Didrex (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 med 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 130lbs and I could not be happier. I have lost the weight and kept it off."

Didrex (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!"

Didrex (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 its always been the same. I am very happy with this medication."

Didrex (benzphetamine) for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I just started taking Didrex 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 100mg 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 sometimes less. Does a wonderful job on the sweet tooth I haven't had any chocolate which is amazing!!"

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "This works. I'm never hungry, I am full of energy, I am not moody. It last 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."

Didrex (benzphetamine) for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "One year I lost more than 30 lbs without any notable side effects. Stop meds and gained weight all back. Last yesr took the meds and kept off maybe 5lbs 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 & 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"

Regimex (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."
