User Reviews for diethylpropion oral

I eat in response to stress. This has caused me to feel stressful. My doctor recommended that I cut the pill in half and take it twice a day. I have gained weight and developed TMJ.

I am just starting this medication and have read many of the reviews. I did take phentermine for quite some time and the results were amazing but the heart palpations were terrible. No matter how early I took it, I was still wide awake at night. My doctor said that diethylpropion is more cardio friendly than phentermine. I am starting on the 25 mg tablets 3 times a day so I can judge if they will keep me awake...and also if I experience the heart palpations. I plan on easing myself into this. The phentermine just made me stop eating. I only ate once a day - no exercise. Of course, as soon as I stopped taking them the weight slowly crept back on. I would like to be more careful with these diet pills and make a habit of eating better so when I do stop, I can keep it off. Good luck everyone!!! Read More Read Less

I was previously on phentermine and saw little results so Dr changed to this. When I saw all the posts I was very excited, but so far have not seen much of a change in about 6 weeks. Dont get your hopes up, cuz it is hard to bounce back if it doesnt work. I have been working out at least three times a week and monitoring what I eat. I go back to the Dr in a week I will have to wait and see what she says. I wish it would have been as easy for me as other people made it out to be.

Second day on this med. and i am not hungry, or even thinking about food. I take one 75 mg at 7:00am and i make myself eat a slice of rasin bread around 10am. i do have a mild headache all day, took bc powder early this morning before headache came, and havnet had one yet. I want to lose 10 pounds, and am very excited i dont have the muchies at all! Will let you know how its gong in a few more day, with an update on what i have lost.

Day 2 .. I'm feeling very happy so far. Not hungry nor jittery...So far sooo good. I take 75mg once a day so I take it at 10am. Went to bed around 10:30pm. Will update as I go...

amazing!! lost 20 pounds in 2 months...still on it and feelin great! start at 160 now 140...i look great!

While I haven't experienced any side effects using this drugs, I have found it pretty ineffective at controlling appetite so far. I've been taking it for a week and still find myself hungry most days. I have taken phentermine in the past and found it much more effective. My doctor gave me this drug because I have borderline blood pressure.

I have been on this medication for almost 3 months and, during my dr visit this morning, I just found out that I've lost 31 pounds! The first few days were an adjustment period. I felt a little light-headed and hyper for 3 or 4 days. After that, I felt fine. Cravings were curbed as were the late afternoon, early evening munchies. I took 75 mg once a day. I had to experiment with the time a little. If I took it too early in the morning, it didn't work as well for me. I take it at about 10:30 every morning now. I"ve very happy that my doctor suggested this medication.Read More Read Less

dry mouth

I have only been using for 1 week. I previously had gastric bypass in 2003 but slowly gained back some of the weight due to over eating and pregnancy. I find that just in the first week of using this drug that my hunger has curbed signifigantly and my enery has also increased. I take 25MG 1/2 before each meal 3 times a day. I have also noticed that I am more thirsty so my water consumption has increased. No other side effects thus far. Haven't been on the scale yet to see if there has been weight loss, but am looking forward to it at my next doctor's visit.Read More Read Less

I have been taking this drug for 2 weeks and have lost 12 lbs with no excercise. I do plan to walk on my treadmill going forward, but what a boost after only 2 weeks! My doc also has be taking a diuretic and b12 shots since is a a drug that works on the CNS. I highly suggest the diuretic which reduces the increased blood pressure this pill causes.

i started this drug with hopes of helping me lose weight and I have been on it for 2 weeks, eating 3 meals a day, but watching calorie intake and I have already lost 20lbs. The best thing out there and I have tried everything short of gastric bypass.

Only took 25 mg in the morning for a couple of days and got intense heart palpitations and my blood pressure skyrocketed. Any one else get these side affects? Thank you.

I have been on the 75mg/day pill for 3 weeks now and have lost 20lbs w/o exercise. No side effects I can complain about, except keeping me up until 2am almost daily. What this drug does is get rid of your munchies. I normally eat less then 1000 calories a day now and I feel great! I have more energy too! It feels like this is how you should have always felt about food but couldn't do by your self. If anything its a motivation tool for me. I can honestly say I would never go back to eating the way I did. Read More Read Less

After taking this med for only 4 weeks I have lost 17 pounds!!!! I don't really do any exercising. I just mainly take the pill and count calories. I go back to the doctor in another 4 weeks and hopefully by then my weight goal will be met!

I lost 14 lbs in two months. With patience, this drug does work. It REALLY does stop a lot of food cravings and, as one other reviewer stated, it makes you forget about food. You can eat what you want, but I noticed that, even when it was something I thought I wanted, I ate very little and pushed it away. With faithful dieting and exercising, this drug would be very effective. I have been off the drug for about 4 months now. The cravings are back, and so is the weight (and then some).

I have only been on it for a week, but it stop ALL of the nibbling. I`m not jitter. I`m not going to step on the scale till I go to the doctor. But I feel good. now just waiting for the pounds to fall off., I am walking and biking to boot!! good luck all!
