I have tried this pill and it definitely helped me lose weight. I do agree with some of the other comments though, that it does stop working after a while. I did well for 6 months until it stopped working.

I have been overweight for a long time up and down like a yoyo. Need to get onto it for 2009. I have also been searching for this diet pill for ages. Its impossible to without a prescription. Does anyone know where you can get it online without going to a doctor….please! I don’t have one right now. Dont want to get ripped off woudl liek a reliable source, really need to lose some weight and get a jump start asap!

Just started taking Phentermine, lost 4lbs. Been reading the comments, and now I now the cold hands and feet I have are down to the drug. Not sure if i will continue to take it, after reading about the woman who had a stoke down to it. Thought I would lose a bit more in my first week than that, been doing a bit of exercise too.

I have taken Phentermine off and on for about 7 years. I have tried all three doses. I feel it does its job. Most people that I know that have taken it lose weight. I experienced most of the common side effects listed. But I will warn you it does loss it effect after awhile and it is very hard to get off of. It has been linked to high blood pressure and heart attacks. I am thin enough now that my doc won’t prescribe it to me and I will admit I have looked at the online versions claiming to be phentermine. But they make me to nervous.
My advice is if you want to take phentermine go to the doctor and get a check up. A female doctor may be easier to relate to when it comes to battling weight loss. I would also request the 37.5mg and cut them in half. They seem to have a greater effect than the 15 and 30mg and a 30 day supply will last you 60 days. Those of you who claimed it didn’t work were probably on to low of a dose.(trust me, the 15 mg did nothing for me) Also call around to different pharmacies for the price. I used to get the 37.5(generic version) for $19.99.
For those of you who say it lost its effect(and aren’t experiencing any harmful side effects) I have heard mixing phentermine and prozac will have a long lasting effect. But you should talk to your doctor to learn more about that. And please remember it can be really addicting!

I found phentermine to be perfect. After begging my doctor approval on the lap band; she declined and decided to send me to a nutristionist and prescribed phentermine. In combination those two worked perfectly together. I weighed in at 220lbs. My nutristionist taught me how and what to eat. I found that all I needed was 1600 calories per day. If I wanted to lose weight I had to cut back a little more, in which I did.Phentermine helped me to retrain my body to eat less. After 3 months my body was use to eating smaller portions and I no longer needed phentermine. Iwas losing 18-10lbs per month. Six months later I was down to 135 lbs. I think phentermine helped me to make it over to the other side. There was an annoying side affect, which was dry mouth but, it will make you drink a lot of water. You must keep water with you.

I took it for three months and did not loose any weight, din’t gain any thank goodness! Waste of time and money. I need to shed 75 lbs, feeling kinda hopeless.

I was 150lbs when I started taking this pills. They were Great at frist. I didn’t feel hungry then later it wore off. Two weeks on it I was 8lbs lighter and by the end of one month I had lost 13lbs. I don’t know where did you buy your pills but I only paid $17 at the time at Walmart pharmacy 2008, then it went up to almost $30. My doctor told me it was less at Sams $20 but I was taking the Generic. I did get results for the first two months then it was as if I wasn’t taking anything. It took over 7 months to go from 150 to 120 but I did get the results. My 23 year old sister got her final results in less time less then 4months from 160lb to 123, also generic, my mom 45yrs old on the other hand was 130lbs and only lost 5 lb her first month on generic. The 2nd month she decided to do Brand and result was 1 lb. A big dissapointment for her since she paid close to $50 double the price and less the result. She stopped. I guess it just depends on how your body reacts to it. I can’t say I was too dissaponted since 1 pill a day and $20 a month didn’t seem to bad!! ….Oh but wait a year later which is today I have so far gained 10 lbs I am not 130lbs. Need to loose 10 more lbs. I wonder if my Doctor will prescribe me more!

The last time I asked my Dr for a RX for phentermine, she said she would not prescribe anyone something that put’s their life at risk. Although these reviews are mostly positive, when you look at the side effects and talk to Dr’s that are not out for your money, you will see the truth clearly. I had tried to take the product before and had such severe headaches that I thought my head would explode. That was within the 1st 4 days. This is only one of the side effects. It will also elevate your blood pressure, make your heat race and is addictive. I had to mention the drug when taking a drug test for work because it is an amphetamine and will show as a narcotic in your blood. THE RISKS DOES NOT OUTWEIGH THE BENEFITS!! LIVE YOUR LIFE! DON’T GIVE YOUR LIFE FOR TEMPORARY WEIGHT LOSS!

Phentermine really does work but you need to get it to work WITH you. My calorific intake was close to 3500 a day! My starting weight was 266lbs!!! I was started on the 15mg dose just to get my body used to it. My Doc advised i stick to 1000 calories. Yes i have dry mouth but it just means you drink lots more water which can’t be that bad for you! In 4 months i lost 70lbs! Then the weight loss seems to be slowing down, so my Doctor upped the dose to 30mg and another 3 months later i had lost 38lbs! I did have to follow some of the following tips though: always keep a bottle of water with you. Take the pill as soon as you rise in the morning. A couple of hours later maybe have a cereal bar, some fruit, and a yoghurt(slow burning energy release). I then will not eat again until i have dinner with my husband aroung 6pm. You do not have to do LOADS of exercise but it is true that once you start you cannot seem to stop. That also goes for cleaning the house. You’ll start wiping down the kitchen surfaces and before you know it you will be clearing out the cupboards!!! My home has never been so clean. Take yourself out for a walk to, even if its just to the end of the street and back, or take the dogs out if you have any. I will have a 2 week break from them after every 3 months but seriously, they do work. I chose to get them from my Doc because he monitors my weight, height, blood pressure and cholestorol levels too.

Great pill to start!!! You gotta keep movin to maintain weight!!

if you order from “phentermine.com”…u will “get” phentIRIMIne. not phentERMine….there “IS” a difference. phentermine.com sells a pill thru a company called LabQ2 thats equivilent to what u get in the grocery store, only LabQ2 charges 4X’s as much!! so dont order from phentermine.com/LabQ2!!! if thats what you want, just save yourself some money, and go to the grocery store!!!

I started phentremine in july of 2008, and by august, i had lost 13 lbs.The second month i had lost 12 lbs.I started out weighing 286 lbs, and two months ago i weighed 233 lbs.the pills suppressed my appetite and gave me energy.My docter explained to me that the pills only suppress my appetite but, the real work comes from me.He explained the importance of doing any kind of cardio(power walking, running, swimming, bike riding, etc)for 30-45 minutes, 5 days a week to lose weight, and 3 days a week to maintain weight.He told me don’t worry about counting calories but, stay clear of softdrinks,candy,potatoechips,etc.(Bad Carbs.)Substitute sweets for more fruits and vegetables. Busy people like myself, must prepare light meals for work for the next day.Last but, not least, portion size, and cutoff eating by 8pm.If you have a craving get a piece of fruit to cure the cravings.If you get in the habit of practicing these things now while on the pill, then by the time you get off, it will feel more natural to your body.Now i’m off the pills, and i still practing these methods.I’ll be sure to keep you all updated.

I took this when I was in my 30’s and it worked…. will the effects be the same now that I am 50? When I am not hungry I have no problem not eating between meals…. willing to work just can’t stand the way my tummy feels when it is empty. Paula

I love this pill, I’ve been taking it since Jan 09, and lost 29 pounds. My weight was so out of control and I needed to get a handle on it. This pill has helped me get in control. The effectiveness wears off after about three months, but by that time you have developed a good eating habit and know what you need to do to maintain your weight. I exercise on a regular basis and watch what I eat. I have no desire to go out and eat a big mac, instead I look for what is filling and
health foods. Anyone who is serious about being healhty and need a little motivation; this is the pill for you!!!!

I took Phentermine and it made me feel real good cause i lost alot of weight and feel better of myself.

It’s great if you realize you have to eat. Exercise does help by hey if you exercise you don’t need the pills. Yes they have side effects once again that is up to you and how important you weight loss is. Don’t stay on them long term, regardless of how good they are working. Do a month and wing yourself off them don’t go cold turkey. Take b12 pills to boost you during this time. Skip a month and go back to them. Don’t totally depend on them do some walking women you like to shop walk the mall or longer distance from your car. I weighed 178/size 14 now am 139/size 6/8 i’m short so that’s good for me but I still have to exercise :) walk when I shop. If I gain 10 I get back on and monitor myself. You have to work at everything.
