I've been using Phentremine for about 2 weeks. For the past week, I am taking 2 capsules every day around noon - about 30 to 60 minutes before lunch. I lost 11 lbs. in the past week. It really does eliminate your appetite and desire to eat food. When I do eat meals, I find myself eating maybe 1/4 to 1/2 of a regular serving. I fill up very quickly. The downside is that I do have to deal with headaches, tummy aches, heartburn and cold sweats. I just discovered today that Tums works really well with the heartburn. The headaches go away with one of those
Ibuprofen capsules. The tummy aches are not as bad since I've gone from 2 to 1 of the Phentremine capsules (tried this as of yesterday). And I don't notice the cold sweaters as much since I reduced the dose of the Phentremine.
My favorite part is that my clothes are fitting better after only a few weeks. As for the effexor, I do not take that so I am unfamiliar with those side affects. Good Luck!!!
