"I took Phentermine for 3 months and lost about 60 lbs. My doctor changed my prescription to Lomaira and I ended up having severe gas pains as well as no weight loss. I have been taking it 3xs a day for 2 months with no weight loss results."

"After a number of painful experiences, I was skeptical about the benefits of Lomaira. Anyways, I decided to follow my doctor’s prescription and give it a try. I am so glad it works for me! No side effects and it works well for my weight loss. I’ll continue taking Lomaira for a while and will share my feedback here."

"I'm a 47 year old mom of 2. I was always fit but after I had my youngest at 40 I just couldn't get off the weight and it kept coming. I did Noom twice. Beach body. You name it. But after the first 5 lbs I wouldn't lose anymore. Then l tried Lomaira. Started at 162.3 and my goal is a healthy bmi for my height which is like 145. Its been almost 3 month and Ive lost 12 lbs effortlessly and am 150 now. No side effects. Its amazing. I started out with 4 mg a day, then 8 and Im still on just the one pill a day. I hope to continue another 3 months to lose another 12 but I realize I may need another pill to get there. It has been so helpful. I feel great. Healthier. More energy but still sleep. No palpitations. Give it a try!!"

"I'm a 6'2" 47 year old overweight female. Like everyone else that is overweight, I have tried everything on the market! I started using Lomaira 2 weeks ago after my Dr recommended it to me. Previously on PHENTERMINE 37.5 MG TABLET, she thought maybe it would help to curb my appetite since I take these 3 times per day. Problem #1 it made me super constipated! I ended up in at the hospital last week with severe stomach pain. My X-ray showed my colon was packed full. Problem #2 It kept me wide awake at night!! I would try and go to bed around 8-9 pm, and would be back out of bed by 10 and wide awake until 4am..complete insomnia! Problem #3 it never curbed my appetite, in fact I ate worse taking Lomaira than with the Phentermine. Weight loss pills aren't for me I guess! Good Luck to everyone that is having success with this drug! I envy you!"

"I tried to lose weight with diet and exercise for years. Doctor first put me on an expensive medication and it worked but I didn't want to pay $200 a month! doc told me about lomaira and how it could be used to target eating in the afternoon and reduce my exposure to too much medicine. So far so good. No bad side effects and my appetite is definitely lower. I'm taking one tablet in the morning and a second before lunch."

"I have to lose 45 lbs before I can be approved for weight loss surgery. Dr. wanted me on Adipex, but I was very hesitant because every time I took over the counter weigh loss meds I have chest pains and elevated heart rate. After explaining my worry, she decided to start me on Lomaira. My weight tends to flucutate so badly, but I started the pills Saturday morning 4-28-18. Today, 5-1-18 I have now lost 4lbs. I do NOT have more energy. However, I'm never hungry. I only eat when my belly rumbles and becomes slightly upset (telling me to eat even though my head is telling me I am not hungry) which is roughly twice a day and when I do eat it's nowhere near what I used to. And I haven't had 1 side effect whatsoever. Hoping to shed the 40 pounds by next month."

"This product has worked really well for me. I have no side effects and tons of energy. I have been able to stay on track with what my nutritionist has suggested for the first time. I can actually control what I eat. I am getting closer and closer to the BMI my doctors said I need to get to to be healthy. It is going to be a long journey, but I have tried everything before this and nothing worked. This is the first time I have seen results and I am sticking with it. Its been 6 weeks so far and I hopeful that this will help me reach my final goal weight."

"I started on Lomaira about a month ago and I've lost 25 lbs about 10% of my body weight. Ive been dieting and doing light exercise. I don't have any side effects and I take the full dose 3x a day. Hopefully I will continue to lose weight. Price isn't too bad and way cheaper than anything else my doctor recommended."

"* EDIT last entry didn't include score I've been on Lomaira for about 8 weeks and have had success. My doctor first put me on 37.5 mg generic phentermine, but I couldn't stop sweating and it was giving me anxiety. I was definitely eating less, but I hated the feeling. My doctor told me a new weight loss medication was now available that was more targeted to evening when I tend to over eat after work. It's definitely a bit more expensive. I'm paying $29/month and the generic was about $18/month. I prefer the brand and I like starting on this low dose. You can go all the way up to 24mg with this so I will probably stay on lomaira for a while. I've lost about 18 lbs in 2 months. I don't like drugs so I'm happy to use less phentermine"

"Started Lomaira yesterday 10/17/2019. My starting weight is 268lb. My dr put me on it until I can get approval for weight loss surgery. So far, I have way more energy and my appetite is definitely suppressed. Only side effect I have so far is my skin is crawling. I told my hubby and he suggested I not drink any coffee as it sounds like I am taking in too much caffeine. I love coffee!! I am also very sensitive to caffeine, so last night (my first night) I drank a hot cup of chamomile tea to relax me for bed. I was awake longer than I usually am, so maybe I will take my last dose earlier in the day. I am hopeful that this medicine will provide weight loss!"

"I have been taking Lomaira for about a month. I had gastric sleeve done a year ago and needed a boost in my weight loss so my doctor prescribed Lomaira combined with Topiramate. I have lost 10 pounds in a month! Some side effect I have noticed is dry mouth and some dizziness at times if I’m not eating correctly. I also can’t sleep in as much as I would like to, I can only get about 7 to 8 hours which is still good. I do take my blood pressure every day an hour or two after I take the medication to be safe. Be prepared for potential pushback from your pharmacist, I had a pharmacist who wouldn’t fill the prescription because he felt it was unsafe. This of course with his own personal opinion, many other pharmacists are fine as this drug has been around for 60 years. Good luck!"

"I started taking this medication on 6/27/21 it's been 10 weeks and I've lost 14lbs. I'm 5'3 and started at 184 and now I'm 170. At first I had some side effects and would take short breaks. I'm now back to using it daily. Either one 4mg tablet or 1 2x a day. I'm not longer having side effects and will continue using it."

"Started out 392lb on 7/21/2017 and I'm 6'2. So far I don't think its doing a good job. I feel energetic but my appetite is still ferocious. Insomnia isn't a problem. Will update when I reach my first full week."

"Taking 8 mg one a day. I’ve been using it for 6 months. I have lost 35 lbs. No side effects other than diarrhea when I first started it. Now I’ve hit a plateau. I still have bouts of bloaty saggy skin especially around the middle and upper arms. It goes away for a couple of weeks then comes back, usually putting lbs back on. Has anyone else had extra weight keep coming back?"

"This is my second day taking Lomaira 8 mg and Topiramate 50 mg at night, I don’t feel like the Lomaira help me to get up, either the Topiramate dose is too high or Loraima too low. I need to talk to my doctor."
