I started my diet on April 1st of 2009 and it is now july 1st and I have lost 47 pounds, only 3 months! At first the pills did make me jittery and hyper, they still make me a bit hyper but it could be energy from dropping all the weight. After the first week on the pills the side effects went away and I am perfectly fine. Sometime's I forget to take the pill, but in the long run, it helps with my ...

It's extremely dangerous to assume that any pill you take will ever replace physical activity, since the only drugs to successfully accomplish that task are always legal forms of methamphetamine. This substance has strange side effects, which may be caused by being mixed with other medications makes people act like junkies and physically harm others. I've found these pill bottles twice, appearing in odd containers with labels that could be printed from anywhere so I question if this isn't mislabeled but it's always listed as Phendimetrazine. Those I've witnessed who have been addicted to these pills also take anti-depressants and pain killers which contain acetaminophen and tend to get extremely violent if they go without the pills. I've questioned if sleeping habits cause this, as they tend to sleep or stay awake for days, but in both cases where I found a person hiding these pills they had similar symptoms to those who are on hallucinogens. One day they act normal, the next day they're finding places to hide and at times they basically appear to act demon possessed. While I still believe it may be a combination of other medications (like mixing drugs or alcohol) this is a very frightening thing to witness. They also do not lose weight at all, most tend to be overweight, but it's promoted as some diet pill to them. In both of these causes the drug has been used between 15 and over 20 years, there is something dangerously wrong with this drug.Read More Read Less

I took this pill twice in my life. First time from April 2013 until July 2013. Then I had to stop because I had gotten pregnant with my daughter. It worked wonders! I freaking loved it! I lost 60pds. in 3 months. No side effect what so ever. After I gave birth to my daughter, I gained some weight back with the pregnancy so I wanted to go back on them. The first refill I got, I broke out on my palms BAD! My hands swelled up and I has hives that turned into blisters. Needless to say it was very hard to take care of a newborn with blistery hands. I had to stop taking them.Read More Read Less

My husband has been taking this drug for 2 months now and is almost done. He denies mood swings, but i cannot tell you how excited I will be when he is back to himself again. Moody, attitude changes and only 18 pounds lost in 2 months with diet and exercise changes as well.

If you are overweight and in good health this is the medicine you need! The appetite suppressing effects that this medicine has is unbelievable and that was my main problem with losing weight. I always always overate at meals and then snacked constantly on junk food throughout the day. The amount of calories I consumed in a day was probably twice the "suggested" amount. When I take phendimetrazine it completely stifles that hungry feeling that made me graze all day long and the boost of energy really keeps you moving. You won't be able to sit still, which is great!

Started taking phendimetrazine last Tuesday...opted to be part of a study that a friend of mine told me about. I'm 5'9, 144lbs - by no means overweight. Yet, I was trying to shed just 10-15lbs to get back down to the weight I once loved and felt my best at. 2 a day/hour before meals. First day it surpressed my appetite and I was more than a little surprised - thought I hit the jackpot, as I am the queen of snacking throughout the day. 2nd and 3rd day didn't work as well as the first, 4th and 5th day worked good again. Now I'm on my 7th day and today it hardly worked. Not sure what all the back and forth is about because I haven't done anything different. I will say that I've dropped 4lbs in the past week, but I'm also taking water pills :/Read More Read Less

I started this drug March 17 with a starting weight of 227. I take the 35mg tablets....2 tablets... 3 times a day. I also am trying to stay around 1200 calories and day and do at least 30 minutes of cardio at least 4-5 days a week. In 5 weeks I have lost 17 pounds. I have tried other diet pills in the past but I feel this one works best for me. Have not really had any side effects. If you are ready to limit your calorie intake and commit to exercising this pill should work great for you.....it has for me!!!! Read More Read Less

When taking this drug along with a low calorie diet I was able to lose 15% of my weight in a 4 month period.

If anything this medication has made me more lethargic and caused increase weight gain. I take 35 mg 2 times daily and never experienced any appetite suppressing qualities or increased metabolic reactions. Is this a placebo?

I started my diet on April 1st of 2009 and it is now july 1st and I have lost 47 pounds, only 3 months! At first the pills did make me jittery and hyper, they still make me a bit hyper but it could be energy from dropping all the weight. After the first week on the pills the side effects went away and I am perfectly fine. Sometime's I forget to take the pill, but in the long run, it helps with my cravings and how much food I do eat. My stomach has shrank and my portions are a lot smaller, but this is also in good aid of my weight lose programm, I am under supervision and I beleive not only is it the pills but the low carb, fat and exercise as well. This is most improtant otherwise like any diet or diet aid once you get off and you eat like you used to, it will come back. Anyone taking this pill must know that if given it, it is because they are basically considered morbid obese, the pills is a miracle drug but YOU HAVE TO know that your diet is going to be changed forever, otherwise once off it, the weight will come back. It is the best jump start I have ever had, since I have tried my whole life just to loose some weight, in three months I have lost half of my dream weight goal! Drink A LOT of water, A LOT!And best used under supervision, most clinics or places that provide this medication give you a blood test and EKG before administering the pill to its patients. Other than that, I love them and am glad I was introduced to them! They are a miracle for me!Read More Read Less

I've been taking this diet pill for about 20 days now. I take 1 pill at 10:00 am 105mg amd then another at 3:00 pm 35mg. The only thing that I've noticed is I get headaches occassionally and my best friend said she has noticed that I am not myself. I'm usually an upbeat person, but she says I'm kind ho hum lately. Anybody else have these symptoms and what kind of success rate are you guys getting from this diet pill?

The first time i used it i did lose weight, about 20 lbs in 2 months. I tried using it again after 3 months and the first few days it worked great but then it seemed to lose its effectiveness after a month or so on it. Side effects were thirst, anxiety (made me want to smoke!)and insomnia. Overall it worked but only short term and can be sort of addicting because when i would miss a day i would feel something was missing in my body...this is my last month. I weigh 177.

I had went on Weight watchers and lost 70 pounds with diet alone. I started slipping around October 08 and over the holidays, gained back 25 pounds. I was sick with myself. I weighed 245 in the beginning and lost down to 175. I tried so hard to get back on track but, I just could not control my hunger cravings at all. I was so disgusted with myself that I ate even more. So, I went to a docter and got these pills and so far I have been hunger free. I can't believe how easy it is to say no to ice cream and cakes. Do not even want it. I do have dry mouth but, I am willing to live with that. I have only been on them 1 week and have lost 10 pounds so far. I am in love with the results and am looking forward to seeing 175 again. Hopefully I will get to see 150 one day, which is my ideal weight that I haven't been since high school. I would definately recommend this drug to anyone that needs to lose weight.
