 lbs BEFORE SHE GAVE ME THE PRESCRIPTION DUE TO THE FACT WHEN YOU STOP TAKING THE PILL IF YOU DO NOT HAVE GOOD EATING HABITS YOU WILL GAIN YOUR WEIGHT BACK AND SOME. THE FIRST THREE DAYS I DID NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT FOOD BUT I AM STARTING TO FEEL LIKE I WANT TO EAT AGAIN. I HAVE BEEN FEELING DIZZY SOME PARTS OF THE DAY. I AM GOING TO GIVE THIS THE 30 DAY TRIAL BUT I AM PRAYING IT WORKS.

phentermine: I started phentermine on February 13th. I started at 230lbs and now weigh 204lbs. This pill is a miracle for me. I've had six children and the last was a c-section and at 28yrs old I just couldn't lose the weight. My goal is to get to 150lbs, what I weighed before all the children. A note to everyone the pill won't do it all by itself. At some point you will need to exercise and start watching what you eat. After the first day I've had no side effects except for dry mouth.

phentermine: I started out taking the generic of Adipex but I didn't stick with the guidelines the doctor gave me (quit your pop, exercise) so I only lost about 5 pounds in the month I took it. I also kept forgetting to take the pill but I'm going again tomorrow with my mom to try again. But on a positive proof story, my aunt lost about 28 lbs. in her first month and has lost at least sixty pounds since September or August of 2008. However, she never quit her pop and didn't exercise until recently. How on earth did she lose all that weight??? I'm quitting soda until I reach my goal weight, and then I'll drink it only in moderation. I've also gotten a head start on watchng what I eat, by cutting out fried things and packing my lunch for school.

phentermine: I was really over-weight when younger at 185 pounds. I dropped down to 140 pounds on my own with working out and eating healthy. At 26 years I went up recently to about 150 lbs and could not lose the weight again. I started taking phentermine 30mg on 2/10/09 and have already lost 10 lbs. First I thought it might be excess water weight. Either way it really helps you think about what you are eating and how much. You get full faster too. Clothes fit better already. I have a hard time sleeping as it is, but I don't think the pill made it worse, just get really thirsty and dry mouth, however, at least drinking a lot of water is good for you. I didn't get the high energy everyone is talking about, but my sister did.

Adipex-P (phentermine): 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.

phentermine: I agree this product will make you drop the pounds. I took it a few years ago to lose weight after having a baby. In 6 weeks I lost 17 lbs. I have gained that wieght back plus more. I've decided to try it again. I have so much energy I can't sit still. The down side is I can't concentrate. I'm very moody. I can't fall asleep for at least an hour after going to bed. Sometimes I can feel my heart beating to fast. If I don't start showing serious weight loss I may stop taking it because of all the side effects.

Adipex-P (phentermine): 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!

phentermine: I've been using phentermine to lose the remainder of my baby weight. It's been 2 weeks and I have lost 14lbs I do exercise and already eat right but after I lost the first 50lbs, I turned to this for a plateau breaker it broke my plateau and its helping me get back within navy standards with nothing to worry about. I recommend this to anyone who fully understands the effects of this controlled drug and has a very good understanding of healthy eating and the importance of exercise. Please note that this is a temporary medication - it is not meant to be used past a 12 week period during this time you are supposed to learn how to make healthier lifestyle choices.

Adipex-P (phentermine): 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.

phentermine: I have been trying lose weight since I had my son two years ago. I worked out with no results. I have been taking Adipex for two and a half weeks and I have lost 13 lbs. I had a big burst of energy the first day I took Adipex, but could not sleep that night. The next day I did not have any side effects or burst of energy. The only problem I still have is the dry mouth. This has been a miracle drug.

Adipex-P (phentermine): In the last year I put on 30lbs going to 207lbs. I have been on Adipex on and off for about 6 weeks. The first 2 weeks I lost 15lbs with diet and exercise, going to 189lbs. I had to stop for a week because I had major constipation. I gained 2lbs back. When I started back with 4 prunes nightly, I have lost another 4lbs. I think the week break helped to get the weight loss started again.

phentermine: I am 41 years old and have been taking phentermine as of September 2, 2008 to December 20, 2008. I have lost 35 pounds. It has been a huge blessing in my life. I went from a size 20 pants and 2x or 3x tops to a size 10 pants and from large to medium tops. It is awesome. It has been a great experience but be sure to see a doctor before taking this medication. The side effects I experienced were dry mouth (I chewed sugar-free gum all of the time and drank lots of water) and constipation. It seems to get better after being on the pill for awhile. Energy (treadmill 5 to 6 times a week and get this - I love it). I'm taking a three week break right now. I'll let you know how it goes. Good luck.

phentermine: I am a 38-year-old mother of 2 and weighed 241 pounds and started using phentermine on August 12. I was extremely unhappy with my appearance AND my health. I had high blood pressure and always felt tired. I see my doctor every month and can't wait to be weighed in. Today I weigh 194 lbs - and plan to continue to lose another 35 or so at least. My blood pressure has dropped to normal levels and I've begun a regular exercise program. I've had to buy all new clothes and I even started to exercise with the dream of fitting into a bikini by summer 2009. My family is amazed and I receive comments every day about how great I look now. I went from a 20W to my current size 14. Size 8 here I come!

phentermine: I am a registered nurse and I have been taking phentermine for 6 weeks. My goal was to lose 28-30 pounds in 3 months. Instead, I have lost 21 pounds in about 6 weeks! I am convinced that the 'drug' has been a huge help in getting me over the hump, getting started on weight loss. However, I realize that food choices have to become a lifestyle change that I will live with, or the weight loss will reverse. I do not intend to continue with the drug after the current month. I hope that by eliminating the empty calories (simple sugars, starches, etc) from my diet, I will be able to maintain a healthy weight for the long term. Its important to keep protein snacks on hand to prevent hunger during the day, and to keep up my metabolism.

phentermine: I took phentermine for a month and lost 28lbs. IN A MONTH!! Talk about killing your appetite. My family was getting worried because I never wanted to eat. I had to remind myself to eat at 6:00. I told them not to worry because this is what I wanted (to not sit around and think about food all day). People are talking calories this and work-out that, but on phentermine, you automatically exercise because you have this amazing amount of energy that just keeps you going and keeping your mind off of food. It works and I love it.

phentermine: I love Phentermine. I started taking it in January of 2006 (losing weight was my New Year's Resolution). I took it off and on that whole year, and began working out. I lost 70 pounds, and now, two years later, I've kept it off without using it. Love it.

phentermine: I've been taking Phentermine for 2 weeks. For about one month before that I was taking Bontril (Phendimetrazine). I liked the Bontril but it didn't curb my appetite as well as Phentermine does. I try to stick to 1100 cals/day but I do some calorie cycling now and that way I'll go above 1100 so my body doesn't think it's being starved long-term. I hope that will help prevent a rapid gain when I go off the medicines.
Since starting these various medications I've lost about 11 pounds (from 200 to 189 as of this morning). The Tanita scale at the clinic indicates that my water composition has remained about the same while fat percentage has decreased and muscle mass has increased. And I'm not even exercising, so that's pretty cool.

phentermine: This is my 2nd time taking this and the first time I lost 15 lbs in the first month and couldn't loose anything else. Now with my second time I have lost 8 lbs in two weeks. It is true it works better to take it for a 3 week period then a break for a week or 2. I eat 4 x 400 calorie meals a day and excerise 3-5 days a week.

phentermine: I started taking phentermine 5 days ago, and have lost 7 pounds. As several others have mentioned, I also have constipation. I think its simply because I am eating 1/5 of what I was eating prior to taking the pill. I am sleeping fine, however, I do sleep less. I have more energy and am a bit irritable.

phentermine: I love this medicine. It has no side effects and after a week or two you WILL lose weight. The only thing I will say is that you should take it for 3 weeks on and then one or two weeks off. Once you quit and start back, it is just like when you began. It is a miracle drug.

phentermine: I am a 25 year old mother of 2. I first weighed in at 227 lbs as of November 5th. Now I weigh 209 lbs. I do recommend it but don't allow yourself to believe others stories. Generally you will lose one pound or three pounds a WEEK not 15 or 10. Don't go out to eat all the time.

phentermine: I started this supplement October 29th. The first few days were a little rough for me. I had bad headaches, dizziness, nausea, and low energy. I worked out some kinks. I have to be sure I don%u2019t take the medicine on an empty stomach. I usually have a protein bar just before time to take it or just after. The Nausea, headaches and dizziness have subsided and my energy is picking up. I have not weighed in yet but I feel confident that I have lost some weight. This is a good program; I have known several people that have successfully lost weight with it. Just hang in there, the first week may be a little rough but it will get better. Also I have not had any trouble sleeping at night and I feel fabulous in the mornings. I have not overslept since starting the medicine and that is normally a daily thing for me.

phentermine: I've been on Phentermine for 3 weeks now. I started off weighing 231 lbs. Now, I'm down to 214 lbs. I've not experienced the side effects reported. I have an active job which zaps my energy, which may be why my sleeping habits have not changed. However, I can say that I've been more productive at work, and on the weekends, I have about a 2 mile jog's worth of energy to burn.

phentermine: I've been on this for 4 weeks and have dropped 14 pounds. I am so happy. The worst side effect for me has been the dry mouth. I've been chewing a lot of sugar-free gum. It's worth it to me, though. It has suppressed my appetite. The world doesn't revolve around me stuffing my face now. I have more energy to take the dogs out for walks. Just can't see me dragging all this weight around for the rest of my natural days.

Adipex-P (phentermine): 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 get full pretty quickly. I am teaching myself how to eat so that I won't gain the weight back. I have had some insomnia. I also get a weird taste in my mouth. I've noticed an increase in energy.

phentermine: I have been taking Phentermine since 09/18/08 at 191 pounds. Honestly, I haven't weighed in yet, but I feel terrific. My energy level is way high. I'm a 40 year old college professor, and have been used to taking naps before working at night (I would always be grumpy if I missed my naps). Since I'm now on phentermine, I am a more positive person, alert, super-alert. I hate washing dishes, pots, and now I have so much energy and willingness to be more in the kitchen and cleaning. I sit with my son to help him with his homework. Now I find time to do stuff instead of "relaxing" or "recharging" my batteries in my bed. This pill is amazing. It has changed my lifestyle so far. I do have some difficulty sleeping and dry mouth, but it's great.

Adipex-P (phentermine): 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.

phentermine: I took this medicine about 3 years ago and I went from 230 lbs and then at the end of the 3rd month I weighed 140 lbs. I was so excited that I had lost the extra 90 lbs that I had been carrying around since 6th grade that I had better self esteem more confidence in myself and became a stronger person in general. Then In 2007 I went through a nasty divorce and I gained all the weight back. I'm 219 lbs now. I am going to get back on the medicine because I know that it works. I highly recommend this diet pill.

Adipex-P (phentermine): 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.

Phentride (phentermine): I am 5'3" and have Chronic Fatigue and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and both of these caused me to gain up to 175 pounds. I have tried everything to lose weight and none helped. I started taking phentermine 4-2008 and I have gone from a size 12 to a size 9/10 in 2 months. It does give you a little energy boost, I noticed I wasn't craving sweets anymore and I wasn't binge eating. The phentermine gave me control over what I eat and when. I now make healthier choices, because I want to be healthy. There have been days that I would forget to eat, that is how strong phentermine is. At first I had a hard time with the side effects of headaches, stomach pain and dizziness, so I only took a 1/2 of pill. Good Luck.

(phentermine): I have been taking Adipex for 2 weeks. Starting weight of 185 lbs and I have lost 8 lbs. I walk 30 minutes in the morning and 45 minutes in the afternoon 7 days per week. It really has decreased my appetite. I eat a healthy breakfast, cut back on my portion size for lunch and supper and eat nothing past 6:00 pm. I have not craved sweets and some food does not even appeal to me. I want to lose a total of 50 lbs. I do worry if I will gain the weight back once I stop taking the medicine.

phentermine: I started taking Adipex 2 weeks ago yesterday and I went for my weekly weigh in and I am down a total of 8 pounds. I was told if I can get through the first week I would be fine. Well the insomnia was killer the first. I wasn't even getting to sleep until around 3:30 or 4:00 a.m. and then getting up at 7 or 8. Things are much better now. I am in bed around midnight which is normal for me. I love how it boost my energy. You can eat off my floors, my house is so clean. I have not had any other side effects. Here's hoping to even more success....

My last doctors visit was Friday July 25 and so far I have lost a total of 36.5 lbs. This pill is great but it helps you become stronger towards the problem and if you exercise you have a better chance of not gaining all the weight back. The doctor told me that patients generally lose about 14 lbs the first month 12 the second and about 8 the third.

(phentermine): Adipex-P really works as an appetite suppressant/metabolism booster. I really loved the energy. I've used it several times over the last 12 years and have found that the weight gradually returns when you stop using it. You have to permanently change your eating habits and add daily serious exercise to sustain any loss.

phentermine: I am a 5'4" 42 year old woman who was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in 2000 and went from 130 lbs to 164 lbs overnight. I've been trying to lose the weight with a nutritionist and through exercise. I even ran and trained for a 1/2 marathon in 2006 and 2007. The lowest I could ever get was 150 lbs and if I quit running long distances, the weight comes back. I started taking phentermine on July 2 and have lost about 10 pounds. My only side effects are extreme thirst and occasional anxiousness.

phentermine: I have been on this drug since June 1, 2008. There were two weeks I had to stop taking it, so to date (7/17/08) I have been taking it for a month. I have lost 17 lbs as of today. I have tried everything, but this is the first time that I finally feel like I am in control. It is easy to say no now to junk food. And I get full very quickly. I have not changed my diet yet, just portions. My next step is to start exercising more regularly and start on a healthy meal plan.

phentermine: I'm a 26 year old female and I started taking this medicine along with a fluid pill on 01/25/08. At my heaviest weighing 317 lbs, I tried everything under the sun and lost maybe 10 lbs maximum here and there, but it always came right back. When I began this medication I weighed 308 lbs. Its 07/16/08 I weigh 218 lbs. That's a 90 lb loss from the date I started and 99 lbs since my heaviest. I do excerise for around an hour several times a week.

phentermine: I have been on Phentermine since 4/8/08 and have lost 47 lbs. It is really is a miracle drug. The energy it gives has changed my life- I am a new person. The appetite suppressent is amazing- I changed my eating habits and the food I eat. I started at 247 lbs and am now 200 lbs- the lowest in the past 5 years. I can't say enough about this drug.

(phentermine): I started May 26th and at my one month weigh in I had already lost 20 lbs and that is with no real exercise. I will weigh in again in less than 2 weeks but I know I have lost an additional 10 lbs. I have had none of the side effects. I love the idea of not wanting to eat. I love this medication. I still have 100 lbs to go but if everyone is right on how this drug works I should be there by February.

phentermine: I started taking Phentermine on 06/25/08. I am 5 foot tall and weighed in at 174 lbs, today I weighed in at 166 lbs. I lost 8 lbs in 2 weeks with limited exercise. This diet pill is GREAT, nothing like I have taken in the past. I have no hungry spells during the day and some days I have to force myself to even eat. It gives me a boost of energy that is needed to keep up with my 2 year old little girl. I also have the energy to start training for a 5K race.

phentermine: I HAVE TAKEN ADIPEX NOW FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS, AND I MUST SAY THAT IT IS a MIRACLE DRUG. I STARTED AT 305 LBS AND ALREADY I HAVE LOST 14 LBS. I ALSO FOUND THAT THE EARLIER THE PILL IS TAKEN, THE BETTER THE EFFECTS. I USUALLY TAKE MINE ON THE WAY TO WORK, WHICH IS ABOUT 5:30 AM. BY THE TIME I ARRIVE AT WORK, I AM FULLY ENERGIZED AND PREPARED FOR WHATEVER THE DAY HAS TO BRING.

phentermine: I am 5ft 4" and weighed 186.4 lbs when I started taking this 3 weeks ago. To date I have lost a total of 14 lbs. Just to let you know I also do light exercise about 2-3 times a week and I have changed my eating habits to center around proteins which also keep you full as well as the pills. I do eat out like 1-2 times a week and still get whatever I want but I immediately wrap up 1/2 my food for the next meal or next day and if I go to a fast food place I get a happy meal instead of a regular meal.

(phentermine): I started out at 200lbs and within two months went down to 170lbs. During the 3rd month I went down to 162lbs. I feel somewhat stuck at this point with the weight loss going much slower. I do however notice a big appetite change when I take the pill and don't. The insomnia goes away in a week or two. The earlier you take it the better. It's by far my miracle drug. I love the extra energy to help keep up with the kids and house work. I should have started this years ago.

phentermine: I am oveweight. I have gone up and down with my weight for years. I used this medication 10 years ago when I lost a quick 60 lbs. I felt great and had energy like never before. I started going to the gym and within a few weeks found out I was pregnant. Well my daughter is now 7. I am heavier now than before I got pregnant. 100 lbs heavier. I was borderline diebetic so I am taking this medicine again so I can spend fun time with my daughter and not become diabetic. I love it.

BUT IN THE PAST YEAR I HAVE GAINED BACK 15 LBS. SO I MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO SEE MY DOCTOR. I LOVE THIS MIRACLE PILL.

phentermine: Through diet I was able to slowly lose about 35 pounds over about 8 months. When I hit a plateau and was not losing any more, I started this medicine- and eventually had enough energy and motivation to start exercising again. I have lost over 60 pounds in the last 7 months and am getting ready to wean off of it - I have no ill effects while taking it.

(phentermine): Adipex-P (Phentermine) is awesome. Not only does it take the hunger away, it boosts energy. I've been on Adipex-P and went from 196 to 135 lbs in 4 months, with only 30 minutes of exercise 5 days a week, plus the significantly reduced diet that this pill allows. It made losing weight easy.

phentermine: I started taking phentermine on March 14th at 335lbs. Today June 16th, I weigh 308lbs. The pill is great for supressing your apppetite. When I first started taking the pill, I had to make myself eat because I felt no desire for food all day long. I pretty much eat whatever I want and still lose weight. I believe that the lack of desire has caused a change in my portions that has been the main difference. I suffer from insomnia and anxiety but it could be because I have a lot of job stress lately.

(phentermine): I started taking Adipex 3/6/08, I was 182 lbs. By 6/3/08, I was down to 152 lbs. 30 lb loss is great. I have 7 lbs to go. The program is great, if you follow your diet plan and stay hydrated. 200cal.for breakfast at 7am, 350cal. lunch at 12pm, and 450cal. for dinner at 6pm absolutely no snacking in between. My only problem was constipation. Suddenly ceasing the medicine may cause side effects. Overall I love Adipex. Love it, Love it, Love it!

(phentermine): I've been using adipex for exactly two weeks and have lost two inches around my waste. I weighed 172 lbs when I started. I have not yet checked my weight because I don't want to discourage myself. I'm only going to check my weight at my monthly doctor's visits.

Fastin (phentermine): Phentermine has worked very well for me and my own personal situation. I was formerly anorexic/bulimic with a habit of severe calorie restriction, phentermine has worked amazingly. My metabolism went into hibernation after 5 yrs of damage & I gained 180lbs post rehab. By taking phentermine daily, I have the metabolism of a nomal 22 year old girl. I lost 30lbs/90 days initially. Now I'm losing 30lbs/month. Occasional moments of feeling weird/adrenaline rush is worth it.

Adipex-P (phentermine): 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.

phentermine: Out of all the diet pills I have tried, phentermine has been the best yet. I have been on it for two weeks now and have lost 18 lbs. I weighed in at 194 lbsmand now am 176 lbs. I have energy now that can last me for days, I always feeling like running or doing something extremely active. I've noticed that I'm not as hungry as I used to be. My goal is to lose 50 pounds before or by September of 2008. I believe that I can reach this goal way before that time comes, if I keep it up.

Adipex-P (phentermine): 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.

phentermine: I have been taking phentermine for 3 weeks, and have lost 10-15 lbs. It has increased my energy level substantially. I went off of it for 3 days and saw a little bit of a difference with my appetite and energy, but also had tubal ligation during that period. I have not noticed any side effect last longer than a few days. Great appetite suppresant.

phentermine: After 2 years of very slowly losing pounds to reduce blood pressure,doc prescribed this drug.I reached my half-way weight loss goal(13lbs) after a month taking it daily.I stopped taking it and kept exercising and gained about 4lbs back.Doctor advised I keep routine and take drug for 2-3 days if I gain a few pounds. This drug was extremely encouraging after being stuck in a weight loss rut.Drink tons of water,you do not want to dehydrate on this! Be very aware of mood changes and addiction.

(phentermine): I started Adipex in 2006 weighing in at 215lbs and used it for 2 months, got down to 185lbs, which is less 30 lbs. I stopped taking it and gained 15lbs, give or take. I started it again 2 days ago at 196lbs and weighed in today at 189lbs. The positive thing is I crave water, and since I am never hungry I eat healthy because I don't want to eat anything.

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.

phentermine: I have been taking this for over 1 year every day. I love it!
Pros.
I went from 289 to 175 that is like 115 lbs lost!!!!
I feel so much better about myself and my apprearance!
I have never had so much energy and been so productive in my life!
Cons.
You really wake up several times in the middle of the night, so you do not sleep enough but you get use to it.
Exercise is very important along with changing your eating habits.
The first few days your are kinda in a dreamlike state.

The weight is coming off real well but my concern is the weight is coming off too fast. The pill is great. Overall my goal is 170 lbs I will be there in about 2 weeks if the weight keeps coming off like this - I will update!

phentermine: When I started taking Phentermine I weighed 183 lbs. Within 4 months I got down to 148. It is crucial that you take the time while on Phentermine to change your life style. Learn to cook healthy meals...work with a nutritionist, and a personal trainer if you can swing it. Change needs to come from within you!

It has helped me control my cravings, so that I don't feel hungry anymore.

phentermine: I have been on Phentermine for 1 month and as of Feb 27 I have lost 15lbs. One of things I have really come to realize is that Phen will curb your appetite but it is VITAL that you learn how to eat properly and incorporate exercise into your daily routine. Not only will this speed up your weight loss whilst on Phen developing good habits is the only way to maintain your new weight once you finish.

phentermine: While this medication may seem useful & effective in the beginning, be careful. I've been taking this medication off & on for approx 10 years. I've found the longer I'm on the medication, the more addicted (mentally & physically) I am to it. I love the energetic, invincible feeling that it gives me in the beginning, however, I've found that I am more irritable & moody now too. I have gotten to the point where I feel I can't function without it, although it's lost its suppressant effect.

phentermine: I have been using phentermine for approximately 6 weeks and have lost 15 pounds. Although the product is working great. I have experience severe constipation with phentermine. Even with drinking a lot of water and a high fiber diet. My dr. has had to prescribe a laxitive for me. I guess you have to take the bad with the good. Or like me, I gave up phentermine and have been working on losing weight without diet medication.
