Doctor said I could increase to 30mg daily after first week, but since 1 15mg is controlling appetite, I felt it was unnecessary to up dosage to 2 15mg daily.
Now I'm wondering if 30mg daily would speed up the weight loss? (Losing approx. 2lbs per week after beginning Rx 4 weeks ago.
Does taking Phentermine 37.5 mg increase weight loss over 15mg?

Hello factsnojack. No, not necessarily. (I am not a doctor) I suggest you remain on the 15mg. The dose is upped more often than not when the 15mg dose is ineffective. Please note that the longer taking Phentermine, the quicker the body builds up a tolerance to the drug. Regards pledge
