For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I started taking Adipex on November 17, 2009. It is now January 25, 2010. I have to admit when I first started taking Adipex, I felt like I was on straight speed. I couldn't sleep, eat, or concentrate. I still have bad mood swings and get upset very easily. I have no problem sleeping, that wore off the 3rd week. I tend to get hungry later in the afternoon. I was taking a half of a pill the first month. I take one pill a day now and do great, except for my mood swings. My starting weight was 165 lbs. I now weigh 138 lbs. That's a weight loss of 27 lbs. I still have 8 lbs to go. I exercise 5 days a week on the treadmill for 30 minutes each time. If you are really wanting to lose weight and can overlook the side effects, this is the pill! Good Luck!"

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "About 8 years ago, I was put on the antidepressant Lexapro, only to gain a massive amount of weight between Christmas and Easter. I was so shocked, and it wasn't until one of my brutally honest acquaintances gave me the 'what the hell happened' look. My doctor moved me onto phentermine, and while it took a few weeks to kick in, once it did, it was great. But you have to work out also, and drink lots of water. Cravings for fast food and pizza do disappear. I felt awesome by the end of the summer and was at my lowest weight ever. Now here's the hard part: life after phentermine. This loses its effect rapidly. Use it wisely, and you'll be successful."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I took this pill in 2016 and had good results with it. But I was also a little younger and didn't weigh as much. Now I am 51 years old and disabled, which makes it hard to exercise. So I've gained a lot of weight in the last year. So I'm fixing to try this again. I'm 5'9" and my weigh-in today was 217 lbs. I will start taking tomorrow morning. My goal is to get to 170 lbs by New Year. Wish me luck."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I started Adipex on 11/14/16. My starting weight was 310, weight today is 301. It's day 4, I weighed in yesterday and lost 9 lbs. I don't seem to have more energy, but it does work. The only side effects I have are dry mouth and a slight headache. I have absolutely no appetite and have to force myself to eat, but I also have no desire to drink sodas or any junk food, which is a great thing. I love this pill and would recommend it."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "It would be nice if the public was warned of how dangerous it is to have any surgery while taking this medication! I was scheduled to have knee surgery, and forgot to list this as a medicine until I was telling the pre-op nurse my meds. She then went postal on me! Informing me that if I wasn't off of it for 2 weeks before surgery, I could possibly die from high blood pressure. What an eye opener!"

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I went to a weight loss clinic on Tuesday, June 2nd. I have been battling my weight for years (ever since I had 4 kiddos). I'm 5'5, and my starting weight was 184.4 lbs. I started the prescription the same day that I had it filled, and as of today, Friday, June 5th, I am down to 177 lbs! This is absolutely unreal! 7 lbs in 3 days! I have had slight insomnia, constipation, and crazy dry mouth, all of which are easily solved. A little melatonin for sleep, cascara sagrada for constipation, and tons of water for dry mouth. I can't wait to see where I am at the end of June!"

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I'm 5 ft nothing, weighed 155.4 when I started. I tried dieting, exercising, Weight Watchers, and kept gaining weight. I was prescribed Adipex on Nov 18th, 2015, and the pounds started falling off. I took the whole pill and felt anxious and shaky for about 3 hours, and after that, no bad symptoms. I took it for 2 months and lost 26 lbs. I stayed off for a month, and I didn't gain a single pound back. After a month off, I got back on, following instructions from the doctor when I first started, and by the first week, I lost 5 lbs. I have 10 days left, and I am at 118. My goal weight is 115. Adipex changed my life, and losing 30+ lbs in 3 months is amazing. I would recommend it to anyone! Also, it is not expensive at all, with or without insurance."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I have nothing but good things to say about this pill. The first time I was on it, I started it in Feb of 2012 and stopped due to the death of my mom in June 2012. My starting weight was 210 lbs, and I am 5'6''. When my mom passed, I weighed 179 lbs. I was supposed to be on the meds until September, so I lost 49 lbs in 4 months, and I felt awesome. Until that day in June where my world came crashing down. I just recently went back on the pill, weighing in at 205 lbs, and now I am down to 191 lbs. It is working a little slower the second time around, but now I am a stay-at-home mom of three and haven't really been able to exercise since I have been on besides my regular running around after the kids. No side effects."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "It definitely helps with cravings and weight loss, however, if you have or do experience anxiety or depression already, this pill is not going to help. I did lose about 5-6 lbs the first couple of weeks, but I had to stop because it was making me a crazy person. I had the most horrible anxiety, and I just felt mean, upset, and sad, and it really affected my emotions negatively. Just be careful!"

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I started Adipex yesterday morning, and I lost 3 lbs when I weighed today. Dry mouth, but water is good anyway. Lots of energy. No appetite. Force myself to eat. Zumba and walking 4 nights a week is my plan. 251 to 248 in a day! What?! I'm on my way to being healthy and happier! Just turned 36, and I'm excited."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "This is the second time I'm taking these pills. The first time I lost 30 pounds in just a few short weeks. Now I've been on them for almost a month and I've lost 17 pounds. These pills really help curb your appetite, and I don't even think of eating."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I started taking Adipex on Jan 1, 2014, until Feb 1, 2014. I lost 30 pounds even. I did only 30 minutes of cardio a day. That was just brisk walking. My side effects were: cotton mouth, extreme loss of appetite, I lost my ass, I had extreme energy, couldn't sleep, I was very focused, I had a pleasant attitude but quickly became irritated, fast heartbeat, and blurry vision every now and again. My doctor told me that with Adipex, it helps you curb your hunger, but when you work out, it burns double calories. I was 180 and went to 149. When I stopped, the weight never came back, and it became hard for me to eat as much as I used to. I got pregnant and had a baby on Jan 29, 2015. I am 180 pounds as of 2/4/17 and I started Adipex again. Same symptoms, and I'm losing a lot again."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I have been taking this medicine for 20 days, and I’ve had minimal side effects. It’s made me more irritable, and the first 2 days of taking it, it made me feel a little weird. I had trouble sleeping at night for the first week and a half, but I think that’s been resolved. This gave me the kick start that I needed. I don’t know how much weight I’ve lost since starting it and will know when I go to my 1-month appointment. I’ve definitely been losing weight. It’s pointless to take this medicine if you're not actively taking steps to eat right and exercise-something that this medicine helped me kick start. I’ve been exercising every day and have been eating great. This took away all of my cravings, and I haven’t drunk any pop since taking it-that was my biggest weakness. I will post an update as soon as I know. I started at 222 lbs, and I’m 5’7"."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I am a 21-year-old female, 5 ft 5 in, and I reached my heaviest point, weighing in at 155.2 lbs. I have never weighed more than 130 lbs. I tried Weight Watchers, and I worked out for about 45 minutes to 1 hour every day, and nothing was helping. Anyway, I went to my doctor, and he said he felt I had reached a plateau, making it very hard for me to lose weight. I was prescribed Adipex tablets on 11/17/15, and today, 12/1/15, I am down 11.2 lbs. That is 11.2 lbs in exactly 2 weeks! After losing about 5 lbs, I already felt so much better. I have not had any horrible side effects. I experience dry mouth if I don't drink much, and I barely ever eat anything. I have to force myself to eat. Other than that, I have nothing bad to say about it. I definitely would recommend it! I will update in 2 weeks!"

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I was prescribed phentermine/Adipex for weight loss after I discussed with my doctor my lack of energy being a full-time single working mother. Time and motivation were really my issues contributing to my weight. She said this would give me the motivation and 'want' to exercise and is an appetite suppressant. Those two things are very true. I work a desk job and cannot exercise until evening, so that is hard. On day 1 and 2, I was on the go all day and felt fantastic, full of energy, and very happy. On day 3, I had several negative side effects of high blood pressure, heart pounding, fatigue, insomnia. On day 4, I had the dose cut in half by my doctor. Today is Friday, day 5, and I have lost 9.5 pounds since Monday. Hoping to see more loss but slower!"

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I started taking Adipex-P on 03/12. I am 5'5" and my starting weight was 315!! :( Side effects: dry mouth. Nothing else for me. It took about a week for the pill to curb my appetite. I drink lots of water! A couple of days I cheated on my diet, but I never overate like I used to. I have changed my eating habits tremendously. Currently, I have not done any exercising, but I plan to start. Today is 03/24, and I have lost 8 pounds! This is just the beginning of my weight loss journey. I recommend this pill."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I started Phen on 9/27/2016 weighing 201 lbs. Today is 10/21/2016, and I weigh 186. That is 15 pounds in less than a month. I eat right. I also get the Lipo B12 shot every Monday, and I go to the gym Monday through Friday on my lunch break. I work out and jog every evening. It has different effects on most people because we are all different. I take half of a pill in the AM and the other half at noon to reduce the fast heartbeat. If you don't work out, you're not teaching your body discipline. The first three weeks are the hardest, but it is easy now. I highly recommend this pill to anyone wanting to lose weight."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I have been on Adipex for about 2 months. Started out at 262 pounds. At my 1-month check-up, I weighed 249 so I lost 13 pounds in the first month. It's a few days before my second check-up, and I weigh 239 pounds, so I only lost 10 pounds this month. I feel stuck at my new weight. So I need to change something about my exercise or my eating. I really feel like this medicine is great for anyone with a weight problem. Looking in the mirror, I see a whole new person. I set my goal too high, and I think that's what's causing me to feel like it isn't good enough. I had a friend who lost 80 pounds in 3 months on Adipex. So I guess it's about determination. So I'm back to the gym. I want to get down to 150 pounds, where I haven't been in 7 years!"

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I am a 20-year-old male. I was never involved in sports in high school. I started taking Adipex in February 2013. It is now June, and I have lost 57 lbs! I have gotten off the medicine for about a month now and only take a pill every now and then as I start to lose my motivation. Coming from 334 lbs and only being 5'10'', it is amazing the difference you feel in your entire body. I am a full-time college student, and that makes it hard to focus on your health, but Adipex does it for me. I have had the dry mouth, and it does tend to make me extremely irritable sometimes, but still does the job. I have gone from a 48 in jeans to a 44, and some 42s fit."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "This is just an update. I've been on Adipex for 5 days now. I take it every morning. I do either fruit, yogurt, boiled egg whites, or something light for breakfast. I do the Body by Vi shakes for lunch, and I have a healthy dinner and 2-3 healthy snacks during the day. I try to keep my calorie intake at 1200. I cut out bread and drink strictly water now. I exercise at the gym for 1-2 hours or go to the track Monday to Saturday. I have already lost 6.8 pounds, and I am happy about it and plan on going even harder next week. I'm determined!!!!!"

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I have been taking Adipex for 4 days now. I have lost 13 pounds somehow. I changed my eating to only intake 1000 calories a day. I take half a pill in the morning and half a pill at noon. I have severe dry mouth and drink about 10 bottles of water a day. I am having trouble sleeping for the last 2 days. I get the jitters really bad about 30 mins after I take the pill, it lasts for a few hours. No issues with my heart rate! I am hungry until my stomach hurts. I was an overeater, so it's pretty painful! With all that, this pill is worth it. I am excited about my progress so far and can't wait to see what I can get down to in a few months!"

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "Well, I've been trying to lose weight since I gave birth to my son 14 years ago. And my New Year's resolution was to lose weight, and I was given Adipex by my doctor. I started on my diet in January 2008. I weighed 210 lbs. And now, with eating healthily and exercising, I weigh about 180 lbs. I lost 30 pounds, and I'm very happy with myself and thankful for my family and friends with all their support."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "Been on generic Adipex for 1 month. Start weight 183. Current weight 171. Drink lots of water on this. Dehydration can cause headaches (I get migraines already, so this did not increase due to the medication). The first day I was nauseous. The first week was extreme dry mouth and complete lack of appetite. I had to remind myself to eat during the first week. At some point during the second week, I was feeling a bit hungry but not the constant hunger I experienced before. As of the end of the first month, the only persisting side effect is the dry mouth. I'm also not sleeping very well! But I just take Tylenol PM for that. Overall, I feel good. I'm losing weight. I'm less hungry, so I'm selecting better food choices. (Chocoholic lol) and no serious issues."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I took Adipex the first week of February 2015. I wasn't really tracking the dates of how long it took for my weight to drop, but it was super quick. My starting weight was 220, by March, I was 189, and as of today, October 15, 2015, I weigh 167. I'm so happy, but now I want a flat stomach, so that's my next step. My pants size was 16, now I can fit into 9/10 and 11/12, so my goal is to have a flat stomach."
