Phendimetrazine for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I have been on Bontril since December 28th, 2010. I am pleased to say that I have lost 7 pounds the first week and 6 pounds the second week, and tomorrow will be 3 weeks and I have lost 3 this week. In total, I have lost 16 pounds so far. I have experienced dry mouth, suppressed appetite, and headaches. However, none of them bad enough to make me stop yet. When I look in the mirror, I am so pleased. I started out at 171 pounds and now am at 155 pounds. Every day I am excited to see what my scale says once I get up. I would recommend this to anyone that needs to lose weight. LOTS of WATER will make you feel full, so it is very much needed. I haven't been able to exercise yet due to an injury in my back."

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 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 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."

Phendimetrazine for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I've been taking Bontril SR (105 mg) for 30 days. The 1st week I lost 7 lbs and the 2nd week I lost 3 lbs and none since. The 1st week I had tons of energy and a significant decrease in appetite. The 2nd week my appetite started to come back and the energy was gone. I now have almost the same appetite as before, although I do get full a little quicker. Went to the doctor today to get a refill. Going to try 1 more month. I did follow the 1200 calorie diet and drank lots of water the 1st 2 weeks. It is hard to restrict calories now that the hunger is back. As far as side effects, I did experience headaches, insomnia, and dry mouth for a few days, but that has gone away. I was also irritable that 1st week. Now the only side effect is dizziness if I don't drink enough water."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I have been on phend for 5 weeks, and my Dr put me on a B12 shot every week also, and I have lost 16 lb so far. I am so happy with it, no side effect at all except dry mouth. I feel thirsty all the time, and this is a good thing :') My energy level is so good. I used to weigh 162, and now I am 146. I was reading about the med and started to get worried about withdrawal after taking it. I still have 15 lbs to lose, so if anyone can ensure me or tell me what his/her experience was, please. Thank you."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "As far as the weight loss, it works great. My problem is unusual, as it causes my mouth to be very, very dry. This had caused sores and raw places in my mouth. Since I can't eat due to the intensity of the sores. So, yes, I've lost weight easily, but I've decided to stop taking it because of the pain. Has anyone else had this problem?"

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I started taking this medication on 4/6/10 and have so far, as of today, lost 10 lbs. I love it. For the first time, I did experience heart palpitations, which scared me a little bit. The next day, they were gone. I would recommend this medication to anyone. My goal is to lose 50 lbs, and I will agree my focus is great, and I have not experienced any jitters or problems falling asleep. My doctor has me taking the medication on a time schedule, which is at 1 pm, then 4 pm, and lastly at 7 pm, with a B12 shot every 2 weeks. I have experienced dry mouth, but I just upped my water intake since I am not a big fan of water. I do not eat any high-calorie foods at all. I only eat chicken breast (deli) about 3 slices with some veggies and have water."

Phendimetrazine for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I'm taking Bontril now. Today was a week. I have lost at least 3 lbs, eat 1/4 of what I did, and am more focused. While taking this, you should drink lots of water because your mouth will be dry."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I just have to say taking Phendimetrazine was the only way I could lose weight. Obviously, diet and walking 4 times a week for half an hour. I didn't have side effects, except for dry mouth and a lot of energy, which was very good. Anyway, I was with a physician-supervised weight-loss program but I never had a problem. I lost 91 pounds in five months. Simply... amazing!"
