For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I started taking this on Feb 9, 2017. It is now April 8, 2017. Two months on this medicine, I have lost 18 pounds, with 11 pounds going in the first 4 weeks. At first, I only took half of what I was prescribed, which is 2 pills three times a day. On the 4th day, I was so hungry I went ahead and ate a bunch of junk food, but it still wasn't what I normally ate. It has decreased my desire to eat everything I see all the time and all but killed my insatiable hunger. I have been overweight starting in 2001. I am barely 5 feet tall and weighing 209 pounds is just bad. I have thyroid disease, arthritis, along with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. Most days, it is a chore to go from my bed to the chair downstairs. This is helping me."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "Struggling with weight for years, I have tried numerous diets, high protein low carb being one of the best. But with a busy, stressful life, I needed a bit of help. I started on phentermine 30 mg in the morning and phendimetrazine 35 mg in the evening. They worked like magic: I lost 6 lb in 1 week, 10 lb in 1 month, by the 3rd month, I had lost 20 lb. I started at 170 lbs and ended at 150 lbs, maintaining for 2 months just by taking the morning pill. I will start taking the evening pills to lose 20 lbs more. The secret is to stop eating and start only tasting good."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I started gaining when I got engaged and now need to get it off. Unfortunately, I cannot take GLP-1 drugs due to my history with pancreatitis. I was started on 37.5 mg phentermine (Adipex-P), one tablet in the AM. I had used it successfully years before, but I am older now and I absolutely hated how phentermine made me feel - jittery, angry, irritated, and anxious. It has a long half-life as well, which I hated. I switched to 35 mg phendimetrazine (Bontril PDM) after 2 months of phentermine, and the difference is night and day. Phendimetrazine is smooth, has a much shorter half-life, and works better for my food cravings. I only take 35 mg twice a day, as more than 70 mg makes me feel very stimulated. It's a great option for those of us who need something stronger than phentermine without the intense side effects."

Phendimetrazine for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "Due to my rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis, I am on steroid shots. I gained 25 pounds in 4 weeks. Lost 11 pounds when I could exercise. Then, NOT being able to exercise (RA on feet and ankles). I started Bontril on March 11 and stopped for 9 days because I could not get to the doctor. I have lost 10 pounds. No withdrawal symptoms while off. Would recommend it. Starting tomorrow again."

Phendimetrazine for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I am 70 years young, 5'1'' tall, and did weigh 160. I have been taking Bontril for 6 weeks. I feel great and have lost 12 lbs. I must see my doctor every 30 days to be weighed. I find that I am satisfied with a lot less food. I try to eat a lot of veggies and tiny amounts of meat. Also bread that has 7 grams of fiber. When I get to my target weight of 140 lbs, I will wean myself off the Bontril by taking it every other day at first, then down from there. I do not have an addictive personality."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I started taking PhenD 105 mg on April 3, along with fish oil, multivitamins, and extra strength apple cider vinegar capsules. Today is April 21, and I am down a total of 10 lbs. I only have about 30 lbs to go to hit my goal weight, and I really feel like PhenD will help me do it. This medication makes me feel great. It improves mood and depression, is an excellent source of energy, and I have little to no appetite. The only side effect is dry mouth, which helps me to hit my daily water intake, and I've been craving fruits and veggies like crazy. Highly recommended!"

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I began a weight loss program on August 29, 2015, to date 01/31/2016 I am down 57 pounds and I feel great. This weight loss has really come from just eating healthier and taking a B12 vitamin in the AM, as well as after the first three hours of being awake a 30 mg phentermine capsule. I have been kind of stuck for the last couple of weeks, and the kicker has been that even after eating a nice-sized lunch salad, I feel like I am starving. I went to the clinic on Friday and told them about being hungry in the middle of the day, and they gave me a 35 mg phendimetrazine to take around 1 or 2 every afternoon. I have not had any problems sleeping since they were prescribed and really haven't even had the dry mouth lately. I have started to lose again."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I started taking 105 mg back in September and have lost close to 25 lbs. I started at 210 lbs in June and lost 25 lbs on my own and went to my weight loss doctor, who put me on 105 mg a day. I now weigh about 163. I love, love, love this pill. I have almost no side effects except for dry mouth sometimes. I drink plenty of water and I now eat very clean. I work out 3 to 4 times a week. Not too strenuous because of 2 herniated discs. I highly recommend these pills!!"

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I took this medicine last year. It worked great! My doctor had me taking phentermine at first, but that only worked for a few months. He then added this medication. I took 1 phentermine pill in the morning and then 1 phendimetrazine pill at around 4 or 5 pm. I lost about 20 pounds the first month with a strict 1200 calorie diet and exercise at least 3 times a week. I was 22 years old and am 6 feet tall. I took both these medications together for about 2 or 3 months and lost a total of 35-40 pounds. The only side effect I did have was dry mouth and a bad taste in my mouth, but drinking lots of water and chewing some sugar-free gum kind of helped. Other than that, I loved the medication. I recommend this medication to anyone seeking results!"

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I have been on Phendimetrazine since Tuesday, August 30th. It was not prescribed by my primary care physician. I decided to see a weight loss clinic and stick to a specialized plan. Originally, the physician wanted to place me on Contrave, but I quickly declined that option due to the severe nausea so many people experience, so she decided to place me on Phendimetrazine. I am so glad that she did. My starting weight was 278.6, and today (3 days later), I am at 271.0! 7.6 lbs gone already! I have been following a 1400 calorie or less diet since Tuesday, and I walked about a mile last night. I am amazed. Thankfully, the only side effect I have experienced has been cottonmouth. I suggest this medication strongly."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I have been on phendimetrazine to help lose weight for almost 2 months. Before I started, I weighed in at 255 lb, and in my first month, I lost 19 pounds, and the second that I know of, I've lost 10 pounds. So far, I weigh in at the doctor on the 4th to see how much I weigh then, but as of right now, I weigh 226 pounds. All together, I've lost 29 pounds. I'm looking at it."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I am 56 years old and have been about 35 lbs overweight for about 15 years. I was diagnosed in February with Type 2 diabetes. I was previously on phentermine but did not have good results. My doc changed it to phendimetrazine, and I am rarely hungry, and have lots of energy and better workouts! I have lost 20 lbs, 15 more to go, and I feel fantastic!"

Phendimetrazine for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "Took it for about two months (skipping doses on weekends and some weekdays due to extreme side effects), started having extreme difficulty breathing, anxiety attacks from not being able to breathe with such a tight chest. Also, it made me ridiculously irritable and mean all the time, but I did lose 15 lbs on it. Most of the time, I felt like I was literally going insane. Not sure it was worth it though."

I have 40 to 60 more to go. I think this diet plan with good eating and working out is the best-kept secret out there."

But I am a diabetic, and my sugar levels and pressure levels are normal. It has helped me a lot. I recommend it for weight loss."

Phendimetrazine for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I began using this medication on February 5, 2009, and have lost 25 pounds to date. I follow the 1200 calorie intake recommended and go dancing twice a week as exercise. This medication is a great jump-start to changing your eating habits. I no longer need to eat pizza, burgers, fries, or soda to feel full. Grilled chicken salad is now my new favorite meal. If used appropriately, it should help reach your goal."

Phendimetrazine for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I was prescribed Bontril SR 105 mg on 9/8/10. I weighed 178 lbs. I weighed myself for work, I was at 167 lbs. I haven't weighed myself since, but I can feel it in my clothes week by week and can see it in my face. I just began working out to increase my weight loss, so hopefully I'll be 30 lbs lighter in 2 months. The one thing I love about this pill is that I have to force myself to eat, which makes me aware of what I'm putting in my mouth. When I want to eat, I can't because I always feel full. The bad thing is if I forget to take it. I want to eat everything in sight. Good luck to you all."

Phendimetrazine for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I have been on Bontril 105 for two weeks today and have already lost 10.3 lbs. I also exercise 45 plus minutes every day and follow the food pamphlet the doctor gave me. I do have a free day on Sunday, though. I have not had any bad side effects or sleeping problems except the first two nights. I am planning to lose at least 40 more lbs and then get off the pills and continue exercising to help me keep it off."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I'm a severe asthmatic, have been since forever. I had to take steroid pills and shots because I couldn't breathe. It caused me to gain so much weight it never went away. At the age of 14, I was 268 lbs. It was about July 2010 that I looked in the mirror and saw that I was horrified with what I saw. I had let myself go, and to me, I looked very fat. A week later, I was put on Bontril. It absolutely changed my life. It's now May of 2011, and I weigh 220 pounds. The weight is still coming off, and I barely have anything that fits because it's too BIG. I've never been happier, and it keeps getting better."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I lost 50 lbs in 3 months on phendimetrazine. When I first got the pill, I was 240 lbs, just had a baby 1 year prior. 175 lbs before baby. After OTC diet pills and diet fads, I went to the doctor for help. 3 times a day (one hour before meals), 4-5 days a week at the gym & a calorie deficit lifestyle change helped me lose weight like crazy. My mood was so much better & I had motivation in everything I did. I had no crazy side effects. I got prescribed for 6 months. However, COVID hit & gyms closed for 4-5 months. I decided, since I thought the closed gym wouldn't last long, I'd enjoy myself. Well, we all know how long that went for. I slowly gained 15-20 lbs & a year later I'm back on the prescription. I was so stressed out with the world COVID policies & being harassed at work for them I would stress eat. I went to the gym when the gyms opened back up but couldn't get my eating under control. Day 3 and I lost 4 lbs already. I know it's water weight and such. I feel amazing like I have willpower again."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I have been prescribed this medication since 5/12/15. I weighed in at 204 lbs and am expecting to weigh in at less than 150 lbs on 11/23/15. I also take 1/2 a water pill first thing each morning, Bentyl every night, and a B vitamin every other night. All prescribed by the doctor, dispensed at 28 days. In addition to this, I follow a 1000-calorie eating plan and do my best to move fast for 30 minutes each day. Self-discipline is not easy, but paying for it holds me accountable. I have fibromyalgia, pancreatitis, and a vomiting condition that started when I was 9 years old. I also have had several times throughout these last 6 months when my back was out and I could hardly walk. I am thrilled with the results and only had dry mouth as a side effect. Now to build muscle!!"

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I started taking it 2 weeks ago through Medicenter weight loss clinic, and I lost 9.6 lbs the 1st week and 4.8 this week. I have a lot of energy, which is helping me to exercise again. I have never been someone who takes medication, so this is very hard for me, but the results are on the scale. I am hoping to lose another 30 lbs over the next 2 months and then get off the pills and head back to Weight Watchers for the last 15!"

I am not at all hungry, I have to make myself eat 3 meals a day, and the only thing so far is I haven't slept well. Hopefully this will subside. I started at 166 pounds, and I am 5'6" tall, and my goal is 145 pounds."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I got diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome 5 years ago. The doctor put me on many different pills, which made me sick to my stomach. Then he put me on phendimetrazine. I take one when I wake up and one around 3 p.m. It has helped me have the energy I need to enjoy life. I was always so tired and didn't know what I was going to do. I am so thankful for this medicine. I have had no side effects except for dry mouth sometimes. I drink more water and chew sugar-free gum to help. I don't take this for diet. I'm 34 and 5'6, weighing 134. I've maintained this size for 5 years now, give or take a few lbs. It really helps for energy."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I have been taking phendimetrazine 35 mg, 1 pill, then increased over a 2-month period to 2 pills, 3 times a day for about 4 months. I developed symptoms of hoarseness, a sensation of a lump in my throat, choking spells daily, excessive phlegm, swallowing issues, chest pains, severe upper stomach pains, and breathing problems.
