For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I'm 44 years old and only 5 feet tall and have struggled with my weight for over a decade. I'm currently at my heaviest at 250 pounds. I was so small in high school - college, 100 pounds. A friend at work lost 31 pounds on it in just 3 months. I asked him how he did it, and he told me about it. I went to his doctor since my doc NEVER told me about this miracle of a pill, and I just started it today. I've read a lot of great comments about it. I do have borderline blood pressure to start with, so I was told to check my BP on it daily. I took one full 37.5 mg pill at 10 a.m. About 2-3 hours later, I felt a little dizzy. Around 7 p.m., I've had stomach upset. I'm praying I lose weight on this."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "This pill is great. I lost like 3 pounds in a week! Still, it has some side effects such as dizziness, insomnia, and daydreaming. But I would recommend it if you are determined to, in addition to this drug, diet (not a draconian diet, but no double-layered, double-creamed chocolate cake or fries, keep it simple and healthy) and exercise, even if it is just a one-mile walk per day."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I have been taking phentermine since April 13, 2010, under my doctor's care. I am 5' and 150 lbs. That is a lot of weight for my small frame, and my joints were constantly hurting. Eleven days later, when I returned to my doctor, I had lost 5 lbs, and I feel great. Already, my clothes are looser. I have been doing some exercise when I get the time, usually 2-3 times a week. I also have been eating 5 times a day. For every carb, I eat two proteins, and I drink lots of water. The only side effect I have is dizziness if I don't eat regularly. I can't tell if I have sleeplessness because I don't sleep very well anyway. I'm very excited about my weight loss and hope when I lose the 25 lbs, I will be able to maintain it."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I have been taking phentermine only for 3 days now. The first day I took the medication, I had some dizziness. After the first day, some dry mouth and very little loss of appetite. I do drink about a gallon of water per day, sometimes more, and my workouts are excellent. I like to sweat profusely when working out. With this pill, I see a good workout. I don't know how much I've lost because I only like to weigh myself every two weeks. When I started, I weighed 208 lbs. My goal weight is 180 lbs, but the doctor says she would like me to lose at least 40 lbs. I can't wait to see the weight start falling off. I'm having some slight doubts about this pill. I still crave some sweets, but not much. And I do sleep very well."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "My doctor recommended this to me 6 years ago for weight loss, which now seems like an irresponsible thing for a doctor to do. I lost weight quickly at a rate of about 3 pounds a week. By the 3rd week, I was experiencing side effects like constipation and some dizziness. I decided the side effects weren't worth it and stopped taking them. I have been able to lose weight through natural means."
