Phentermine "I started taking Adipex on July 15, and I must say I have definitely seen a difference in my eating habits and it's only been 3 days! Amazing! I was 127 lbs in 2012 and somewhere along the line I lost the will to work out and stay fit. Needless to say, I gained about 35 lbs since then. So, I am giving Adipex a try, and it's doing wonders for my appetite! I experienced dry mouth the first day, and that's the only side effect I have had. I eat yogurt for lunch, and dinner is 2 turkey sandwiches on wheat bread, and I drink 2-3 bottles of water a day. Eating right and exercise are key to helping drop weight quicker! Once you stop taking the pill, you must maintain good eating habits along with exercise, or the weight will come back plus more!"

Phentermine "I just started Adipex 3 days ago. I'm having some insomnia and terrible dry mouth. But I also have mad energy and a little appetite. Adipex is amazing! Compared to having no energy, terrible depression, and feeling like there was no hope, I feel great! Hopefully, this continues - don't give up, there is help out there!"

Phentermine "I just started taking Adipex. I think so far it's helping me a ton. I'm on a 1000-calorie diet plus Adipex. I'm working out every day. This is my 5th day, and I already lost 6 pounds. Adipex seems to be helping me from overeating, it seems to be helping me curb my cravings. I have no craving for sweets of any kind, so far so good."

"Taking this medication for 4 months now, I was 203 pounds in March and down to 169 pounds now (July), feeling good. I'm 33 years old, I've always struggled with my weight and binge eating disorder, but it got worse during the pandemic. I was binge eating every day, and I couldn't control it - I was 203 pounds, the heaviest I've ever gotten. I was uncomfortable in my own skin, so I decided to look for help because I couldn't do it on my own, even though I tried. The doctor prescribed phentermine. It took away most of my appetite and cravings - I felt hungry, but I would eat just the necessary. I still have binge eating episodes when I have PMS, but not as bad as before. Not many side effects for me, just a VERY dry mouth, it made me drink more water, which is good. I experienced insomnia sometimes, and a little headache and constipation in the first week. I recommend it to people who want to get healthier but can't do it alone, just don't forget that you have to be strong to keep the results. It's not a miracle pill."

Phentermine "I am 20 years old and I have always had problems with weight loss since I was in middle school. I went to the doctor and was prescribed Adipex. I have been on a low-carb diet, and I have been on Adipex for 9 days now, and have lost 6 pounds so far. I am very happy with the results right now and I'm hoping to keep at it and try to reach my goal weight! I am 5'4, and before I started the diet, I weighed in at 192 lbs, and so far I am down to 186 lbs. My goal weight is 145 to 150 lbs!"

Phentermine "It hasn’t been a month yet. I started Adipex-P, one tablet daily. I never believed there is such a pill to help me lose weight because I was tired of everything I tried and nothing worked out. Until I started this miracle pill, as I said within 3 weeks, I went down from 190 lbs to 169 lbs, unbelievable! I'm so happy with my results. My goal is to go down to 155 lbs or around. I’m 5’6”."

Phentermine "I've been taking Adipex capsules for 1 week now and I am down 11 pounds. I don't exercise. The pill just makes me not want to eat. I have to make myself eat. I also have severe dry mouth, so I drink water way more now. The only other side effect I have is heart flutters. But I can handle that, because it happened to me before I was on Adipex."

"I started phentermine right before Thanksgiving. I am 5'2'' and starting weight was 184 lbs. It made me not hungry at all. I constantly drank water and ate very lightly. No insomnia first month. I lost 17 pounds. Second month I had to take 3 days off because of the insomnia. If I feel I can't sleep, I will skip a day or two. Still only drinking water and eating lightly. No exercise at all, and today I weigh 156 lbs. Total loss of 28 lbs in two months. This month I plan to add exercise to drop more weight. Love Phentermine!"

Phentermine "This drug is extremely effective. If you're not losing a lot of weight very fast like the more amazing stories you read, you are not taking full advantage of it. It will give you an amazing kick start to a new life that will be very difficult to maintain, and that you must be very committed to, or you need not bother -- because the weight will come back otherwise. Friends & I lost 20 lbs per month, so 6 months is the max length of time you should be using it. After you are finished with it, the real you will reappear, and you will again have to fight all your original demons: hunger pangs, portion control, willpower, laziness. If you can't do that, don't bother to set yourself up for yet another diet failure and heartbreak. OK 2B Hungry :)"

Phentermine "I've been on this medication for 3 months and I've lost 15 lbs. This medication is great for people who are struggling to lose weight and have tried everything. I plan on taking this medication until I hit my goal weight of 160 lbs. I started the medication at 191 lbs and now I am 176 lbs. I have 16 lbs left to lose."

Phentermine "I just started using Fastin and I like it better than other diet pills I've tried, such as Hydroxycut, because it doesn't make me feel sick or nauseous. However, it definitely makes my heart rate skyrocket, so for the first couple of days, I would only take half a pill at a time. A full pill makes my hands tremble, and I can hear my pulse in my brain."

Phentermine "I’ve been taking Fastin for about a year. And took it for a few months the year before. I love this medication. It helps me not be so tired. I take it as soon as I wake up, and I’m good for the rest of the day. When first taking it, make sure you eat a little something, otherwise, it will make you feel sick. It does make your heart rate go up. I don’t mind it because I know you have to get your heart pumping to lose weight. Went from a large 16-17 to an 11-12. 205 lbs to 160 lbs in the past year, and I’m only 5 ft 2 in. (I have large hips). It helps me have energy that I haven’t had since I was a teenager. And I only take one tablet in the morning. This medication is a blessing to me!"

"On 1/31/2020 I weighed 207 lb at 5'8. It's now 2/2/2020 and I just weighed in at 201. Six lbs in two days! I'm on phentermine 37.5 mg once a day. I'm super excited to share my journey as I continue taking it!"

Phentermine "I was on Adipex in 2010. I started out at 272 lbs. I was amazed at how much weight I lost every week. I had to buy new pants, jeans, etc. every week. I averaged 8-12 lbs lost per week. I lost 126 lbs in just under 5 months. I was very active, exercised every day, and didn't have the craving for food. I did find that not eating led to headaches and mood changes. You have to eat!"

"I’m 62 and a veteran. I have always been active. I started slowing down a bit and gained some weight. I’m diabetic and have tried to lose weight. I’m 5 ft 8 in and weighed 240 lbs. I went on a 1200 calorie diet for 3 months and lost 10 lbs. I leveled out. I went to see my PCP for some help. He put me on phentermine 30 mg per day. Wow, in 2 months I have lost 24 lbs and eat like a bird. I have a salad and I am full for the day. I still walk and stay busy. I am retired because I am disabled. My desire for food is almost zero. I feel much better, my blood sugar is way down. You have to drink lots of water on this medication. Dry mouth is always there. I have to keep going, and I plan to. For my family. God bless."

Phentermine "I started taking Adipex in Sept and went in on Dec 7th for my three-month check-in, and I lost 38 pounds. I am 5'8'' and began weighing in at 259, and now I'm down to 221, and this is without including exercise. Walking is part of my daily routine, I walk a lot throughout the day as I'm running between classes and then to go to work. I did experience some side effects the first week, like being lightheaded, dizziness, and a dry mouth. But I use that to increase my water intake. My doctor actually recommended I only take it about 5 days a week so that my body doesn't become so used to it, and that's what I have been doing. So far, so good, and I can't wait to continue losing weight."

"Started 2/21/20 at 214 lbs. I’m 5’2. I’ve been taking it for about two weeks and I’ve already lost 14 lbs, down to 200. I’m so happy, totally happy. Goal weight is 160."

Phentermine "I was put back on Wellbutrin back in February '09, and I started at 223 lbs. A month later, I went back for a checkup and lost 6 lbs on my own. I then asked about Adipex. The doctor put me on it in March '09. I lost 19 lbs the first month. It is now August '09, and I am down to 159 lbs - below my goal weight of 165 lbs! This is the last month I will be taking Adipex, but I will continue my low-carb, no sugar diet. I also exercise 2-3 times a week at the gym for about 75 minutes. It has really helped me change my lifestyle. There is no magic pill out there! You really have to be dedicated and willing to work hard."

"I'm a 28-year-old female standing 5'3". I went to my doctor on 7/31/14 and was prescribed phentermine 37.5. At the office, I weighed in at 275 lbs.! I started taking the medication on 8/1/14 (half a pill to see how it would affect my heart rate. I have hypertension). On 8/2/14, I weighed myself, and the scale read 269.6. I only took half a pill that day, too. This morning, 8/3/14, I weighed in at 265 on the nose! I've been overweight since the age of three and remember being on diet pills at the age of nine. I've tried it all. As an emotional eater who needed a miracle, all I can say is thank God."

Phentermine "I was prescribed Adipex on Nov 10, 2014. I weighed 155 pounds. To some that might not seem like a lot, but it was to me. I had tried working out and eating right, and nothing was helping. Today, Dec 22, I weighed 135. I have steadily lost weight since starting it. I skip some days and still feel energetic and not as hungry. The first week on Adipex, I had the worst dry mouth. I couldn't drink enough water. I'm still pretty thirsty, but it's manageable. Drinking water helps the medicine work better. I have also changed my eating habits to use when the pills are up. The first night I didn't sleep, but now I can go to bed no problem. This medication isn't a quick fix, it simply is helping you make lifestyle changes to keep weight off."

"While this medication may seem useful & effective in the beginning, be careful. I've been taking this medication off & on for approximately 10 years. I've found the longer I'm on the medication, the more addicted (mentally & physically) I am to it. I love the energetic, invincible feeling that it gives me in the beginning, however, I've found that I am more irritable & moody now too. I have gotten to the point where I feel I can't function without it, although it's lost its suppressant effect."

"I have been using phentermine for approx. 3 months and I've lost 42 lbs. I look and feel a lot better, and am working on losing another 40. I watch my diet and exercise. I take a day off every once in a while and have whatever I want, but I make sure to get right back on track the next day. Phentermine is not a miracle pill, you still have to work at changing your lifestyle."

Phentermine "I restarted Adipex today. Full dose. I had amazing results 2 years ago. Went off it, but gained 40 lbs back. Unlike some user reviews, I can tell you the weight gain was NOT a result of quitting Adipex. It was poor choices in diet and lack of exercise. I got lazy. But NOT because I quit taking Adipex. I started today because I need help. It is a potent drug. And it will make you not want to eat. EAT ANYWAY. When you don't, you WILL experience mood swings and hostility. The purpose of this drug is to HELP you make better food choices and to get into a good exercise routine. Drink LOTS of water and EAT every three hours. Do some research BEFORE taking this drug. It can be EXTREMELY beneficial if you use it the right way. Good luck all."

"I'm gonna start taking phentermine 15mg on Friday. I currently weigh 287. My goal weight is 130/135. I hope this works for me. I'm tired of being overweight. I want to be able to go to a nice clothing store and get that nice dress without the lady saying, 'Oh, I'm sorry, we don't have that in your size here.'"

"I've been taking phentermine for 2 months and I have lost 22 pounds. I haven't exercised, just my normal active life as a mother and student. The only side effect I've had is severely dry mouth and no appetite. I literally force myself to eat something."
