For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "Previous user of Adipex (phentermine), which would work great for the first few weeks, but then totally wear off, not to mention the side effects (insomnia, heart palpitations, constipation, anxiety) were annoying to deal with. Switched to Bontril and am so happy I did. I feel calm and focused. It's the oddest thing to not have to 'stress' over counting calories and choosing good food options. It just sort of is a perk with Bontril. One tip: drink lots of water. Bontril, water and clean eating dropped 8.7 pounds off me in a week. One of the best parts is going to bed and being able to sleep, which was hard with Adipex."

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."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I am not at all hungry, and I too feel more focused. I do not have the anxiety I had with the Adipex. I just started taking it and have not weighed yet, but I feel so much more in control now."
