| 5 | Phentermine | Dry Mouth, Feeling Hot, Increased Heart rate when I worked out, Increased Energy, Increase libido! | I love it! I take it first thing in the morning so this way I could sleep at night. I have increased energy at work. I don't feel tired all day. To conquor dry mouth I drank lots of water and had gum handy. When I was feeling hot I used my AC or fan. The only thing was when I worked out my heart rate would jump from 127 to 180. I had to take it slow at the gym to get the full effect but I had so much energy and I sweated for the first time working out. Plus I loved the energy while having sex. When my husband took it was even better! | F | 33 | 2 months 30 mg 1X day | 8/14/2010 | 5 | Weight Loss | Severe Dry mouth, Insomnia, Increased Sex drive, little to no appetite. | I lost 35 pounds in 2 months with moderate exercise and a low fat, high fiber, low calorie (1000 calories a day) diet. I am currently in my 3rd and final month of this drug and the weight loss is slower the third month, (my doctor states that this medication only works for 2 to 3 months at a time and use needs to stop after the third month.) He also says you must stop taking it for 6 months before you begin again (if it is still needed.) You can become addicted to it if taken too long. I am extremely happy with the results. A friend has been off of it for a year now and has even lost a few more pounds. You must continue a healthy life style to keep the weight off. | F | 33 | 3 months 37.5 mg 1X day | 5/5/2010 | 5 | weight loss | in the first week I couldn't sleep well at night but that wore off. I cut the pill in 3's and only take that amount at around 3pm( since my craving are worse at night) and continue that until I feel I need to move to a half pill. Doing it this way will not make you feel like you're gonna drop out of your own skin when you first start taking it and makes adipex last longer for you since it's known that your body adapts to it and it stops working after awhile. | This is a great medicine to drop start a weight loss program. It takes away craving and hunger a ton and lets you get used to eating small meals thus shrinking your stomach so once you go off of it, you are somewhat used to eating that way. It's not addicting but Ween yourself off so you get used to eating good without it. It also gives you some energy and working out soon after you take it increases it's effects and will make you work out way longer or better! Dry mouth is the main side effect I got and I just chew gum and drink tons of water! This drug motivates you and even if you have a job or go to school it makes you way more alert! It's awesome! The best there is out there no doubt! I went from 195 after having a baby, down to 134! | F | 26 | 6 months 37.5 mg 1X day | 2/26/2010 | 4 | Weight loss | dry mouth, withdrawal was very bad | I was taking this medication for 6 months and lost 30lbs. It worked great. I had a lot of energy and generally felt good. The only thing was that I stopped the medication, because I could not make it back to my regular doctor's office and the withdrawal was absolutely horrible. I had paranoid episodes, severe depression and anxiety and gained back 20lbs in 2 months. If you do come off this medication make sure you ween yourself off. It was entirely my fault that I went through this withdrawal and I just want to warm anyone who takes this that they need to come off of it under their doctor's supervision. | F | 26 | 6 months | 12/15/2009 | 5 | Weight loss | Loss/lack of appetite | I love this medicine. In 3 months, with out doing 1 bit of exercise, I lost 22lbs. I know if I would have walked a couple of days a week or some little bit of exercise, I would have lost more weight, but I think that's pretty good for not doing anything. | F | 22 | 5 months | 12/13/2009 | 3 | For weight loss | severe itching after first couple of weeks. Head face neck chest and shoulders | Great for controlling cravings. I felt motivated but calm. Love adipex . I am very disappointed to have developed the itching problem. Lost 15lb in approximately 6 weeks | F | 51 | 2 months | 7/6/2009 | 4 | weight loss | insomnia if taken later in day, dry mouth, tinny taste in mouth, SEVERE CHEEK AND LIP BITING, the biting causes trauma to the tongue which creates those really sore white taste buds and canker sores, oh yeah...weight loss! | My goal was to lose 30 lbs. I have lost 20 of those in just a little over two months! Am dealing with the severe mouth problems, as I see the finish line. A word of advice....for your first few days....take only half a tablet! As the weeks progress, supplementing your morning dosage with a second pill around 2 pm will keep you on track. | F | 43 | 10 weeks | 6/5/2009 | 3 | to lose weight | It made me edgy and irritable. I did lose weight (about 5 lbs.) without doing anything. But I couldn't handle the side effects. I had trouble sleeping and felt depressed and moody. I quit taking it after about three weeks. I like Tenuate much better! | F | 35 | 21 days | 5/12/2009 | 3 | weight loss | Hair loss, anxiety, irritability, anger, acne, hypertension. | I loved adipex, i hated the side effects. adipex helped me to drop 20 lbs very quickly. i could still eat but it must have raised my metabolism so much that i was dropping weight no matter what i consumed. I had to stop taking it because I started to lose my hair, started breaking out, developed high blood pressure and became very angry and irritable. If i didn't have so many side effects, i would still be on it today. oh and of course, once i stopped taking it I gained weight back immediately. | F | 33 | 6 months | 4/16/2009 | 3 | to shed a little weight | No side effects for the first week or two. After the 3rd week, I was only taking 1/2 tablet 3 times a week, started having breathing problems, shortness of breath, like I am not getting enough oxygen. I quit taking them, I've keep the weight off, but I still have the breathing problems. | Works good, great level of energy. Keep you from feeling hungry. Lost close to 10 pounds in two weeks. | F | 32 | 21 days | 3/19/2009 | 5 | weight loss | 50 lbs weight loss in a few months. Need to non stop clean lol. Energy from a 2 yr old lol. Had to MAKE or remind myself to eat. Urge to smoke was way stronger (like when you drink alcohol and smoke more lol) in the beginning. BUT over time it would die down to almost not wanting to smoke. Higher plus (expected) | I have been on and off this med a few times. Usually I would take it for 3-4 weeks at a time (fear of addiction after reading up on it lol) PLUS I would notice it would start to lose effects after a few weeks to. I did pretty well on it. And in the beginning you will lose ALL urges to eat. You have to remind yourself to eat lol. I could stand in front of a all you could eat bakery buffet and walk away lol I had already lost 70 + on my own before I tried it. A dr referred me to it to help me finish my goal (i was a lil past half way) I lost on a average of 10 + lbs a month. Give or take on how much I pushed with it. The more you exercise the more you get from the pill. You may lose some doing nothing BUT if you work hard the pill will work hard to. It wasn't to expensive either. The price could range from 28 a month down to 12 with certain discount cards. (insurance usually dont cover it) I lost 50 lbs on it. I tried not to stay on it longer then a few weeks at a time so I cant gi | F | 31 | 6 months | 1/27/2009 | 5 | Weight loss | Another thing I gotta note. THIS ISNT a med for "vanity" weight. You MUST be over weight to morbid obese for this pill to work. In the beginning I lost FAST. But the closer I got to my "medical" proper weight it almost didn't do crap lol. Ive noticed in the ppl that say it don't work are not that much over weight or are basically losing vanity weight. Id say at least be 40 lbs over weight before trying this med. | F | 31 | 6 months | 1/27/2009 | 4 | weight loss | sleeplessness, loss of appetite, energy, major increased smoking desire | I have been taking this medication for about a year on and off. I had gastric bypass in 1999 and after a pregnancy and gaining 58 lbs, I could not get the weight off. Phentermine helps me not gain anymore weight. I have not seen a major decrease in weight loss. | F | 38 | 1 years | 12/29/2008 | 4 | headaches, decreased appetite, sensitivity to light, feeling wired, short term memory loss, irritability sometimes extreme, feeling anxious, nausea and vomiting | I was on this med for a little less than a year and it worked wonders. I stated out at 15 which was too low, moved up to 30 mg which worked great for months and then moved up to 37.5. After moving up to 37.5 I noticed most of the side effects like the irritability, nausea, memory loss wired feeling and anxiousness. This med only works for 2 weeks and then stops. Then you have to stop taking it for a couple of days and start back up again. I lost over 40 pounds and after stopping the med, I am starting to gain weight back. I tried to take it again in June and I started having rapid heartbeats and panic attacks. I don't know if I can attribute the effects to this med, but I have not taken it again since. My sister took this med and it made her irritable and anxious too and she stopped taking it. My sister and I both lost a tremendous amount of weight on it. I like what it did for me when I was taking it initially, and it does work, but I caution everyone to be careful. | F | 28 | 11 months | 11/21/2008 | 4 | weight loss | sweating, insane need to clean my house SPOTLESS. no other side effects. no racing heartbeats or anything. | my doctor prescribed this for two months because the drug begins to lose its effectiveness and the inclination is to "up" the dosage. i took one pill once a day (30 mg) In a month, I lost twenty-two pounds. I decided to take it for one month. Go off of it for a month and go back on. Today is the first day of the "new" month. I'll keep you posted. | F | 26 | 30 days | 10/1/2008 | 3 | weight loss | dry mouth, feeling of uneasiness, | Started taking drug 3 months ago and have lost 12 lbs. Loved it in the beginning. Did not feel like I was on medication. Curbed my appetite. After 3 months began to feel different in middle of day. Doc said it was due to build up of med in blood stream and switched meds. | F | 45 | 3 months | 8/1/2008 | 5 | weight loss | None | I love this medicine I started taking it on 2-14-08 almost has been 4 weeks and I've lost 18 pounds.I eat about 800 to 1000 calories a day eat lots of fruit veggies, protein shake for breakfast, nuts and at least 64 oz of water a day. It took away my junk food cravings completly and I have my normal energy back but I would'nt say I'm bouncing off the walls like a lot of ppl do.I love it I would highly recommend it. I started out 5'3 156 as of today I weigh 138 :-) I also do 50 minutes on my eliptical almost every night. | F | 32 | 25 days | 3/10/2008 | 5 | Excessive Daytime Drowsiness | None | Very good at daytime energy... and it helped with weight loss. Went from 270 lbs to 230 lbs in a month. Continuing to lose weight is a great side benefit, but the main reason I'm taking it is to overcome daytime drowsiness. | M | 31 | 4 months | 2/23/2008 | 5 | lose weight | insomnia and dry mouth | LOVE!! Lost weight and had energy! Sort of had a euphoric feeling right after taking it. LOVE it! | F | 34 | | 2/14/2008 | 1 | weight loss | severe headaches, stiff neck , nausea- I could only take 3 days because I was so sick | I had heard great things about this drug and really was excited, but it made me feel like I had the flu | F | 46 | 3 days | 12/9/2007 |
