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: I have used phentermine in the past. I lost around 34lbs in a month and a half. It was awesome. I am about to start taking it again. I can't wait. It is the only thing that can help me in losing weight.

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.

Adipex P (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.

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

phentermine: I've been using adipex for a week now and it really works.
Normally I would eat snacks and top of snacks but with it you really have to make yourself eat. The first two days I had a headache and I can not sleep past 2:30 am. I'm walking and doing a lot around my home.

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.

phentermine: I have been taking this pill since April 21, 2008 when I weighed myself in at 191 lbs. On April 23rd I weighed in at 187.4 lbs and today on the 25th I weigh in at 184.7 lbs. 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!

Fastin (phentermine): When I started taking this medicine in December along with Metformin and Simvastin I lost 66 lbs. I started at 306lbs and now I weigh 240lbs. I am unsure if the drug is having any effect on me any longer - I will know when I see my doctor again. Perhaps I am just at a wall for the time being. Anyhow I think it works great.

I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT DIET PILLS AND THIS IS THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS WORKED FOR ME. I LOVE IT!!! THE ONLY THING IS WHEN YOU STOP TAKING IT YOU NEED TO MAINTAIN THE SAME EATING HABITS AND STAY ACTIVE. I STOPPED TAKING IT AND WENT BACK TO EATING WHATEVER I WANTED AND NO EXERCISE AND I GAINED IT ALL BACK. I AM NOW BACK ON IT. THIS IS DAY 7 AND I HAVE ALREADY LOST 4 POUNDS!

Adipex P (phentermine): I found if I took 1/2 a tablet in the morning and 1/2 before lunch it reduced side effects some what. Works well with reducing appetite.

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!

phentermine: I have been taking phentremine for 2 weeks now and in the first week I lost 9 1/2 lbs. I absolutely love this pill. It has helped me control my cravings, so that I don't feel hungry anymore. I am also on a diet plan, where I eat no bread, rice,crackers,potatoes,carrots,brown rice,tortillas, pita...etc. Basically anything that has a lot of starch. I have energy and feel really happy, I have been doing squats and lunges, although this week I have slacked, but I have been faithful to my diet.

phentermine: I must say that I saw a HUGE difference in the first 2 weeks. I lost about 11 pounds, was never hungry, and felt like I had the energy to run a marathon daily. Insomnia for about 3-4 days, but that went away. I'm also off caffeine and sleeping pills!

phentermine: I've been taking phentermine for about 5 weeks and I've lost 13 pounds. It has been great for me. I have lots of energy.I combined walking with the medication the first couple of weeks and that was when I lost the most weight. I see now that you get better results with exercise.

phentermine: I just recently started taking this med. My goal is to lose 60lbs. I have lost 5 in the 4 days of taking it. It really gives me an energy burst and that is something that I have not felt in a while, and the only side affect I am feeling is the insomnia and hope that goes away soon.

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: I have been taking phentermine for a year now and i luv it. It takes away your desire for food and gives you energy. I would definetly recommend this drug to anyone. I have to say there is one side effect that i have noticed and that is you become very moody on it.

phentermine: I have been on Phentermine for just a little over a month and have lost over 20 pounds. I feel great and have had no sleep problems at all. Phentermine has helped me to reconstruct my diet into a healthy one. I have also started a daily excercise program. I am extremely happy with the drug and would highly suggest it to anyone.

phentermine: Ive been on Phentermine for one month now, and already I've lost 10 lbs, but I still eat, just not as much as I used to. when I started I weighed 130, I know I know, "your not fat" but even the thin people have problem areas, and thats what I want to get rid of. Im always on my feet I work 3 jobs. In the month that I have taken them, not once have I not been able to fall asleep, I have felt pretty moody though.If I dont take it I wake up with a pounding head ech.

phentermine: I first took phentermine after nursing my son for 2 years I lost 28 poubds in 3 weeks. Yes I know not healthy at all but I could'nt eat no matter how hard I tried. I had too much energy. I was realy anxious and nervous all the time. After 3 weeks The medication no longer supressed my appatite but because I could'nt eat for the 3 weeks my stomache had shrank & I'Ve been able to maintain my 130 pound weight for 2 years.

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.

Adipex P (phentermine): I really enjoyed the first few days of quick weight loss but by the fourth day I was having a very difficult time sleeping past 3 am. I tried melantonin at 10 gm and it didn't work. I fell asleep quickly but wasn't able to stay asleep past 3.

phentermine: I have been using phentermine for approx. 3 months and I've lost 42 lbs. I look and feel a lot better, and am working on losing another 40. I watch my diet and exercise. I take a day off every once in awhile and have whatever I want, but I make sure to get right back on track the next day. Pentermine is not a miracle pill, you still have to work at changing your lifestyle.

phentermine: Not only did phentermine help me with my headaches too. It also made me feel a whole lot better bout myself after losing 51lbs in 6mos. I get ask alot, how did I get to look this good. "Walkin and phentermine, it's a great diet pill." I will use it again in the near future to reach my goal, from 253lb to 202 weight as of now (160 is my goal). Im really pleased with this diet pill.

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.

phentermine: I have been on phentermine since August, so far I have lost 23lbs. I went from being 234 to 211. I haven't weighed that for about 10 years. I walk a mile every day when wealther permits and I have been watching what I eat. I also keep a food diary, that really helps.

phentermine: I have used phentermine periodically over the past year. It controls my carb cravings, while no other over the counter diet pill even comes close. It also seems to prevent migraines that I have suffered with since I was 11 years old. I am grateful for this drug and hope it continues to be made available.
