Phentermine "I would recommend this diet pill to anyone. It works great, and the energy boost allows you to do your daily activities with no drained feeling after. I would advise a daily routine including sit-ups, push-ups, walking, etc. I'm a mother of two boys, 4 years old and 3 1/2 months old. My stomach has stretched a bit. I was on it after my first son and went from 176 to 125. I was only on it for 2 months. The weight stayed off until my second pregnancy. Naturally, I gained, so I'm now on it again. Due to more stretching, my muscles are weaker in my abdomen. If you rely solely on the pill, you will lose weight and appear thinner, but you will have saggy excess skin. You must tighten as you shrink. Chances increase due to rapid weight loss."

Phentermine "I'm 5 foot even and I'm at my biggest weight ever at 189 lbs (I'm considered obese)! I just started back taking Adipex today. My baby just turned a year old, and I can't wait to see how I do this time. Back in 2010, I began taking Adipex, and in the first 2 weeks, I lost 11 lbs. For the first month altogether, I lost 30 lbs. My doctor gave me my rules while taking this medicine. To see the best results, he said to drink plenty of water and cut the starch (rice, potatoes, Little Debbie pies, etc.), and you're going to lose tremendously. I did so, and I was very pleased with my results! It does work, but you have to discipline your eating habits. I would have a smoothie in the morning every day and for lunch, dinner, and snacks, I would only have pan-seared, grilled, or baked meat (any meat) and a bunch of fruits and veggies. Try it, and I promise you, you'll be very pleased!"

"I just started taking 37.5 mg of Phentermine yesterday for weight loss. After struggling with diets, exercise and medication weight gain, my doctor and I decided this was the best way to help me shed the 10-20 pounds I’ve been wanting to lose for at least 6 months. First and foremost, take this pill as early as you can because it did affect my sleep. On the first day, I only experienced light jitteriness, a little chest pain, and a headache. My appetite was lessened. Today (the second day) I am already down a pound, I’m not very hungry at all, and I only have mild jitters and a headache. Nothing that isn’t tolerable though. I plan on taking this for a total of 3 months only, so I’m hoping I’ll drop the excess weight I’ve gained and develop healthier practices while I’m on it. I will say that the increased energy is nice for someone who wasn’t sleeping well and then wasn’t motivated to move around."

Phentermine "I'm 44 and have gradually put on weight over these past five years - 50 lbs to be exact :( I currently weigh 177 and although I've done everything to try and lose my weight, truly, since turning 40 it has been nearly impossible and the weight just keeps coming on. I'll keep you updated on my journey but I am excited to try this as my last resort along with exercise and low-calorie foods."

Phentermine "I started Fastin 30mg from my doctor on May 19, 2014. You need to change your lifestyle, not just pop a pill and be done with it. Because if you don't change, the weight will return. I started at 285 lbs, in one month I lost 25 lbs and feel great. I changed myself with habit changes and exercise. I told myself that when this weight is gone, it's staying gone, so I changed my lifestyle and you can do the same."

Phentermine "I think that Adipex is the best diet pill they have come out with yet. I will swear by this pill. I used to wear a size 18 and now I'm in a size 10. This is no lie, I would even do a commercial for this product. My friends know how big I used to be and now... wow. I have a before and after picture of myself. This pill really does work. Felicia"

Phentermine "I started Adipex-P nine months ago, and I've consistently lost weight. When I weighed in at the Dr.'s today, I am down 20.6 lbs since last month! I've lost a total of 83 lbs and was approved for my left knee replacement on Nov 18. When that heals, we will do the other one. I have battled obesity my whole life - had gastroplasty (stomach stapling) back in the early 80s, and I've lost and gained hundreds of pounds during time periods in my life. I've got hope now that there may be a light at the end of the tunnel. When I get my knee joints in and get active, I think I really might be able to get down to a decent weight and make it stick. I'd like a second chance at life, to find a wife to spend my retirement years with. Staying positive!"

"This one little pill changed my life. I weighed 208 lbs, wearing a size 18, and had tried everything to lose weight but just couldn't. My doctor, who I was working for, suggested taking phentermine and I'm so glad he did. I was losing an average of 1-2 pounds a day. I lost 65 pounds in 2 months and now wear a size 8. I have not taken the pill in the last year and did not gain any weight back. The only side effect I had was dry mouth. I can handle dry mouth for the results I got from this amazing little pill that changed my life."

"I started taking 37.5 mg of phentermine - one pill in the morning. Before taking this, I had been exercising and eating right, but I could not lose a pound. Since starting phentermine a week ago, I am down 5 lbs. I am so excited! I have so much energy and no appetite. I was close to 200. I also have fibromyalgia, and it helps with that. I think they should actually prescribe it for fibromyalgia. I took Cymbalta in the past for fibromyalgia, but phentermine is so much better! I am going to hug my doctor if I reach my goal of 150. Side effects for me are dry mouth, but you end up drinking more because of it, so it isn't a bad thing. I honestly feel like this may be a miracle pill for me!"

Phentermine "I'm 39 years old and I have been having issues with trying to lose weight. When I first started this medication, I felt strange, but that was because I needed to eat before I take the medication. I started out a month ago (01/14/24) weighing 265 lbs. I am now 249 lbs (02/14/24). I have lost 16 pounds in a month and a half. I will say, I am going to continue taking this medication and working out at the same time to reach my goal. In order to see results that fast, you have to workout, cut out snacking, drink water (at least 5 bottles of water per day), and most importantly, do not eat after 8-8:30 p.m. Very important. I rate this medication a 10 out of 10. My goal is 180, 69 lbs to go."

Phentermine "Do NOT TAKE THIS MEDICATION!! Yes, it works for weight loss but it’s not worth the long-term side effects. You will end up addicted to this medication. It is a stimulant that increases your dopamine and then depletes it once you stop, which makes you severely depressed when you quit. If you have anxiety or might be bipolar, don’t take this medication as it can make you very manic, euphoric, and give you a false sense of invincibility. I’m dealing with the effects 10 years later after taking it. I made stupid choices when I was on this medication, and I regret it every day of my life."

Phentermine "I started Adipex on 5-23-16 exactly 4 weeks ago from today. From the first day I took it, I noticed a huge difference. I lost almost all appetite and had to force myself to eat even though I wasn't hungry. The best thing about it is when I did eat, I took the time to think about what I was putting in my body and made better and healthier choices. There are times when I wanted something I knew wasn't good for me, but my willpower is stronger and I turned from it. I drink only water. It helps me stay full. I also have been working out 2-3 times a week. The only side effect I've had was dry mouth the first week. I went to the doctor today and I've lost 23 lbs in 4 weeks. I recommend this to anyone struggling with weight loss."

Phentermine "My knees hurt to walk, my feet hurt to stand... I couldn't take it anymore... I went to doc and weighed in at 287.8... 3 days later and I am already down 7.8 lbs. No exercise yet but will when I get in the 260's. I feel better already and can't wait to lose another 60."

Phentermine "3/19/14 Went to the doctor and asked about starting Adipex. I was extremely unhappy with myself. I stepped on a scale a few days before this and realized I weighed 250. I have never been this big. I am 5'10". I started taking the medicine and walking every day, at least a mile. Then walking has led to jogging and crunches. I still have my sweet tooth but not like before with the medicine and willpower. On 4/11/2014, I weighed in at 232. I didn't even realize I had lost that much. My goal was to lose 30 lbs by July 4, and I believe I will well exceed my goal!"

Phentermine "I started taking this pill when I was 218 lbs and I now weigh 135 lbs! I had thyroid issues too that originally caused the weight. But once managed, I still had a hard time getting the weight off. This pill literally changed my life! Yes, it does speed up your heart, my doctor did an EKG beforehand to make sure it was safe to take. But the results are beyond worth it. And if you take it with water or juice and a banana, you'll be good to go until dinner time! It took roughly 6 months tops to lose the weight, and I've maintained the weight loss for about 3 years now. I still fluctuate a little due to my thyroid. But I just start back on it if I need to lose again."

"Best weight loss medication available. For me, the side effects were very little. Drink lots of water, and include lots of fiber. I use Metamucil orange flavor fiber 3 times a day along with green veggies. I love the appetite suppression as it helps you maintain a healthy eating pattern and is carried on after completing the medicine. Exercising 4x weekly and eating well, I lost 15 pounds the first month and 12 pounds the second month. Highly recommend. My days are very long, I didn’t have any issues sleeping. Also, make sure not to take it too late in the afternoon or you will experience trouble sleeping. Unless you’re planning an intense workout, I do not suggest taking this after 3 p.m. If you find yourself nauseous during exercise, eat half a plain bagel, no toppings, before your exercise. You’re most likely not eating enough and extra acid in the stomach."

Phentermine "I love, love, love Adipex! It took me about a week to get used to all the side effects, but when you realize how much weight you are losing, the side effects aren't even in your mind anymore. I started taking Adipex on Jan 24th, 2014, weighing 210 pounds. Today is now Feb 19th, not even a month later, and I now weigh 185. That is 25 pounds down in just one month. I work out (run a mile, elliptical, 20-minute abs) 5 to 6 days a week, and I only eat 1000 to 1300 calories a day! This pill is amazing, and everyone needs to try it if they are wanting to lose weight."

Phentermine "Fastin is an excellent dietary supplement for me. In the morning, right as I wake up, I take the little guy. The pill tastes like what I would imagine what baking soda would, but oh well, I am not sucking on it. It takes about 20-30 minutes to give the first kick. That kick is the rush that says 'I need to get moving or I need to get to the gym.' The first time I took the pill, I did get a little jittery and nauseous, but once I started working out and drank water, I started to feel fine. About an hour in, I hit phase 2. Phase 2 is the spunk and mood booster. I feel awesome and amazing like I know what I am working for. Again, the first day I felt a little dizzy and euphoric. Then there is phase 3, the come down. Drink water and eat a solid. I lost 100 lbs."

Phentermine "This is my 3rd time using these pills. The first time was in 2012, I lost roughly 35 lbs. I started again about 2 months ago. I kept the weight off for about 4 years, then got too comfortable and gained weight, so here I am. Along with everyone else, when I first took an entire pill, I too thought I was going to die. LOL funny but not funny. I started breaking the pill in half & I had no more issues. I DO NOT recommend taking these pills on an empty stomach. Eat first, take with WATER no caffeinated beverages or juice. Drink at least 16 ounces of water with it, and you more than likely will not have any more side effects. I feel completely normal when taking the pill as mentioned above. Hope this helps!"

Phentermine "Adipex-P worked for me. I lost the weight and I'm keeping it off. I haven't become resistant to the medicine at all. The generic brand is different - I had a headache and dry mouth. The name brand - no problems. I'm continuing to take it under the supervision of my doctor. I have no side effects, I feel good and I'm at a good weight. I exercise and stay on a low carb/high protein diet. This medicine rescued me from the weight loss merry-go-round."

"Update, (I did a review on 2020-01-23). I have been taking phentermine now for 30 days. I started out at 316 pounds. As of this morning, I weighed in at 295. I’ve lost 21 lbs. I am 49 years old and 6’ tall. I am surprisingly ecstatic over my results. As far as side effects, I actually haven’t experienced any. The very first day I took the medication, I did have a mild increase in heart rate. I know that the medication will react differently with each individual. But so far, mine has been nonexistent. I will check back and give an update in another 30 days."

Phentermine "I am 5'5' and 31 years old. I have been overweight my whole life, even as a child. At my heaviest, I weighed 256 lbs. I could hardly make it up and down the stairs. That is when I started taking Adipex. I am now 149 lbs and feel amazing! I know that there are side effects with every medicine, but there are also side effects to being overweight. Honestly, it is not easy to wean off. You have to work hard every day, not to cave into the cravings, and keep active. It gave me the edge I needed to make that life change. Other friends have tried using Adipex but could not stick to the diet and exercise plan and lost little to no weight! You need to want to make the change, the pills just help."

"UPDATE: Started taking phentermine on 7/18/14 and as of today 9/15/14, I'm down 32 lbs in almost 2 months. Still have dry mouth, but not as bad. Drinking 65 to 70 ounces of water a day along with a 1,800 calorie diet. No sugar, no soda, no fast food. Everything fresh and baked, not fried. More updates next month."

"So far, with this med is amazing. I considered Wegovy, but not eligible due to a thyroid tumor in my 30s. I'm 54, 5'10' female, and started this med two weeks ago at 224 lbs. Pre-pregnancy, I weighed 170 with a fairly muscular build. I've been more in the 200-225 range for 20 years, which is obese per BMI (not my fave measure, but it's commonly used). In two weeks, I've lost 14 lbs down to 211 on the 37.5 dose. The only negative side effect has been constipation. On the positive side, I've had so much good energy, not jittery, more like restored to normal. Better focus and workouts focused on body weight/lifting at a pace that gets my heart rate up to minimize muscle loss. The first few days, it was a struggle for this binge snacker to eat 750-800 calories, but now I'm up to about 1200 and hope to slowly increase. Food noise wanting sugar/snacks is GONE, and my prior high caffeine intake is down to 2 diet sodas a day from 6. Hoping for lasting success and will provide an update at 1 month."

"I started my pills Phentermine 37.5 mg on Feb 18, 2015. At 337.2 lbs on that day. As of today, Feb 24, 2015, I am 319.4 lbs, 17.8 lbs lost. The only side effect is dry mouth, so I'm drinking plenty of water. I also take Xenical 120 mg, one capsule half an hour after my last meal of the day, at 8:30 pm. My weight goal is to get down to 250 lbs, and once I hit that goal, I will set my goal to 225 lbs, going one step at a time. I'm proud of all of you, keep up the good work."
