Can someone tell me what an appropriate dosage for Adipex is and if they get it by perscription or off the net? Thanks

Most important fact about Adipex-P(if this is what your using)
Be sure to use Adipex-P only as directed. It will lose its effect after a few weeks, and should be discontinued when this happens. If you try to boost its effectiveness by increasing the dose, you will run the risk of serious side effects and dependence on the drug.(drugs.com)

The dose of Adipex-P® (phentermine) that your healthcare provider prescribes will vary depending on a number of factors, including:

How you respond to the drug
The particular Adipex-P product
Other medical conditions you may have
Other medications you may currently be taking.

As is always the case, do not adjust your Adipex-P dose unless your healthcare provider specifically instructs you to do so.


Adipex Dosing for Weight Loss
The recommended Adipex-P dose for weight loss is 37.5 mg once daily in the morning. Some people may be able to take a lower dose, such as Adipex-P 18.75 mg once daily (half a tablet). This lower strength cannot be obtained using the capsule form (since the capsules cannot be accurately split in two). Also, if necessary, your healthcare provider may recommend taking half of an Adipex-P tablet twice a day to control your appetite (although this increases the risk of insomnia).


Take Adipex-P before breakfast or up to 2 hours after breakfast. Tablets can be broken in half, if necessary.

Take Ionamin before breakfast or 10 to 14 hours before you go to bed. Ionamin capsules should be swallowed whole.

--If you miss a dose...

Skip the missed dose completely; then take the next dose at the regularly scheduled time.
