I just started taking Phentermine 37.5 Friday March 21st, 2014. I weighed 176 when I started. Since Friday, I have lost 8 pounds. So that is like 8 pounds in 3 days. I now weigh 168. I do not exercise and only drunk one glass of water. I have really sat on my butt since starting this medicine. The only side affect I have is getting a dry mouth closer to night. I still drink around 4 to 5 sodas a day and that is the only thing I drink. The only difference I have made since starting this medicine is not eating as much because it suppresses my appetite.
Has anyone else lost this much weight on Phentermine in the first 3 days?

You must have had some water retention that you've lost because you're eating right. You'll do better if you stop drinking soda and drink more water and get some exericise. The Phentermine alone isn't going to keep making you loose.
