For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I started taking Adipex on March 19th, weighing 256 lbs (5'10", 32-year-old female). I took it every day around lunchtime (took it for only 12 days). It's now Thursday, and I haven't taken it since last Friday because I still have NO appetite. I have to make myself eat. No side effects besides extreme dry mouth, I drink over a gallon of water a day. I weighed myself today, and I'm 238. So I'm down 18 lbs with only using it for 2 weeks. I find this medicine extremely helpful and am so thankful someone told me about it!"

Phentermine for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I am a 41-year-old married mother of 4. I weighed in at 245 lbs at 5'7. For years, I have had bouts of depression and self-loathing. Well, I have finally decided to do something about my weight and got the Phen shot Wed, June 27, and began taking the Adipex 37.5 mg Thursday. I must tell you, I feel fabulous! My energy is way up, and mentally I feel really good, almost like a feeling of euphoria. I have no appetite. I have to force myself to take a few bites. I would rarely drink water, but now it is my best friend! I have not drank anything but for 2 days now. I have dry mouth (and the tinge of stinky breath I read about in the reviews), but I can definitely deal with it. And I spend 30 minutes a day on the treadmill. Sorry to be so long, but I had to tell someone :) I really think I found something that's finally going to work for me! I can't wait to be slim again, to be able to bend down and tie my shoes without giving out of breath!"

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "This drug, phentermine, is amazing to help lose weight! I was skeptical before trying it. I didn’t think an appetite suppressant would help; even when I’m not hungry, I eat. I’m glad I tried it. It doesn’t just curb hunger pangs; it made me not focus on food. I used to obsess about food, and I’d keep thinking about it 'til I gave in. On phentermine, I go hours without feeling hungry or thinking about food! Maybe an occasional craving, but quickly forgotten. I went for my follow-up, and in just over 5 weeks, I have lost 22 pounds! And it was pretty painless. I did eat less; primarily veggies and lean protein with some fruit. And I exercise 5 days/week. So it wasn’t all phentermine. But it really helps. I take it in the morning so it doesn’t affect my sleep, but I noticed that I don’t take midday naps now. Definitely experienced dry mouth, and occasionally I feel anxious, but otherwise no side effects. My blood pressure has not been affected. This stuff is amazing."

Phentermine for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "At the age of 37 and after 3 children, up and down weight loss issues, I finally hit my all-time high weight at 250 lbs. I started taking Adipex not thinking that it would work, but surprisingly, it did. After taking the medication for 90 days, I lost a total of 40 lbs. The medicine made me not want to eat and also left me with a very dry mouth daily. I also did 3 miles on the treadmill daily. I still have the other 10 lbs to go and am very sad that Adipex is only for 3 months. Overall, the best weight loss drug I have ever tried."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "Jan 1, I told myself I have to start making healthier food decisions. I started working out 30 mins each day and eating healthier. Got on the scale after a week and didn't drop any weight. I had an upcoming apt 1/11/17 and told my dr what was going on. She suggested phentermine 37.5 mg. I started taking phentermine 1/12/17, my morning weight was 181.2. Today is 1/14/17, and my morning weight is 177.6. I felt a little jittery the first day, I noticed when I ate right after, it was not as bad. I do have cottonmouth all day, which I feel is a great side effect because it makes me drink lots of water. I have a 24 oz cup, and I have been filling it up at least 5/6x daily. Goal weight is 150. I will post on 1/20/17."

Phentermine for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I started Adipex on 11/8/2018. I am 5'5", I weighed in at 243 lb at the time. It is now my 5th day, and I have already lost 9 lbs. I am only taking half of the pill because the doctor thought I should gradually increase after seeing what side effects I would have. At this time, I have been following a 1200-calorie intake. Side effects have been dry mouth, blurry vision, and high heart rate, but it is tapering down now that my body is adjusting. I love the pill, but the only downside is the blurry vision. I will continue to take it to see if this stops, if not, I will just follow good eating habits and hit the gym."

Phentermine for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "My husband and I were on Adipex for 3 months before I got pregnant with our son. I had to quit taking it, of course. However, our first month I lost 18 lbs and my husband lost 29! In the 3 months we were on it, we lost a total of 105 lbs! It is definitely the best diet pill ever. The only thing I didn't like was that my mouth was always dry. I couldn't go anywhere without a bottle of water in my hand."

Phentermine for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I just tried this medicine because I had continuously heard it worked. I will say I felt a lot of energy for the first couple of hours after taking it, and I did lose 5 lbs the first two days, which was GREAT! But... I experienced terrible side effects. Other than the normal dry mouth, some jitters, and restlessness, I experienced severe mood swings, irritability, and I became angry out of nowhere. I know side effects are different for everyone. This was my personal experience. I think the medicine could've really helped me with losing weight, but I'm not willing to have the side effects. Good luck to everyone!!"

Phentermine for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I'm 31, female. Just shy of 5'4''. I started phentermine on 12/28/15 weighing 184, now I'm in the middle of my 9th week, and I weigh 165, so in 2 months I lost 19 lbs. My goal is 145. I weigh in at my clinic every Monday evening. I do cardio and weights 4 to 6 days a week. The first 3 weeks I ate strictly protein and veggies with some fat, I've slowly added in complex carbs and fruit. I drink at least 90 oz of water a day and have 3 meals and 2-3 snacks. The days I don't work out, I only eat the 2 snacks. The side effects I've had are dry mouth, dry skin, and constipation (despite my water and fiber intake). I recommend the smooth moves tea by Traditional Medicinals, but test it one a day where you can be near a bathroom so you know how you react."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I took phentermine 2 years ago, and within the first month, I lost 36 pounds and not a flabby loss. I was weighing in at 283, 6' 1'', and 30 days later on my checkup, I weighed in @ 247. I ran 6 miles on the elliptical and still did my body workouts. I had just quit smoking and cut my calorie intake to 1800 per day. At the end of three months, I weighed in @ 229. The only side effects I had were cotton mouth and constipation, but that's because I didn't drink a lot of water. It's a great pill to help you get to your goal, also, let's just say the wife was pleased!!! I hope this helps you achieve what you are looking for!!!!!"

Phentermine for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I have been on it for 4 months now, and I lost 44 lbs so far. It makes you eat smaller portions, if you try to eat more, your stomach will hurt. I'm sweaty and have a dry mouth all the time, which makes me drink more water. I still eat what I want, but I try to stay away from soda and sweets as much as possible."

Now I walk about 3 miles, 3 times per week. Side effects include dry mouth, constipation, and rapid heart rate. Recently experiencing stomach aches. Will take a few days off to assess what is going on. My goal is 160 pounds. Good luck, reader!"

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I'm 49 years old, and 2 years ago I took phentermine 37.5 and lost 65 lbs, from 235 to 170. I've done fairly well keeping it off but had noticed my clothes starting to get tighter, so I went back to my doctor yesterday and realized I had gained back 20 lbs. So today, I took my first pill. Dry mouth is the only side effect for me. It gives me lots of energy. I'm going to lose down to 150."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I am 43 years old, started 4 weeks ago at 186 lbs, now at 171. Sticking with a low-calorie/low-carb diet. Getting in lots of cardio. The pill isn’t magic, it’s been a lot of work losing, keeping track of foods, finding time to exercise, and cook healthy meals for lunch and dinner. The pill has curbed my appetite and helped with focus and motivation. No side effects after the first week (insomnia, dry mouth). All around pleased with results but wonder if I could have done it without pills, seeing as I stated, it’s been a lot of work."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "Well, I started with phentermine 37.5 mg June 28, 2016. It is now July 26, 2016, and I'm down 23 pounds. Start weight 302. I actually did a weigh-in today and I was 279. I was skeptical at first because I heard about all the side effects, but I really wanted to lose weight, and I'm glad I trusted myself. The only side effects I have had are dry mouth and constipation. My legs are a little jittery every now and then, but I sleep really well at night. I walk/run 3 miles every day, and I already lost 5% of body fat. Every person's body is different. I will highly recommend this pill."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I wrote a review before when I was a couple of weeks into taking phentermine. I am 5'4" and I started on May 1st, 2016, weighing in at 236 pounds. I was postpartum 1 year after my second child. Today is July 10th, 2016, and I weigh 200 pounds and am still losing by the day! I've noticed lots of changes I'm going to share with you all. For starters, I did experience the dry mouth side effect for the first month. I also experienced lots of energy, which was a huge thing for me. Now that I'm about 2 1/2 months in, the energy really subsided. Also, in my second month, there were days I would not take my medicine because I honestly just missed eating. I also noticed I could continue healthy choices without the medication. I'll check back in!"

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I have been on these phentermine for 4 months, 115 mg a day, amazing energy. I wanted to fit into my suit that I haven't worn in a while and see how far I could take this. Boy, did I take it far, basically way too thin for all my suits, and people at work and my wife call me skinny, and I've lost enough, they tell me. I don't even understand where they're coming from, as I haven't heard that my whole life. Sure, there are side effects, it affects your sleep, somewhat dry mouth, shaking, and sometimes I had dizziness before, but that's gone."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I'm 5'2", 32 years old and had been an athlete most of my years (track and field sprinter, powerlifter, and basketball), always weighing between 114-130. I went through a depression and gained 40 lbs within 6 months last year. I went to my doctor for weight loss help (after getting my depression under control), and she prescribed me Adipex-P (phentermine 37.5). I take the whole pill. On May 10, my weight was 174 lbs, May 16: 166 lbs, May 25: 163 lbs. I'm very happy and encouraged to keep it going. I run 1.2 miles 2-3 times a week. My goal is to drop 20 lbs by my next doctor appointment on June 20, 2017, and my overall goal is to be 125-130 lbs. Side effects: no appetite, dry mouth. I will update this every month as I progress."

Phentermine for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I started taking this in April 2012. I weighed 192.5. It is now October 2012, and I am down to 143!! I take it before breakfast and exercise 2-3 times a week, sometimes more, depending on how I feel. The first day is the only time I got jittery at all. No other problems except for dry mouth. I keep a low-carb diet with the occasional cheat. But I feel great and never thought I would be down this much weight this soon."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I originally started this on January 8, 2016, at a weight of 223 lbs. and ended it sometime around August 2016. I started with 15 mg and increased to 30 mg, then decreased to come off of it. I lost over 60 pounds during that time and then lost a little more after coming off of the medication. I maintained my weight with a 5 lb fluctuation. Just recently (Feb. 2017) I was put back on the medication to help me drop weight before possible surgery. I was instantly put on 30 mg. I started at 160 lbs, and as of today, I'm at 145 lbs. The goal is to be at 130-135 lbs. I haven't had any bad side effects other than random bursts of energy, dry mouth, the nasty taste in my mouth, and the lack of bowel movements."

Phentermine for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I started taking Adipex on 02/25/2016. My beginning weight was 235 pounds, and as of today, I weigh 211.4. So far, I have lost 23.6 pounds. This medicine does work. My doctor was not happy with my weight gain since I have been out of work due to an injury on the job and prescribed this medicine to me to help me lose weight. Working out does help. I probably would have more weight off of me, but dealing with a neck and back injury does limit the ability to work out quite a bit. I have had one side effect from this medicine: dry mouth! I drink a ton of water now! I cannot stand the taste of sodas anymore since I have been drinking water for so long."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I was at 185, now 174!! So far, 11 lb down in a little less than two weeks.. super excited! My goal weight is 130-135. 185 is the most I've ever weighed.. I don't think I look it, but the scale doesn't lie! Lol. I've had a few symptoms so far... dry mouth lasts all day whether I chew gum or drink water. Insomnia is horrible, I can have three hours of sleep and be fine all day. I used to get really jittery and want to move around, but so far I haven't been super hyper like I was. Today I felt my hands and feet tingling, not bad though. I have also had a headache the past two days... which it may not even be from this, hopefully, it'll go away. I also would have hot flashes but then get cold. Overall, I'm just excited to see results!!"
