I went to the doctor because I was at the end of my rope. I felt like I was in prison. I haven't been able to lose weight since the birth of my child 8 yrs. ago. I had my gall bladder removed 1 1/2 yrs ago. Having that removed caused more complications, not being able to eat a normal portion of food without it causing massive stomach pains and the runs.. So! for over a year, not eating alot with e...

Why isn't my comment positing? I gained weight on phentermine. I gave it a bad review so what do I have to say it's good in order for it to allow my comment. Ok I'll change to someone satisfied but in all reality it was a waste of money. I don't know how everyone is losing weight. I did lose my appetite which was great but I could sleep that night. I had to take it every other day so I could...

SEE QUESTION: This medication has really helped curb my insatiable appetite. I am not sure how many lbs I have lost, but it does help stop the cravings. Aside from the dry mouth-has anyone else had this side effect? I take the phentermine at 7:30 every AM. Around 12:30-1:00 my face gets really flushed for about an hour or so. The skin feels tight between my eyes-around the top of my nose...it's kind of weird. I experienced a similar side effect with a pain reliever I was prescribed last year after I had surgery...but when I stopped the pain reliever, the flushing stopped also. I began taking Phentermine in September and noticed this side effect about a week into taking this med. Read More Read Less

I have been on this medicine for 3 months and I have lost 30 lbs. I am taking the month of November off of it then back on it for another 3 months which I hope will be my last as I hope to be at my goal. But all and all I think it was a good chioce to go on this medication to get my weight going in the right direction.

With the aid of Phentermine, along with a low-calorie diet and exercise, I've lost 80 pounds in the past year!

I have been using this product for 2.5 months now, and have lost over 20 lbs. I am very happy with it and hardly any side effects, just the first week (a little shacky) but not bad. Your body does adjust within the first week or so, after that no side effects. You do have to watch your intake of coffee. I have another 20 lbs to go this was the only perscription that has worked, it really helps you control your eating, and has kept me from eating the junk foods I used too. Best and safest out there!!Read More Read Less

I went to the doctor because I was at the end of my rope. I felt like I was in prison. I haven't been able to lose weight since the birth of my child 8 yrs. ago. I had my gall bladder removed 1 1/2 yrs ago. Having that removed caused more complications, not being able to eat a normal portion of food without it causing massive stomach pains and the runs.. So! for over a year, not eating alot with excerise, you would think I would start losing. Ha! Like I started saying . Went to the doctor and he did blood work and everything check out fine. I now think I'll be fat for the rest of my life! Instead, he put me on this wonderful, helpful, energizing key to get out of my prison. I have been taking it for 2 1/2 months now. I have gone from a size 20 to a 12. I don't have a clue how many pounds I've lost because I don't really care. That scale is always the death of me. I can be in a good mood and step on it and it will literally ruin my whole day. Forget it! not doing it this time. All I know is that I can cross my legs now. Jump out of bed. Keep up with my 8 year old and have enough energy to make it to bed. Side effects...I agree with the others. Dry mouth at times is awful. Keep something to drink around at all times. Along with a box of Tic Tacs! I feel like I've been given a second chance to be healthy!!! Thank you Lord!Read More Read Less

This prescription works very well, but it does effect your sleep patterns. If you can learn to change the way you eat you can take this for 3-6 months and loss weight then get off of it and maintain.

I have been taking it for 2.5 months now and I have recently began to experience pounding heart, shortness of breath, and I have totally loss my interest in sex. I am going to tell my doc this week because although I have lost 17 lbs, I dont know if the marriage issues are worth it. Maybe he will perscribe me something else.

I have taken phentermine now for 5 weeks and I have lost 25 pounds. I wasn't severely overweight but I needed to lose my baby weight. It makes me generally happy, my energy levels have risen and it makes excercise much more enjoyable. The only side effect that I really experience is cotton mouth. The only thing that bothers me is the fact that I don't ever want to eat. I have to force myself to eat and when I do, I get so sick I want to throw up. So I went almost a month without eating an actual meal. This month has started out better however.Read More Read Less

I have been using this drug for about 4 months and it has helped me lose about 50 pounds so far. There are a few side affects but nothing you cant deal with if you really want to lose the weight.
