"Started Adipex late October, now it is in the middle of December. I have lost 20 pounds. The pill literally cut my appetite, and I drank water. No sweets, breads. I really didn’t exercise, but housework, working, and being a full-time Mom and Wife. I guess you can say that’s where it came from. The only side effects I had were dry mouth and insomnia; nothing too bad. Oh, and yes, I could have lost more weight, but I skipped some days taking the pill."

"This pill works! I do advise that you eat breakfast, wait 30 mins, and drink water throughout the day. If you don't get hungry, eat something wholesome. My experience with headache and mood swings was due to me not feeling hungry, yet my body still needed fuel. Listen to your body! I'm at a weight that I'm happy with. I do exercise; it's my therapy. One seventy-three from 205! Also, it helps with my blood pressure. Eating is so much easier. I can think about what I need to prepare versus just grabbing the first snack, not so good choice that would satisfy me. Know your body, breathe, don't overthink, be happy. This is coming from me! It helped along with small positive changes. Peace!"

"I've been on Adipex for 6 days now and have lost 12 pounds. I'm really happy about that but I've had constant diarrhea every day since then and have become very dehydrated. Be cautious of the side effects."

"I started taking Adipex on a Saturday, which was September 1, 2018. I went to the doctor and weighed in on September 26, 2018. I have lost 15 pounds. I weighed in at 335 lbs and now weigh 320 lbs. I will go back on October 26, 2018, and I will definitely let you know. I haven’t had any side effects at all! I mean none!! I walk 5 days a week for 30 minutes, nothing else. I am very happy, and I am starting to feel better about myself."

"This product is the real deal. I lost 20 pounds in 1 month. The first week, I felt weird, like I was high. The energy is great. I never exercised because I was overwhelmed with my job & school. And I ate what I wanted to. I only drink lots of water and sometimes with Crystal Light, no sweets. Everyone wants to know what I am doing. I recommend this to everyone that needs a boost to drop the pounds. I started at 188, today I'm 162. That's a loss of 26 pounds in 5 weeks. Next week I will start exercising."

"Lost 45 lbs on this medicine and couldn't be happier. This pill works. I have kept the weight off for 6 months now and desire to lose another 15 - 20 lbs, so I'm going back on it. My belly has shrunk! 5 ft 2 started at 212 lbs, now 167 lbs. Some people that haven't seen me in a while do a double take. Counting my calories, exercising 5 days a week, keeping a food diary, and drinking lots of H2O helps too. Good luck all!"

"I took this pill in 2016 and had good results with it. But I was also a little younger and didn't weigh as much. Now i am 51 years old and disabled, which makes it hard to exercise. So I've gained a lot of weight in the last year. So I'm fixing to try this again. I'm 5'9" and my weigh in today was 217lbs. I will start taking tomorrow morning. My goal is to get to 170lbs by New Year. Wish me luck."

"I started taking Adipex early February 2009 weighing in at 288 lbs. Exactly one month later, I weighed in at 268 lbs. Now, on April 3, I am weighing in at 255 lbs, only taking half a pill every other day. Sometimes I go a few days without taking it. I started out with a 30-day supply, and two months later still have 7 pills remaining, so it really doesn't take much. I love it! It gave me a boost of energy, so with exercise and a healthy diet, I have lost 33 lbs in 2 months! NO SODAS AT ALL. I do not deprive myself of sweets. If I crave chocolate, I may eat 1 or 2 cookies. It has changed my life completely."

"I started Dec. 15th, 2012, and this has been my lifesaver! I am 5'9. I was 252 lbs when I weighed in. I couldn't believe it. I had never weighed that much. I used to be an athlete growing up, and after 4 kids, my metabolism slowed down to nothing. Within the 1st month, I lost 22 lbs! I had lost 40 lbs by month 3. In total, I have lost 57 lbs in 6 months. I have been allowed to take it continuously, but I personally tapered it off so I wouldn't become dependent on it. I still have a month's worth of pills left over, and I'm still losing! I walk for exercise, but nothing major. Gum helps for dry mouth, and I drink a ton of water and eat off a small salad plate. My goal is 160 lbs. I hope to reach that by August!"

"In Jan of this year I weighed 170.0. I had some gallbladder issues that ended up with it being taken out and caused some weight gain. It is now May and my last weigh-in was 141.4. I love my Adipex and I would recommend it for anyone. I have had two children and so my body has been through the ringer. I love the energy it gives me and the appetite suppression. I also like that it makes you thirsty and the only thing that helps is water. I am now a water drinker and I drink well over the daily recommendation. I love this!!"

"My last post was in February 2014. To sum up my experience: starting weight: 161.4, height 5'3. Received two total bottles of 37.5mg pills, which lasted me from February '14 to June '14. I would halve pills, skip days, etc. if I felt the need, so these lasted quite a while. My lowest weight once all was said and done: 141.2 on June 20th, 20.2 lbs lost. Today, Jan 30, 2015, I weigh 146.2. I am happy that in 7 months' time I've only managed to gain 5 lbs (AND after the holidays, thank you very much!). This pill is great, but it's not a miracle. It also won't last forever as you can only have 3 refills a year if you meet the BMI requirement for medical weight loss. Taught me portion control."

"I started using phentermine (Adipex-P) in the later part of February 2009. My first weigh-in was 233 pounds. I now weigh 203 pounds. The only side effect I had was a slight case of the jitters that lasted about a week. Other than that, everything has been great. I do exercise a few times a week, most of the time. Nothing crazy, just the treadmill and weights, when I feel like it. I do have high blood pressure, and I take lisinopril 10mg for that. I also keep up with the calories and sodium I take in, and I only drink water. If I need flavor, I buy the pour-in packs (e.g., Crystal Light, or Sam's Choice). Just the fact that I don't drink ANY sodas is a big accomplishment for me because I was a Pepsi-holic."

"So I have always been a big girl! I have 3 kids and with each pregnancy there was added weight that just carried over, and you know how the story goes... I pushed myself and my wants and needs to the side and took care of everyone but myself. The more weight I put on, the more depressed I got. I got to 280 lbs!!!! My body was in constant pain and discomfort, and I knew I had to stop and do something about it. I started the pills last year and lost a total of 125 lbs!!! Not just the pills, but I started the gym, did zumba 3 times a week, and started eating good. The pills aren't the magic fix. They just help you, kind of like a kick start. Sure, I had side effects!!!! But nothing that would outweigh being close to 300 lbs."

"My starting weight was 285 lbs. After 3 months, I am 245 lbs. I take 37.5 mg in the morning and 15 mg around 2 pm. I will admit that in the beginning, I was not eating as healthy as I should have been. Now I don't crave the sugar and fats that I used to. My once favorite food, Philly cheesesteaks, are only mildly appetizing to me. I have to remind myself to eat during the day. The only problem is that if I stay up too late, I do start to crave junk food, carbs mostly."

"Hello everyone. I am a 22-year-old female, 5'2 and 178 pounds. Back in 2010 through 2011, I was a workout fanatic hitting the gym at least 6 days a week and eating healthier than ever. I started at 170 pounds and went down to about 128 and had a phenomenal figure. I somehow lost all motivation in 2012 (after graduating high school) and started to slowly put the weight back on. I work full-time as a manager and am also a full-time student. I have been struggling with my weight ever since. Here I am 4 years later and still unable to regain the motivation it takes to lose the weight! I have zero energy and have opened gym memberships, tried fit tea, it works body wraps and even a waist trainer with no success! I just filled my prescription for Adipex-P and will begin it tomorrow 08/15/2016. I'm hoping for a boost of energy and also a curbed appetite so that I can learn to manage my unhealthy relationship with food. I plan on working out 3-4 days a week for the first couple of weeks and add more workout days as my progress continues to grow. I will post an update every 2 weeks from now so look out for me! Wish me luck and good luck to all who have struggled with their weight!"

"I started taking Phentermine HCL on March 18, 2008, weighing 194.5 lbs, and today (May 8), I am weighing in at 178 lbs. I have more energy to work and play with my son. I have not had any trouble sleeping, and my life has only gotten better. It was recommended to me by a friend who has lost 50 pounds since December. I would recommend this to anyone who has tried every other diet pill. This DOES work. It won't leave you disappointed. TRY IT!"

"I started Adipex (phentermine) on June 26th, 2012. I weighed 239 lbs, and I am 5'4, a 42-year-old female. I had the typical spare tire that women have a tendency to get over 40. I was obese and in danger of getting a number of diseases that would have affected the rest of my life, such as diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease. I have come a long way. I am down to 178 lbs as of today. I am beginning to see a slowdown in results. I need to increase my exercise as I only lost 6 lbs last month. I did, however, manage to lose 11 pounds over Thanksgiving and Christmas. The doctor is extremely pleased with my progress, as is my husband. He has a new wife. I have never felt better. I have dropped 10 sizes. 28 pounds to goal. Go me."

"I took Adipex two years ago and lost 70 pounds! I'm 5'11" and went from size 20 to size 10/12. Don't let that 1-2 pounds per week loss without exercising fool you into thinking you don't have to. You should at least walk every day or do some sweat-producing exercise 3-4 days a week to get the most out of it. I used the seated elliptical 4-5 days a week. It's quick if you commit to exercise, water, and the meds. No eating after 8:00 pm. I've lost from 2 lbs to 21 pounds per month with exercise. I've gained 20 pounds back over the two years and am now wearing a 14. I went back on Adipex a month and a half ago and plan to get down to a 10/12 by June 30th. ;-)"

"I have been on this medicine for nearly one week. I have lost 8 lbs since starting this medicine. I take half a dose on an empty stomach and then drink protein drinks for both breakfast and lunch. Then, I eat a light supper and have been eating about 1100 calories or less a day. I go to the gym about 3 to 4 times a week. I have noticed a change in my weight every day. I haven't had any side effects, my blood pressure has been running great. I don't experience any nausea or vomiting with this medicine while working out. I am planning on taking this medicine for 1 month and then taking a rest and starting it again."

"I have tried all the fad diets to no avail. I've tried over-the-counter weight loss pills and nothing has worked since Stacker 3 original formula was banned. I was told I would only get Adipex for 3 months. My third check-up is tomorrow, and I've lost 50 lbs so far. The pill is starting to feel like it's losing its effectiveness. Tomorrow I am going to start a 10-day break in hopes that when I start back up, it will be as effective as the first month. I've got another 40 to go, so hopefully it works. It's been great, though. 50 lbs in 2 months when nothing else helped before is very impressive. It's nice hearing all the compliments on the weight loss too."

"I started on 8/24/15. As of today, 9/6, I have lost 10 lbs in just under 2 weeks. I only take half a pill, which is just fine for me. I have very little appetite; I force myself to eat. I'm staying under 1200 calories per day, more like 800. My cravings for sweets are gone! This is strange for me because I love sweets. I'm not eating any bread or drinking any soda. Lots of water, fruits, veggies, salads, and protein. I have not exercised yet but plan to soon. I could not sleep the first few days and dry mouth is starting to kick in; it's tolerable. My goal is to lose 60 lbs by the end of the year."

"I took Adipex (37.5) from February 2012-April 2012, and in that span of time, I went from 300 lbs down to 170 lbs. That is a loss of 130 lbs. I hardly ate anything but grilled chicken, fruit, and Powerade. I walked at least 2 miles every day. I got pregnant at the end of May 2012, so I had to stop taking it. My baby is now 2 years and 5 months old, and my weight has gone back up to a very uncomfortable 240 lbs. I still exercise regularly but not as often as I should. I have an appointment in 3 weeks to get Adipex again, and I am hoping and praying that I have the same results as before. This is a great aid in losing weight for anybody who struggles with losing weight by diet alone. Wish me luck...will update in 90 days!"

"I took Adipex for 6 months. My starting weight was 210.0, and my ending weight was 165.0. That was a year ago. This is my advice: #1. You may not feel like eating, but do it anyway; or you'll slow your metabolism down to a crawl and stop losing weight. Just watch what you eat! #2. Take vitamins! By the time I hit 165#, my hair was starting to fall out, I couldn't focus, and I was constantly tired - sometimes I'd nearly pass out because I didn't feel hungry and just wasn't really eating more than 500 calories a day. Even sitting still, your body burns way more than that! #3. Be prepared to gain some of that back when you come off the pill. I wasn't prepared at all, and I gained it all right back. Still, great pill!"

"Hey everyone! I posted on 03/24 and thought I would give an update. Since 03/12 to today 04/09, I am down 17 pounds!! I do not exercise at all. I no longer have dry mouth like I used to, which is great. I'll update again in about a month when I go back to the doctor. Side effects at this time are 0."

"The first 3 weeks of this medication I lost 17 lbs, with little to no side effects. However, at exactly the 3-week mark, I began having nothing but watery bowel movements accompanied by gas-like cramps. This has gone on for 4 weeks, almost every day. I have now lost a total of 30 lbs. So yes, it curbs hunger, charges your metabolism, but you can't leave the house to show off your weight loss or be active because you are stuck in the bathroom for hours at a time. I am now quitting Adipex so that it does not cause long-term problems. It's a great kick start for a lifestyle change but the side effects are not worth it to me."
