If I worked out I gained weight, if I dieted I gained weight.. I mean NOTHING worked. UNTIL I went to the doctor and he put me on phenzene. In one year I lost 50 pounds and got down to 125 pounds!! I am still on it because my doctor wants me to get down to 115, but I fell SO great.. better than I ever have in my life. I never realized that the reason I was always so tired and dreary and anti-social was because I had always been overweight. When nothing else worked for me, this was the only thing that did and I'm so glad! HOWEVER, I have had a few friends try this drug and it did not work for them at all. Even one of my friends gained weight on it. So maybe it all depends on a persons biological predisposition! Read More Read Less

I began this medication a little over 2 years ago for the purpose of losing weight. I was 254 pounds, which is a lot on my 5'3" frame. Within a year I had lost more than 90 pounds. I was a full time single mother, so finding the time to workout was near impossible. This medication helped curve my appetite and help me eat smaller portions. Plus it gave me a little boost of energy that I lacked by mid-day. The only side-effects I have had with Phenzene Oral is dry mouth, some headaches, nausea, and nervousness if I didn't eat within a couple of hours of taking it. Even after being off Phenzene for a year, I have not gained any of the weight back but have recently gone back on it to help achieve my final weight loss goal. I do recommend this product and to help achieve the weight loss results with this product, I recommend a healthy diet and some sort of exercise like walking. I lose anywhere from 2-6 pounds a week. With the help of exercising I see greater results. Read More Read Less

i was about 40 lbs over weight and i was very unhappy and never had time to work out and controling what i ate and how much was impossible for me, i tried to work out for ahwhile but it was taking forever, so i went to a local weight management doctor where he took my weight,blood pressure,blood sugar ect. he prescribed me 4 phenzene a day, i was losing between 2 and 4 lbs a week, in 2 months i have lost over 25 lbs, i feel great have tons of energy and i did no exercising or dieting, what it does is suppress your appetite i still ate, i just ate very little throughout the day.Read More Read Less
