For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I have been on phentermine for 3 weeks now and have not lost any weight at all. It has not decreased my appetite at all, although I do eat a healthy diet for the most part. The only effects I've noticed are shakiness and a very dry mouth. I'm very disappointed because nothing else has worked, and this was my last hope at losing weight."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "First day, cannot sleep. I’m so hoping I can sleep tonight and this part wears off. Jittery, my head shaking more than usual. Weight 3 pounds less, and that’s obviously water weight. I’ve only 16 pounds to lose, and this works, unlike some very expensive treatments I tried, like Saxenda weight loss injection or Mysimba (Contrave in the US), which cost a fortune and did nothing. It should be easy on these pink pill phentermine, and hoping the insomnia and jitters go away soon. I’m 52 years old, 5 ft 4, and weigh 168 pounds. Goal is 152 pounds."

"I take one pill by 8 a.m. before I eat any food. I eat 400 calories a day. I exercise on the treadmill for 30 minutes at 2.8 mph every day. I have energy, I don't feel that hungry, and I only have dry mouth and sometimes the jitters. I started on Dec. 5th, 2008, at 197 lbs. I am now 150 lbs. This is my last month, and I am going to get to 137 lbs. You do this process until you meet your weight goal, then you add 100 calories a day until you reach 1,500 calories. This is so you don't yo-yo. Then you maintain the 1,500 calories/day for 3 months while still exercising."

Phentermine for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "Terrible! Terrifying! Don't take Fastin! I took a whole tablet, and within 15 minutes, my heart was pounding out of my chest. It was so bad that I could see my shirt moving with every heartbeat. If you are prone to panic attacks, this will make your heart race even more. My heart rate finally slowed after 1.5 hours, and then I had chills and jitters. I took this drug because my doctor wouldn't give me RX medication for weight loss."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I used Adipex for 4 months and went from a size 20 to a size 12/14. I stopped for 5 months and went back to a 17, I plan on taking it again. It made me want to clean everything spotless. Gave me jitters and dry mouth and couldn't sleep for anything but it's small things to me. It did give me mood swings at first. I got irritated and nervous a lot."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I dropped 35 pounds on this medication in 6 months without exercising. I also took up smoking cigarettes and heavy drinking to counteract the jitters that can leave you unable to sleep. (Not a good combination for your body.) You have to literally force yourself to eat. Your body will build up a tolerance to it, even at increased dosages, and eventually you will have to get off of it. So if you have not established a healthy change of lifestyle (which was my unattained goal to begin with), you will gain the weight back, which I did. I also have suspected liver damage from combining phentermine with Aleve and alcohol. Side effects: heavy armpit sweating and mental fog."
