I have lost almost 50 pounds 5 months (size 18 to a size 4). I fully believe I wouldn't have been this successful without this drug. I NEVER diet because I have no will-power, but this medication allowed me to stick with my diet EVEN THROUGH THE HOLIDAYS! Not only do I feel like it curbed by appetite, I also think it dulls cravings. Since the drug is so effective at curbing your hunger, you do ne...

This prescription has been a game changer. I have not experienced and side effects and have been making much better choices of what to eat. I have lost more than 30 pounds and only have a few more to go to get to my target weight.

This was supposed to be an appetite suppressant, but I was still as hungry as I always was. It may have helped me from eating such large portions but that might also be part to me forcing myself from those portions at times. I usually eat 1-2 times a day because I work nights, but they are large portions. I've lost 10 lbs. in a month and I rarely took this medication. I still have 17 days worth of it. I can't quite say if it works or not. But strong will has for sure.

I have read all the reviews and was excited to finally have something that everyone said would help to lose weight. I have been on this 3 x a day no side effect at all. But I have not lost one pound taking them. I will stay on for a month to see if I lose anything. I work out and play tennis and still nothing is helping. So I am a little disappointed with this drug.

I started taking Phendimetrazine 35mg 2 x's a day along with Fentyl 10 mg at night on April 1, 2015. I weighed in on April 27th, 2015 and had lost a total of 14.5 lbs. I'm still on the 1000 calorie diet and taking the medications as prescribed. I go back to the doctor next week (1 week early due to holiday) to weigh in...I'm excited to see how much I lost this time. No side effects for me and I'm able to sleep fine since beginning medications. Lots of energy too. It takes a lot of will power to not eat or feed the sweet tooth in the first few weeks. Now I'm 6 weeks in and applesauce or sugar-free jello is enough to satisfy my sweet tooth which is very seldom. Read More Read Less

I have tried everything to lose weight. Spent a couple thousand on exercise equipment, watch what I eat but still couldn't lose weight. I was prescribed these pills plus thyroid pill to boost my metabolism in June 2014. I weighed in today and officially down 52 pounds. I have more energy to exercise. My appetite us under control so I do not eat as much. I would recommend these to any one that can take them safely. I am 34yrs old starting weight 300 now down to 248. Amazing.

As part of a weight loss plan along with B-12 shots and watching what I eat. I've always been active but after menopause put on pounds. This has been great - lost most of the weight, have energy, and mood is better. Does sometimes wake me up at night - I take slow release capsule. Other than that, no problems. I see my Doc every week for the shots, so monitored well.

I have been taking this drug for a little over 6 weeks and have lost 16 pounds! I absolutely love this as the phentermine wasn't working for me anymore and was at the end of my rope. I was dieting to the point of starving myself and still not losing weight but this pill has been a miracle for me. My doctor and I are very happy with the results I'm having. I still have about 50 more pounds to lose but I can do it with this pill!

I haven't been taking this med for very long. Just a week or so, but I have noticed increased energy. Which happens to make me more cheerful too. One side effect that I haven't read on other reveiws is green poop. And it has to be the med cus i haven't overly eatten anything green. I dunno...anyone else have that issue? other than that I like it.

I started 3 months ago needing to lose 50 lbs. My blood pressure was 150/100 with medication. Now, 3 months later, using this medication and restricting my diet to high protein, low carbs – low calories – I am within 5 lbs of my target. It has been easy actually. And my blood pressure – using only half the medication previously used – is 120/80 range. I have had a couple of side-effects...One is constipation. You need to drink plenty of water. The other is erectile dysfunction. Never really dealt with that before – but I am assuming it is the effects of the pills (at least I hope it is). I guess I will find out in a couple of weeks when I go into maintenance mode..Other than that – my experience has been overall very positive...Read More Read Less

This med is great it has helped me lose 1.5 to 2 pounds a week without feeling any side-affects. I am now focused on living the rest of my life healthy.

my starting weight was 200lbs and now way 175, I started taking the med in October but had to stop a wk or 2 into it, due having to have my gall bladder removed (which had NOTHING to do with this med, it had been bother some for years). I then started this med again in January and was still around 200lbs. I stayed on the med, did not exercise and lost 30lbs. around May i stopped this med in May (because it is a short term med- 6 months at a time). I did not have any major side effects just found it hard to sleep if i took it after 4pm. i usually only took 2 in AM and 2 at lunch time and watched my diet, reduced my fat in-take a lot. I was able to keep my weight around 175-179 and decided that i wanted to go back on it, and have been on it since 7/6/10 and have not lost very much. I think i am going to switch to Phentermine and see if it works for me. I would like to get to 150 where i feel comfortable being able to maintaine my own weght with out taking a pill.

I started taking this drug in October. I take three pills a day at 35 mg. each. I love it. It helps curve my appetite. I had first started taking my pills only on my work days; I work 12 hour shifts. i found that I would eat more on my days off. I was still losing my target weight every month, but it scared me thinking I would only go back to eating after I got off this pill. I have lost 32lbs. and have 50 more to go.

I've been taking this for about 6 weeks now and I've lost 25 pounds. I've cut out all sodas and drink only water and hit the gym at least 3 days a week. I'm so excited to see such great results in such little time.

i have taken these pills before and love them. I went to a clinic and got these pills under supervision. I had some side effects in the begining like anxiety and the jitters but after a week they wore off. They did always make me hyper though, I have a low tolerance for stimulants. Needless to say, I saw a review where someone was scared to ween off the pills and I wanted to say that because the clinic got to prioy for me, I had to ween myself off. I went from 6 35mg pills a day to three than two then none.. I was SO scared about gaining it back, I continued to watch somewhat of what I ate.. I was a bad girl... but I also worked out like a mad women. Originally I lost 60 pounds in 4 months.. I have always been over weight and did not want to gain anything back becuase I planned on going back tot he clinic. I went back today and only gained 4 pounds but lost 2.5 percent body fat... So i lost inches! I am now back no the pills and more excited than ever! I love being able to know I am going to lose weight and feel awesome about it! These pills worked wonders for me!Read More Read Less
