| 3 | to lose Weight | Head ack mode | F | 34 | 1 months 27.5 | 3/14/2015 | 4 | Pre Gastric Sleeve Weight Loss | Mild heart palpatations, energy increased, focus increased. | GREAT - Besides the heart palpatations. Felt strange need to CLEAN ..... (needed to anyways) ability to focus increased. Played (1st time ever) Sons Temple Run Scored EXTREMLY HIGH while in moving car .... Did all husbands accounting and taxes in less than 30 min with 99% acuracy . Stange connection with nature and outdoors. | F | 35 | 4 days 37.5 MG 1X day | 3/3/2015 | 4 | Weightloss | Dry mouth, constipation, light headed the first day, lack of sleep the first two-three days. | I started phentermine on 7/18 and tomorrow, 11/15, I do my 4 month weigh in. I started at 242.2 and today I am at 210.4! Overall, I am very happy with me decision to take this medication. I have no cravings when I take it, have more energy, and the dry mouth side effect has me drinking more water. It's not magic and you can still mess up. I don't take it everyday, I probably have skipped around 35% of the time. I don't like feeling like I have to rely on it and I also know that some days I don't need it. I don't take it if I have to take sudephederine. I see this medication as a way to have more energy to get in the habit of working out, make a habit of drinking more water, and finding new (healthier) foods since no food tastes amazing/I don't miss some foods. | F | 25 | 90 days 37.5 1X day | 11/24/2014 | 5 | Weight loss | No strong side effects at all for me. The first couple days there was a little "fizzy" feeling in my head, but after that I don't even know I've taken it, except I have almost no appetite. And like others have said, you get dry mouth and drink a lot of water, but that's what you should do anyway when you're trying to lose weight. | I been taking phentermine for 8 weeks now (one tablet a day around 11:00 am) and have lost 28 pounds. I feel so much better than I have in years, I'm exercising more, have more energy, so I'm going to go another four weeks and try to lose 10 more. Then that will be it. No bad side effects to speak of for me, so all I can say is I'm very pleased with phentermine as an appetite suppressant and diet aide. | M | 66 | 8 weeks 37.5 mg 1X day | 9/20/2014 | 5 | To jump start my weight loss - obes | Lots of energy and Dry mouth - my doctor prescribed it to me because I am extremely overweight and suffer from high blood pressure. I took it as soon as I got up every morning and never felt hungry or had a desire to eat. Many days, I had to force myself to eat something! I was always thirsty though, so I drank water constantly - all day long. It's been 2 months since I started taking this medicine, and I've lost 35 pounds!! I also had more energy so I've been able to excercise more and actually started eating healthier! | F | 36 | 2 months 37.5 | 7/26/2014 | 3 | weight loss | Severe heart palpitations | I asked to be started on Phentermine because I take Depakote and Seroquel for Bipolar Disorder and it's nearly impossible to lose weight while taking those. We started me on a half of a 37.5mg. tab. The first 4 days were great, I felt no hunger and stayed within my caloric limit. After that, the hunger came on slowly day after day until it was pretty much the same as it was before taking the pill. At about 2 weeks, the heart palpitations started and by 21 days, they were so bad I couldn't concentrate on anything but the fact that it felt like my heart was pounding out of my chest, so we discontinued the drug. I think it may be a good drug for some people, but if one has any type of mental illness they should be careful of the psychological effects (although I didn't have any from this low dose). I usually tolerate drug side effects pretty well but I can't tolerate this particular effect. | F | 42 | 21 days 18.75 1X day | 8/14/2013 | 4 | Weight loss/Appetite suppression | Even tho I did not feel hungry; I knew my body was craving food. My stomach would growl and had minor stomach aches from not eating anything. I guess thats the point! | It worked great after a few weeks. I started taking it in the morning with breakfast but after a few weeks I started to feel really hungry late in the day; when I got home I wanted to eat everything. I changed to taking it near noon and it helped. | M | 24 | 7 months 1X day | 5/10/2013 | 4 | Lose weight | I have no problem sleeping , and I have no appetite or let's say some but it comes and goes some times it goes after I take a bite . There is a slight bit of an edgy feeling but nothing I can't handle Andy blood pressure was fine so overall it's great dieting and not starving all the time I work out every other day and I might have lost some strength but only normal with less calories , I started at 175 pounds and in 8 days I am down about 7 pounds , when I finally reach my goal of another 5 to 8 pounds I am done with this, but yes very satisfied the reward is worth the edgy feeling... | M | 53 | 8 days 37.5 | 11/9/2012 | 2 | to lose baby weight | Extremely tired, fatigued, nauseous, no appetite. Only been on phen for 3 days, works wonders on appetite but I'm miserable in the process. I don't know if its worth feeling so utterly tired. I'm wondering if this side effect could be from having ADD | F | 20 | 3 days 37.5 | 8/26/2012 | 2 | weight loss | insomnia,dry mouth,spaced out,twitching,restlessness | been taking this on and off for a year and have not lost alot of weight,in fact i'm back to where i started. am pretty sure your body gets use to this pill therefore stops working after long term use. the side effects are quite unpleasant and stopped me from socialising,i just stayed in feeling spaced out. quite expensive too around £50 for a month supply. | F | 42 | 1 years 1X day | 8/25/2012 | 3 | Jump start weight-loss | dry mouth, bad taste in mouth, SEVERE personality change, mild depression | I am normally a very happy & optimistic person, who's also very friendly. HOWEVER, after taking Phentermine for so long, I'm on the verge of divorce, I"ve lost friends, and I've felt so emotionally despondent for long periods of time...FOR NO REASON! I have a loving husband (who was ALWAYS my best friend & the one I could always turn to) and a WONDERFUL little girl, along with great health & a good job----other people are in much worse situations! I KNOW it has to be this drug affecting me mentally & emotionally! I AM grateful for the weight-loss jumpstart, but I'd put the 30 lbs. I've lost all back on just to have the OLD me back! | F | 39 | 8 months 1X day | 5/29/2012 | 5 | weight loss | Shaky and nervous if you just sit and dont work out. | Along with the hcg diet shots for three weeks I lost stored fat. I have not been this weight since high school, I work out a lot which makes a big difference. I only take phentermine twice a week and only 1/2 a tablet, if I feel tempted.to eat the wrong stuff. Lost 30 pounds and have kept it off almost a year. Would have been happy losing about 15-20 pounds, am a size 3-5 now! | F | 54 | 9 months 1/2 a pill 2X W | 5/10/2011 | 3 | weight loss | dry mouth, loss of appetite, tiredness, messes with my mood | my doctor will only give me one bottle a year because basically she says this stuff will kill you. i beg her and threaten to buy it online and risk getting poisoned so she gives in. uppers bring me down so this stuff makes me tired but it does help me control my appetite if i don't use it often. when i am pmsing and want to eat everything i will take half a pill just to take the edge off. i got 30 pills 3 months ago and have plenty left. i work out every day and am on a strict low carb diet. have taken off 36lbs in the last 3 months. not a miracle pill, you have to do the work but it can help. i am ready to do it all without the pills. careful, it can mess you up | F | 38 | 3 months 1/2of 37mg 1X AN | 3/12/2011 | 5 | Lose weight | Dry mouth, shakes, nervous, mind races.. All the side effects of a crack head!! My Dr said it's the closest thing to legal speed. That really makes you want to go out and take it doesn't it. LOL NOT. I hate the way it makes me feel, but it will help you lose weight quick! | I will work really good as long as you don't go home and eat a big mac for dinner and fast food all the time. It does work but you have to try to eat health too! Your body will get used to it after about 3 months so take a month off and start it back. Overall it works if you can get over the way it makes you feel. I call it my crack pill, I have to talk myself into taking it. | F | 35 | 10 years 37.5 1X day | 9/20/2010 | 5 | Weight loss | None- eventually quit working | It was amazing. I felt great. Take it first thing before eating breakfast. You need to curb your caffeine intake if you don't want to feel shakey. I felt amazing, had energy to hit the gym, but you need to have intrinsic motivation and knowledge about how to eat right. No processed foods which stimulate your appetite. I gave up expensive coffee's and creamers, pop and ate more natural whole foods. I used my energy for good and not for evil... so I hit the gym and overcame my anxiety about going. You have to want it, you have to know how to get it and you have to still put good practices into play- this will take you where you want to go. Unfortunately, it stopped working for me after about three months. I went from 223 to 165 and am currently back up to 180, but suffered from an injury which has stopped me from exercising and caused some depression. I am hoping to restart again in September and get back to where I want to go- my goal is 145. | F | 41 | 3 months 37.5mg 1X day | 8/22/2010 | 5 | weight loss | Only take 1/2 of the 37.5mg, anymore and you get shaky. Don't take after 10-11a.m., sleep issues occur. | Lost 17 pounds in 25 days, even cheated on my diet. Ate only lean meat, veggies, and fruit, along with protein water. Worked out every day, cardio and weights. Dropped 2 sizes, down to a 5-6. Worry about stopping it, it really controls appetite. | F | 53 | 25 days 1/2 pill 1X day | 8/14/2010 | 1 | Hypothyroid 90 lbs overweight | Racing Heart. Not able to sleep OR eat. Pounding headache. | I lost 60 lbs by myself. Went to the doctor one day for a checkup and he said "let me help you with the rest" and gave me Rx for Phentermine. OMG I took this stuff and yes, lost 5 lbs in 5 days but daaaayyyuuummm I didn't sleep for 5 days, I didn't EAT for 5 days and I didn't do anything but race around like a crazy girl. My pupils were dialates, and I had absolutely POUNDING headaches! By day 7 (which was a Monday) I was a WRECK. I went to my doctor and told him I couldn't handle this anymore, I MUST sleep and eat. He told me to stick with it! NEVER AGAIN! To this day I haven't been able to lose a pound. It completely stopped my weight loss progress. UGH!!!!!! | F | 37 | 7 days 30 mg 1X day | 7/3/2010 | 5 | weight loss | Only really had side effects the first 3 days, insomnia, sudden uphoria, no appetite. after that only occasional head rushes. | I have been lucky and really haven't had any addiction like problems, its effect has slowly tappered off for me, but after 4 months it still helps. Sometimes feels similar to taking caffine and can have anti-depressent like effect, atleast for myself. Doctors are always scared to prescribe it though. Over all its helped me lose about 15% of my body weight in a few months without much hunger or tiredness. Made my transition to my bariatricans diet plan simple. | F | 19 | 4 months 37.5mg 1X day | 5/10/2010 | 3 | Weight loss | The first couple of days I was jittery but after I got used to it, this went away. I did, however, have to quit taking it after about 2 months because I developed hives. This is listed as a possible side effect. Why it took 2 months to develop I do not know but these were horrible! I mean hundreds of them! | This drug worked for me as far as weight loss was concerned. It worked WELL. I was looking to lose about 40 lbs and in the 2 months I was able to take it, I lost 17 lbs (with restricted calorie diet and exercise). It's not a miracle drug but if you are willing to work at it you will get results. I wish I could continue taking it.... | F | 26 | 2 months | 1/21/2010 | 5 | Weight Loss | It made me tired at the end of the day. Some acid reflux which went away after the treatment. Doc advised me about those side effects before taking it. | Works GREAT! Combined with exercise and good diet it's awesome. I lost the pounds I needed it -- Super Happy. It is a miracle pills if you work out and watch what you eat. | M | 40 | 45 days | 12/6/2009 |
