User Reviews for phentermine oral

Well I started taking Phentermine on 09-25-2007 and as of 11-7-2007 I have lost 12 pounds. According to the BMI scale I am considered obese at 5'5" and 201 pounds, down to 189 pounds now. My goal is to get to 125 pounds and stay there. I was diagnosed with disc degenerative disease which had caused me to fracture a vertebrea along with an accident at work. I had back surgery and have not been able to exercise like I normally would have to help lose the weight so I was put on this wonderful drug. It has surpressed my appetite so much that there are times I forget that I haven't eaten all day until maybe 9 or 10 at night and even then I can eat something like celery and peanut butter and it fills me up. I can't wait to see the results once I start to exercise again. The only side effects I have had are dry mouth and I have recently noticed if I forget to take it one day and take it the next day I sometimes end up with diarrhea, but other than that I haven't had any major side effects.Read More Read Less

I'm not severly overweight but am only 5' tall. so a few lbs. show up quick on me. Plus I am a severe asthmatic. I took it in the fall and went from 132 to 128 in 30 days. because I did not have as much to lose my numbers are smaller but very significant in my clothing size! I started to work out, i could only make it 5 min. into a work out at first because of my asthma condition but I pressed on and came to do a 45 min workout in medium impact mode. I lost 8 more lbs. I also was determined to make my calories count, make good choices and reduce amount. And if I over do it; say out to eat... I eat only a bite or two of meat or other food high in protien to take me through the night so offset the amt. calories eaten per/day. It seems each fall I have a bout of asthma and I gain some back. but I work through it and am so happy with myself now! if you have an intent on changing how much you eat and cutting back on the goodies (sugar) you can loose it and keep it off. I think if you start eating in a way that is not normal for what you usually eat (unless it is fast food) then stick to what you usually eat but much less of it and try to eat nothing past 7 p.m. The drug just gives you a jump start. Create an intent that is a doable goal for a eating lifestyle change. I too took about 2 to 3 days to become accustomed to the affects of the drug. It creates more of a feeling of jitters. just eat healthy, vegetables (fresh, especially the green ones) and such and you should be fine.Read More Read Less

This med really works! I have been taking it for 12 weeks. When I started, I was 227 and now I'm 189. I have losted 38lbs. This is definitely a mircle pill! The only side effects i have was constipation and thirsts. So I start eating more fibers and drink more water. This change helped me eat even better than I was before I had the side effects.

Started taking Phentermine in May of 07 I had a hard time adjusting to the increased heart and sudden loss of appetite but quickly became used to it. Only major symptoms I have had from this medicine has been frequent constipation and as a result hemorrhoids. To date I have lost 42 pounds using the medicine in conjunction with major diet changes (I became a vegetarian) and exercise. As time goes on I find that the medicine is less affective at curbing the hunger pangs, but you can supplement with low or no calorie foods (IE Celery). I would recommend talking to your DR about doing this in conjunction with vitamin B shots or tablets to help ward off feelings of fatigue.Read More Read Less

I started taking these pills after I gained a whole bunch of weight from being pregnant. I went from 185 after having my baby to 132 is what I am at now and I started taking these pills for about 5 months...They work great!!!

Lost 73 lbs in 11 months with simple change in eating habits.

I HAVE LOST 14LBS IN FIRST MONTH

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

my energy level has been good, and stop craving sweets and stop over eating

This medication has helped control my appetite.

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.

I have lost 35 pounds in 16 weeks. Better than I have done on any diet. Feel great.

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

Like alot of people Ive been on diets all my life. At one point I was over 400 lbs. I lost 200 lbs with diet and excercise, only to gain it back later. Ive been on phertermine for over 7 months now and have lost 45 lbs so far.This drug works!

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
