Benzphetamine for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I have used this medication for many years, it keeps the weight off of me and helps me to concentrate much better. I believe I actually had ADD and I was very unorganized. It has helped me in numerous ways without any negative reactions, and I do not have to increase the dosage, it's always been the same. I am very happy with this medication."

Benzphetamine for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "There was no medication, I repeat, no medication for weight loss like brand Didrex, which, for some insane reason, has been discontinued. Substitutes are weak and a shadow of the brand - this was the worst misguided action the DEA made in the midst of a dangerous obesity crisis in these United States. So forget substitutes - they are junk and nothing like Didrex, which was the very best ever!"

Benzphetamine for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I just started taking Didrex on 2/9/16. I've lost about 7 pounds in a week with increased energy. I did have headaches at the beginning, so I decided to take 100 mg of Ibuprofen, which helped greatly (I wasn't willing to stop without giving the medication a chance). I actually don't have to force myself to eat, I had a HUGE appetite. I still get hungry, but the drug suppresses my appetite, so I'm able to eat a normal amount, sometimes less. It does a wonderful job on the sweet tooth, I haven't had any chocolate, which is amazing!!"

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "Just started this weight loss medicine. And it's already doing its job. By suppressing my appetite, and I have got more energy. I tried Adipex, and it did absolutely nothing for me, so I'm very hopeful this one sheds the pounds! And I can update my story!"

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "This works. I'm never hungry, I am full of energy, I am not moody. It lasts a little too long for my taste, but it is well worth it. As long as I can catch at least 6 hours of sleep, I'm okay. I know how to eat right for the diet, but this works well to keep cravings for snacks and fast food away."

Benzphetamine for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "One year, I lost more than 30 lbs without any notable side effects. Stopped meds and gained weight all back. Last year, took the meds and kept off maybe 5 lbs, causing elevated blood pressure and a bald head to show for its value. Negative experience."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I have been taking this medication for a few months now. So far, I have lost 10 lbs, and my energy is through the roof. Yesterday, I forgot to take it, and out of nowhere, I started having suicidal thoughts and had the shakes really bad to the point that I had to go back home. I am not taking any other medications besides benzphetamine. Also, I applied for a job and failed the test because this is considered a controlled substance. I was still offered the position once they verified my prescription."

Benzphetamine "Regimex did curve my appetite, but it also made me very moody and irritated. I stopped taking it after just one week. I think I'm very sensitive to these types of medicines because Adipex did the same thing, and I had to stop it as well."

Benzphetamine for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I was severely obese and didn’t know what I was doing to myself. I was basically killing myself or eating myself to death. I was 400 lbs. When I started this medication, I noticed an instant change in not only what I was doing to myself, but it gave me energy I didn’t have. It sort of woke me up and made me realize what I already knew - that I didn’t like what I saw in the mirror. That was almost 10 years ago. Today I am my ideal weight for my height, 130 lbs, and I could not be happier. I have lost the weight and kept it off."
