I went to the doctor because I was at the end of my rope. I felt like I was in prison. I haven't been able to lose weight since the birth of my child 8 yrs. ago. I had my gall bladder removed 1 1/2 yrs ago. Having that removed caused more complications, not being able to eat a normal portion of food without it causing massive stomach pains and the runs..

I went to the doctor because I was at the end of my rope. I felt like I was in prison. I haven't been able to lose weight since the birth of my child 8 yrs. ago. I had my gall bladder removed 1 1/2 yrs ago. Having that removed caused more complications, not being able to eat a normal portion of food without it causing massive stomach pains and the runs.. So! for over a year, not eating alot with excerise, you would think I would start losing. Ha! Like I started saying . Went to the doctor and he did blood work and everything check out fine. I now think I'll be fat for the rest of my life! Instead, he put me on this wonderful, helpful, energizing key to get out of my prison. I have been taking it for 2 1/2 months now. I have gone from a size 20 to a 12. I don't have a clue how many pounds I've lost because I don't really care. That scale is always the death of me. I can be in a good mood and step on it and it will literally ruin my whole day. Forget it! not doing it this time. All I know is that I can cross my legs now. Jump out of bed. Keep up with my 8 year old and have enough energy to make it to bed. Side effects...I agree with the others. Dry mouth at times is awful. Keep something to drink around at all times. Along with a box of Tic Tacs! I feel like I've been given a second chance to be healthy!!! Thank you Lord!

This prescription works very well, but it does effect your sleep patterns. If you can learn to change the way you eat you can take this for 3-6 months and loss weight then get off of it and maintain.

I have been taking it for 2.5 months now and I have recently began to experience pounding heart, shortness of breath, and I have totally loss my interest in sex. I am going to tell my doc this week because although I have lost 17 lbs, I dont know if the marriage issues are worth it. Maybe he will perscribe me something else.

I have taken phentermine now for 5 weeks and I have lost 25 pounds. I wasn't severely overweight but I needed to lose my baby weight. It makes me generally happy, my energy levels have risen and it makes excercise much more enjoyable. The only side effect that I really experience is cotton mouth.

I have taken phentermine now for 5 weeks and I have lost 25 pounds. I wasn't severely overweight but I needed to lose my baby weight. It makes me generally happy, my energy levels have risen and it makes excercise much more enjoyable. The only side effect that I really experience is cotton mouth. The only thing that bothers me is the fact that I don't ever want to eat. I have to force myself to eat and when I do, I get so sick I want to throw up. So I went almost a month without eating an actual meal. This month has started out better however.

I have taken this drug before with great results lost 80 lbs. Only side effect I have noticed is dry mouth, I have to keep a bottle of water with me at all times.
