"It definitely helps with cravings and weightloss, however if you have or do experience anxiety or depression already this pill is not going to help. I did lose about 5-6lbs the first couple 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 and upset and sad and it really affected my emotions negatively. Just be careful!"

"I'm 5'3 female 39 yrs old my starting weight was 213 lbs . The 1st week I lost 15 lbs my biggest loss. Today I had my 1st month check up to get a refill and at my weigh in at the Doctors visit I was 190.8 lb. I started walking at 2 1/2 week mark I could only walk for 30 mins at first then I begin to walk for an hour. I had no energy when I first started taking the pills. I bought some vit b12 and when I took this it gave me the energy that helped me to start walking. I only take one b12 a day. I also take a multi vitamin and fish oil pill. I eat similar to the HCG protocol its not a miracle pill you have to have self control over the things you eat and choose food wisely."

"I started taking Adipex-P 37.5 mg on July 17, 2010 at 252 lbs. It increased my energy level and suppressed my appetite a great deal. I did experience dry mouth at first but it subsided in a few days. At a weigh in with my wonderful doctor on August 5, 2010 I lost 11 lbs. My doctor started me with taking the medication for 2 months and then one month off until January 2012 and I now take the medication for 1 month and I'm off of it for 2 months. I am hungrier when I'm off the medication but I have learned what portion sizes and types of foods to eat and have done pretty well maintaining. You have to have determination and willpower for the rest of your life. By the way, it's now April 7, 2012 and I weigh 148 lbs. I have lost 104 lbs."

"I am 5'8 and was weighing in at 198. I asked my doctor for help and he prescriped Adipex and I can say it is the most amazing weight loss pill/tool available. I was ordered to take one pill a day but I started with (and still take) half a pill and for 3 days I didn't stop moving. The energy was amazing, I have absolutely no appetite, I only ate because I knew I had to. I only slept for about 2 hours at night during those first 3 days but after about a week of taking the pill, my sleeping became regular again. I have been on Adipex for a little over a month and have lost 18 lbs. I am still only taking half a pill and only taking it 3 days a week and my appetite has come back slowly but nothing like it was before. And no side effects!"

"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 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 your not actively taking steps to eat right and exercise- something that this medicine helped me kick start. I’ve been exercising everyday 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 222lbs and I’m 5’7"

"I have taken Adipex since February 2009. I am a 41 year old, 5'6" female. When I started taking Adipex, I weighed 187 pounds. By August, I weighed 150 pounds, which was my initial goal. I now weigh 143 pounds! Most of my clothes are now sizes 6 & 8. I feel great. Adipex has changed my life. It was super simple to do."

"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."

"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 death of my mom in June 2012. My start weight was 210lbs and I am 5'6". When my mom passed I weighed 179lbs. I was supposed to be on the meds until September so I lost 49lbs 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 205lbs and now I am down to 191lbs. 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."

"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 pill the first month. I take one pill a day now and do great except for my mood swings. My starting weight was 165lbs. I now weigh 138lbs. That's a weight loss of 27lbs. I still have 8lbs 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!!"

"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 to 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!"

"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 focus, I had a pleasant attitude but quickly irritated, fast heart beat , 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. whe I stopped the weight never came back and it became hard for me to eat as much as I use to. I got pregnant and had a baby 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"

"Hey everyone! I started taking Adipex-P on 03/12. I am 5'5 and 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 over ate 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 on my weight loss journey. I recommend this pill."

"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 and 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. Day 1 and 2 I was on the go all day and felt fantastic, full of energy, and very happy. Day 3 I had several negative side effects of high blood pressure, heart pounding, fatigue, insomnia. 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!"

"I am 21, 5ft .5in female and I got to my heaviest point, weighing in at 155.2. I have never been more than 130. I tried weight watchers and I worked out for about 45-1hr every day and nothing was helping...anyway, I went to my dr and he said he felt I reached a plateau, where it was very hard for me to lose the weight. I was proscribed Adipex tablets on 11/17/15 and today, 12/1/15, I am down 11.2lbs. That is 11.2lbs in exactly 2 weeks!! After losing about 5lbs I felt so much better already. I have not had any horrible side effects. I have 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! Will update in 2 weeks!"

"Been on generic adipex for 1 month. Start weight 183. Current weight 171. Drink lots of water on this. Dehydration can cause headaches ( get migraines already so this did not increase due to the medication). First day i was nauseous. 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 if 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. im less hungry so i'm selecting better food choices. (chocoholic lol) and no serious issues."

"I'm 5ft nothing, weighed 155.4 when I started.I tried dieting, exercising&weight watchers&kept gaining weight. I was proscribed Adipex Nov 18th, 2015 & the lbs started falling off. I took the whole pill & felt anxious & shaky for about 3 hrs &after that, no bad symptoms. I took it for 2 months& lost 26lbs. I stayed off for a month & I didn't gain a single lb back. After a month off, I got back on, instructions from the doc when I first started& by the 1st wk,I lost 5lbs. I have 10 days left & I am at 118.Goal weight is 115. Adipex changed my life & Losing 30+lbs in 3 months...amazing. I would recommend it to anyone! Also, it is not expensive at all, with or without insurance!"

"This is the second time I'm taking this pills. The first time I lost 30 pounds in just a few short weeks. Now I've been on them for almost a month now and I've lost 17 pounds. Theses pills really help curb your appetite and I don't even think of eating."

"I am a 20 years old male, I was never involved in sports in high school. I started taking Adipex February of 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 but 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."

"I started Phen 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 Mon-fri on my lunch break and I workout and jog every evening. It has different effects on most pple because we are all different. I take half of pill in the am and the other half at noon to reduce the fast heart beat and if you don't work out your not teaching your body discipline, The 1st 3 weeks are the hardest but it is easy now and i highly recommend this pill to anyone wanting to loose weight."

"I was always weary about weight loss pills due to the jittery affect they give you. I decided to try the Adipex p and it was the best decision I had ever made. It gives no anxiety, jitters, on the contrary, I felt relaxed. Not like a drug relaxed, it made me feel as if I had slept so well that I felt perfectly healthy. Btw..it had been many years I felt that well. It just curbs the appetite and you start cleaning and getting on with life, as one is supposed to do. I went from a whooping 400lbs to 165lbs in 1yr. I only used it for the first month, after that my body took off on its own, but it was the perfect start."

"I have been taking Adipex for 4 days now. I have lost 13 pounds somehow. I changed my eating to only in taking 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 a over eater so its 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!"

"I am a 42 year old woman, 5'0" and weigh 232lbs. I am way too short to be this heavy. Severe depression over the years brought me to this weight. Today is my first day on Aipex 37.5. I took 1/2 pill after having my morning smoothie. I am doing Dr. Oz Day off Diet along with this. So far so good I only felt a bit of a head rush but otherwise the energy is perfect. I'm giving myself until January of next year to complete my full weight loss of 107lbs. I will be walking everyday as well. I will check in with updates every Monday. Hope I can help folks here as well."
