This pill has only made me hungrier. I was previously on Adipex and Topamax for weight loss and lost 52 pounds. But now that i'm on Bontril I feel like Im only going to gain it back =[

I have lost about a pound everyday for a month. I’m eating what I am supposed to in the process! Hard part was I cut out bread and pasta Lol. Other than that, the only side effect has been hard to sleep. Not sure why I can’t seem to be tired. I’m so tired during the day but up all night it’s like a new habit since this medicine.

This medication works but be careful. Because I was eating less food I wasn't replenishing my vitamins and minerals as quick as I was burning through them. I ended up being hospitalized overnight because I started having symptoms for very low potassium and calcium which can cause heart arrhythmia among other things. I also experienced restlessness and rapid heartbeat while on it.

I do not know what's wrong with my system. But I have noticed that the medication isn't working for me at all. The ease of use, was simple. I have not felt the "effectiveness", even when I paid close attention to what I was feeling in my stomach. Regardless how I had taken the medicine, it wasn't working for me. I had to struggle to not to over eat, that was harder than exercise.

I have only been using this medicine for a couple of days and so far seems to be working except for my legs itching which I am not sure is related to the medicine.

This drug is pretty amazing. I went from 218 lbs to 190 lbs in 7 weeks. It slashed my appetite so I just eat once a day most of the time. I definitely am having some side effects including the shakes, aggression, strong heart beats , and increased sex drive.

This has been a miracle drug for me. In the first 27 days of use, I lost 20lbs. with no side effects. It helped decrease my appetite and provided me with loads of energy.

this worked great for me while I was on it. However, since I've been off, I've gained all my weight back. It's very discouraging. I want to take it again, but the more I read about it the less likely I am to go back on it. I was on this for almost 2 years and everything I've said states no long term use. I'm concerned about long term affects of this.

well I have been on all of the diet medications and I am immune to all of them. Phen/fen was the only one that worked,so I figure I could handle this one. After 3 weeks of being on it, my blood pressure sky rocketed and I am dizzy beyond belief. So I stopped the medication and will see next week if I need to follow up with a cardiologist.

I have been taking Bontril for 6 weeks now and it has been wonderful! I have lost 12 lbs so far and looking forward to dropping more. I have plenty of energy throughout the day but no jitters. The only problem I have with it is my sex drive has diminished quite a bit.

This was my miracle drug. For the first time in my life, that part of my brain that kept telling me I was hungry after having just eaten final stopped. However, the first time I took one dose, I was awake for two days and nights. It caused constant feelings of anxiety and I started getting heart palpitations, but I considered that a small price for the 20 pounds I lost. However, I have not taken this medication for over a year and I still have those palpitations which I now have to take medication to control.Read More Read Less
