Phentermine Reviews

Since it is an appetite suppressant I hardly feel hungry. 1st week after taking Phentermine, I experienced severe dry mouth and bad breath. There was a day I didn't realized I drank about 4L and I had muscles cramps and felt very tired due to mineral lost. I kept going to the toilet as I pee a lot. The whole week I had trouble sleeping, felt lightheaded and nausea. No appetite but super thirsty. I don't crave for anything but good thing was I still have energy. So I mostly do minor workout. I lost 4kg the 1st week. Probably lose all the water weight. I had other side effects like minor depression, headache and sometimes I felt like vomiting. Almost give up taking it on the 2nd week but glad that I kept it going until 1 month. To be honest, I don't like what I felt when I took the medicine. I felt healthier without it. But it truly shows weight reduction. After the 3rd week, my weight was 84kg. I lose 6kg in just 3 weeks.

After 30 days, I decided not to consume it anymore... I experienced the withdrawal of Phentermine effects about 2 days. I was super tired but that's it. No more lightheaded, dry mouth, nausea, insomnia. I sleep better. So I keep eating low carbs diet, exercise regularly and maintain to drink at least 2.5L a day and I still lose weight. I'm glad I don't have to being dependable on the drug anymore. 4 months without Phentermine my weight now is 72kg. 6kg to go to reach my goal!

What I wanna say here is that Phentermine is good for you to kick start your change of lifestyle if you never been on any strict diet before. It helps to train your body to endure low carb intake while provide you energy. Yes, the side effects are very unpleasant to me. Never in my life I felt such suffering. I regret letting myself gained weight in the 1st place. Never take this medicine for long term as it can be addictive and dangerous. If you experience severe headache please stop taking it and consult to your doctor as this medicine may trigger high blood pressure and other health problems. It's safer if you take it about a month and keep going fit without it then. As side effects may varies according to individual, you can do more research about this medicine. Good luck to you! May you achieved your desired weight and be healthy!

Parts of the day felt like “couch lock” that you get when smoking certain strains of **. You know you need to get up to drink, go to bathroom, etc. but can’t move unless you absolutely have to. This is only a good thing when you want to feel this way! I just came if HCG diet and was concerned about overeating. This drug is not the way to go! It could’ve been a bad reaction to absorption rate due to HCG, I don’t know. But no drug is worth this much despair and pain! This was first day first dose of Phentermine. Never again.

Not long after my husband got home he suggested I go lay down. The headache was so intense I was crying in pain, and vomiting. I should have gone to the ER, but I didn’t have a way there and felt too sick to drive myself. I think my blood pressure was dangerously high, I’m lucky I didn’t have a stroke or heart attack. I stopped after one day; only half a pill. I would have liked for it to work, but at this point I wish I had never taken it.

As I watched 20 lbs drop, I added in the ** at 37.5 mg per day. Huge difference after that. I felt energized, alive, and positive in the process. I believe I have undiagnosed depression. Nothing extreme or dangerous, but it was enough that I felt tired all the time, no energy, and wanted to be locked in a dark room all the time. After starting phentermine, I feel what normal and happy has always looked like to me. I feel energized and full of life. I can get things done... chores around the house, errands, work, etc and it not be a struggle every day.

Now, a couple things here. Phentermine use requires a high water intake. About 7-8 bottled waters a day while on it. The dry mouth effect that many get while on this med is fixed with water. Dry mouth and less saliva production can create a breeding ground for tooth-decaying bacteria and if you are not drinking enough water, your dentist will be the tell all. Your teeth will show the problem, as in cavities and such. Hydrate! Not just for your teeth, but because your body needs it and especially while on this med.

Also be aware that phentermine will more than likely result in a false positive for amphetamines in a urinalysis. Depending on how much you use and how long you use it will determine how it will show on a test. I took a urine screen not 20 minutes ago after taking 37.5 mg of phentermine at about 7:30 am this morning. Faint line indicated that there was a presence of amphetamine in my system, but it was not enough to create a true false positive. I showed the RX bottle to the nurse to prove legal usage of this med and saw my "A" line... very faint, but present. Lack of line indicates a positive. My overall reading was negative. If you choose to use this med, please make your employer/drug tester aware of it, as it can be a career ender if you fail a test over a false positive.

Overall, I like Phentermine a lot. I feel better, inside and out. I am functional again, happy, positive, and productive. Do not overuse it, do not abuse it, do not fail to feed and hydrate your body. This is a medical supplement, not a magic bullet. Balance out your diet, hydrate, get exercise, rest, and this will change your life for the better.

Can anyone share some insight please? I'm worried this will last forever and I desperately want to have more children with my husband. But how can I if I live on laxatives? Sure enough these laxatives will hurt me even more so in the long run. I'm praying to god this goes back to normal. I am hating this every day. If anyone here is thinking about trying this, DON'T! Please. I only started this because my mother-in-law has been off and on it for years and I thought it would be great for me too. I only took this product for 4 weeks! I am terrified or what my life will be like if I can't fix this. If I can't have another baby I'm worried my husband will leave me and I love him so much.

The second day, I started to consume a lot of water and ate something small and healthy to prevent the same feeling again. Thereafter, it has suppressed my appetite and my late night cravings. I replaced my addiction of soda with water. I been on it on total so far 3 weeks. I do get really bad headaches/migraines even if I do eat and rarely constipation. So far I have shed 12 lbs and that is not counting this week (week 3) and last weight check-in of 196.3. If anyone interested, I do recommend seeing a doctor first and get blood work done to prevent interaction of medications or adverse side effects! Other than that, follow instructions and read side effects just to be in the know of allergic reactions. Best of luck, God bless.

My doctor told me I can take it forever. OK... I like it because I seriously think I struggled with mild ADHD and honestly, I take 1/2 a pill a day with my coffee in the morning and when I get to work (I'm a teacher) I am a MACHINE! I have so much energy, I'm not hungry, I'm super focused and my brain is so alive and sharp! I work hard all day and so when I get home, I wind down and by the time I go to bed, man I'm tired and I sleep like a baby!

I have lost 8-9 pounds, but I still can't seem to get to the ten pound mark. But hey, what's 1 silly pound. I'm happy. I will say that because of my knee injury, I've not been working out much and so I've lost some muscle in my legs. I plan to try some body pump classes to work on getting my muscle tone back and then maybe I'll actually lost that last pound. I've looked online about long term effects of using the drug, but I've not run across anything that look nefarious... yet. So, if you know of any, let me know!

Although I had zero appetite, my energy level was nonexistent. I felt completely withdrawn, I had terrible brain-fog, felt lethargic and completely unmotivated. I didn't want to talk to anyone; I would find myself staring into space like a zombie. I felt nauseated, light headed, dizzy, had headaches. It was the most miserable week of my life. I could barely work, could NOT sleep (even though I was exhausted, the pills kept me up at night, ALL night) and was fighting with my partner and crying about everything he did or didn't do!

Normally I am a very positive and happy person but during the week I was on Phentermine, I felt horrible... almost **. Nothing made me happy, I was convinced my partner didn't love me, that I was useless, that I had no reason to live. I turned into a total nutcase. Even though I lost 4 pounds within the first few days, by the time the week was over, I stopped taking the drug. I am feeling so much better in the few days since stopping this medication. I feel in control of my emotions again and my mood is once again bright and sunny. I would urge anyone who takes this medication to watch your emotions closely and make sure you don't experience the side effects that I did. Bottom line -- be careful. Although this medication curbs your appetite, it also concerns me.

Fast forward a few days from that event, lots of pain, massive fever, went to the doctor to get told I had an infection and that had I not gone sooner I’ve would of gone into septic shock. My relationship started to fall apart, I had a bad split with my then bf, mainly his mom did not like me and low key did things to cause trouble so I’d leave (they were Jewish I wasn’t. I got hewed). He kept my things hostage in his apartment in another City. I flew back home. Things were pretty nasty.

Anyways. I'm 5’5 and I weighed 120 lbs on freshmen year college. By the time I got pregnant I was hitting close to 160 lbs. the whole pregnancy thing and all the meds I took to control the infection ** up my metabolism big time. I was riding 4-6 horses a day plus working out religiously. I was trying to eat as healthy as possible and I could not drop the pounds at all. I wasn’t necessarily obese, I was just thick and my body fat just refusing to go.

I was exhausted and in disbelief by how hard it got to lose weight when my body had normally fluctuated a few pounds here and there. My jeans wouldn’t fit, I wasn’t happy with my look, I felt ugly, but most importantly my current body shape was a reminder of all that fiasco with my ex and I just couldn’t really bare to be constantly reminded and frustrated. To the point I did consider lipo just to attack the stubborn areas, mostly inner thoughts and for the first time in my life, belly area. That’s how desperate I was after 6 months of trying my very best to eat clean, do weights, cardio etc.

Finally a friend introduced me to Phentermine. I have ADHD and used to take ** for it. I lost ridiculous amounts of weight on it and suffered bad anxiety to the point I was scratching my arm raw and a part of my head bald. It got me through college but I quit as soon as I finished finals to never take it again. So Phentermine is somewhat on the same family group and I already had an idea of how I reacted to **. I did extensive research before I started it. I had no medical provider supervise any of this. As expected I got hot flashes, dry mouth, had muscle cramps, my entire back ached, I had problems going to the bathroom, my heartbeat was accelerated and I could not sleep.

I made sure that during the time I took this med I had sleeping aids such as melatonin to counteract that effect, I also had vitamins and supplements that I started taking before and after Phen. I was not hungry at all, I could pass up a slice of pizza and go for the healthier meal option. I had control over my cravings and that was worth every single ugly side effect I had to go through. Everyone’s tolerance differs, some people are more sensitive. Side effects for me on a scale from 1-10 were probably a 6-7, and I have a high pain/tolerance threshold. I just felt sick the first two weeks and I even skipped taking Phen a few days to give my body a break and would lower the dose to half. If the cravings got unbearable I’d take a half a pill. I made sure that during those first weeks I did not have a thing major going on, so I would not overwhelm my body and myself with everything.

You need to listen to your body and be aware of how you feel. Most of the side effects faded after week 2 and I felt a lot better. But others remained, I was very productive and efficient, also extremely sad, but I already knew that these meds do cause these problems. So I did not let it take over. I’d just cry the feeling out till it got better, I knew how to counteract the sadness by hanging out with friends or going out on a walk with my dogs. I was pretty good at catching it before it snowballed into bad sadness. Then those side effects started to fade as well. I could eat while on Phen, the difference is that I had complete power over how much and what I ate. It felt so great.

Phentermine gets five stars because it changed my life. Sounds dramatic. I exactly don’t know how much weight I lost because I never kept track. I did lose inches and fat %. For the first time in over a year I fit into my old clothes and I can actually rock a bathing suit better than I ever had before. My metabolism is finally back to how it was. I am able to get away with a cheat meal and It won’t go directly to my waist, whereas before, I’d just get all bloated and felt big after having a slice of pizza for example. It’s refreshing and it’s motivated me to keep going.

It’s also helped with my ADHD. Wish this med could be taken long term. It’s effect on my hunger lessened at around 2 months, but it still helped with my ADHD. It’s like ** but without the crippling depression and harrowing anxiety attacks. I’d take one in the morning and by night my sleep was back and I was so on top of everything.

I am so happy I ran into Phen because I was really close to getting lipo. That’s how desperate I was. I am so happy by how my body changed. This pill works, but at a cost. I feel the side effects were worth every single bit for the results I got and money I saved. Please be very informed and mindful of your body before you take Phen. Go one step at a time and take recommended dose to get a mild feel of where you are at and gradually Increase it. Don’t go from 0 to 30+mg right off the bat.

Understand how your body and metabolism work and do not just starve yourself. Avoid muscle mass loss by trying to eat meals high in protein and low in fat/carbs, as well as having the right supplements at hand. Be smart about it. You will lose the fat as long as you remain under your caloric deficit. If you starve yourself you will lose muscle mass before your fat. Hope this helps.

I will begin by describing my first symptoms: On February 2, 2018 I began to have symptoms of dizziness, rapid heart beat, chest pain and nausea. I went to my local ER. I told them I was on Phentermine. They gave me a chest x-ray, did blood work, ran an EKG then told me I had anxiety and sent me home with **. On the evening of 2/4/18 I developed binocular diplopia in addition to my remaining symptoms of dizziness and nausea. I went back to the ER 2/5/18. A CT without contrast was administered. I was treated for Benign Paroxysmal Vertigo and sent home.

On 2/7/18 I went back to the ER because I developed a severe headache in addition to the dizziness, nausea and binocular diplopia. I was treated for migraine and sent home, but a neurology referral was made, but I not until 2/19/18. On 2/9/18 I developed right sided facial droop in addition to my remaining binocular diplopia, dizziness and nausea with head pain. I called the neurologist's office that I had an appointment with and they told me to go to another ER where he was the neurologist on call. That ER then admitted me for MS/CVA. They ran an MRI and MRIA and both came back clean. The neurologist gave me over 250 mg of ** throughput the hospital course and told me to keep my follow-up on 2/19/18 with him. He said it must be an infection making my nerves inflamed.

On 2/12/18 I saw an ophthalmologist regarding my vision. He diagnosed me with Myasthenia Gravis and was concerned that the neurologist didn't test me for it while I was an inpatient. He said he would contact the neurologist and let him handle the subsequent testing and treatment for Myasthenia Gravis. I saw my neurologist 2/19/18 and he did NOT rule out the Phentermine as a cause of my problems. I had blood work done for Myasthenia Gravis, although he doesn't think that is what I have and now I wait for results.

Prior to all of this I have been healthy. Neurological and autoimmune disorders do not run in my family and I have never had a vision, headache or any problems like this in my history at all. I work as a Certified Professional Medical Coder. This has adversely affected my ability to work, drive and live a normal life. I am currently occluding one eye at a time to work.

The first few days I started taking them I had an increased heart rate (which made me think I had anxiety but actually didn't... Just my heart was beating faster, which is what happens when you have anxiety... so it's easy to get to the wrong conclusion), dry mouth and trouble sleeping but as soon as I upped my water intake and started taking the pills earlier in the morning, these side effects went away. Now I only take half a dose because I found that it's enough for me and the full dose gave me dry mouth all the time and sleepless nights. My advice to someone thinking of trying these is the following: Everyone's body is different so you have to find your own balance with these pills. Take half a dose the first week then try the full dose. If you feel like your side effects are getting worse instead of better, go back to half a dose as it is still effective.

Drink a lot of water. A LOT! Don't starve yourself constantly! Eat small portions of healthy food and you will still lose weight and not feel like a drunk mosquito. Try to up your exercise! It would be stupid not to, especially since you get so much energy from these pills and if you do not spend it, you might have problems sleeping.

Well at same time he put me on Phentermine. He only started me on 15mg and said I had to see him in a month. I was a bit disappointed because went to him to be on Phentermine because a friend had a great success with it. Only thing was that friend was on 37.5 mg. So figured 15 mg may not help me. Over the first month I lost 10 pounds. So it did work. I really did not work out but changed my eating habits. It made it so I did not crave sugar at all. When I went to the metabolic dr. I also saw a nutritionist there and she educated me on how to eat healthier and really how sugar is the main enemy and how it's in everything just about that's processed. So armed with that knowledge and Phentermine I cut my sugar down in a day to almost nothing. PHentermine also made it so I did not overeat.

After 3 months my doctor upped by Phentermine to 30 mg. It's been 4 months and I'm down 30 pounds. I started exercising about 5 times a week and started about a month ago. Phentermine works still. It gave me no negative side effects. Only very strange thing is I feel tired on Phentermine. I read that it's similar to speed in composition so it speeds people up a bit. It does not do this for me. I mention it to my dr. but he has a thick accent and kept saying, "No it speeds you up" when I said it makes me feel tired.

I just stop mentioning it though because was afraid he take me off it. I don't want to be off it though because think it works great. I was just curious for my knowledge why I feel tired. I did a search online and found a few people like myself who also feel tired on it but cannot find a reason why this is. My husband suggested it's like Adhd kids who takes a stimulant and it slows them down but the problem with that is I'm the opposite of ADhd and have incredible focus and no other signs of Adhd.

My husband was on a higher amount of Phentermine from the beginning and also 8mg of **. He had no negative side effects and did feel sped up from it. He weighed 355 when he started 4 months ago and now weighs 289. So it's working well for him. I would recommend Phentermine to others. Everyone is different and will experience different effects but for us has been great. I read people commenting on other sites about how Phentermine is bad because the issue is that they are eating the wrong things and that needs to be addressed.

Well I feel PHentermine did that. It important to go to a nutritionist even if you feel you know how to eat healthy. I felt I knew, yet learned so much. Phentermine allowed me to kick sugar. Sugar is similar to a drug in how it works in our brains. Without PHentermine I don't believe I could have kicked that habit. It also has made it easier to eat less. When I get off it I will be used to eating less. Of course I still need to apply what I learned from the nutritionist but I also needed Phentermine until I reach my goal weight as well. I feel Phentermine is a great drug and has the potential to help make people healthier and happier as long as they educated themselves how to eat properly as well.

I was put on Phentermine to help me get my weight down so I didn't wind up a full diabetic with hypertension and a bad heart. Diabetes and heart issues run in my family so I am at high risk and in my 40's, so needed to make a change. I had my 4 month check-up last week - I have lost almost 35 lbs, and my cholesterol and LDL numbers had each dropped 50 points, and my A1C dropped .6 points. My Endocrinologist was very happy with my numbers and I am continuing on with the Phentermine.

I would recommend Phentermine to anyone who is frustrated with dieting that doesn't work. This drug helped me stick to a healthier way of eating - no diet! I eat more fruits, veggies, lean protein, good carbs, and have cut-out the junk food, candy, sugary drinks, and fast food. The Phentermine curbs my cravings and appetite so that I can make healthier choices. I am confident that I can stick to this way of healthier eating so that once I am off the Phentermine, I can stick to my healthier lifestyle.

Day 1 to day 4, fourth day I quit. (List of side effects) 1. Insomnia of the worse kind. I was always one to hit the z's early enough to feel refreshed the next day so sleep was never an issue before. Talking 2-3 sleep days, I had no idea that it was from Phentermine until I went and did the research on day 4 writing this review. I thought my lack of sleep had to do with my already stress in my personal life that. 2. Nausea and bloat. Right after a meal or water I would have to throw up to calm it. 3. Constipation. 4. Depression came quickly from the already stress that was there. 5. Increased heart rate's when you move suddenly almost feeling like its beating out of your chest like a few seconds away from a heart attack. 6. Vertigo. I may have left some side effects out but for the most part this sums up my experience.

It is not for me and I do believe for the better half of these reviewer here we can all contest to the same issues while taking it. Yes you may see a 3-5 pounds lost from taking it. But think about it - would you just rather work harder in your meal and workout plan? Is a health scare worth those few pounds. Hope this review helps. I say think about it and do your research before and not taking it like I did.

I thought the hardest part would be having to eat more. 5 times a day! I was lucky if I ate 2 meals before. But, I now eat 3 meals and 2 snacks throughout the day, containing at least 20 mg of protein each meal. Have cut out breads, grains, and sweets. And have increased veggies and added salad to nearly every meal. I drink at least 60 oz of water daily. 5 weeks ago we also started exercising with weights 30 mins a day, 6 days a week. I can definitely see the changes in my body since starting exercising. My body is firmer and toning nicely. However, the scale teeters on. I know I need to add at least 30 mins of cardio to my daily activity as well.

Increased energy!!! Nope. As a matter of fact, I am sluggish and unmotivated, not even wanting to work in my workshop. And my sex drive has decreased dramatically. I've suffered from insomnia for 15 yrs. Have tried countless meds, visualization, and essential oils to name a few. Insomnia continues. I think stopping my ADHD med has negatively impacted many aspects of my daily life. With new diet and lifestyle changes, I'm seriously considering stopping ** if that what it takes to get back on ADHD med. I do feel better having changed what I eat, but overall, I'm not happy and will be talking with doctor on next appointment.

I was 226 when I started this pill in May 2017. It's now August and I lost 30 pounds on this drug. I go to crunch fitness everyday and I do 30-45 min of cardio and light weights. If you start to feel crazy or have hallucinations ask yourself "how much did I eat today?" You will feel strange if you just take this pill and don't eat all day. Only reduce your calories by a small amount and truly feed your body! The drug is not the issue. It's your lifestyle that is.

I lost over 50 pounds on the scale but looking at it in clear eyes I lost water weight and muscle. My body was starving. I was not told how to take it or how to take care of myself on it. Hair loss, bad skin, dry mouth, chapped lips. The list could go on forever. I took myself off this medication. I was not seeing results and the doctor thought I should continue even though I had already been on it too long without even a break. I gained all my weight back as I got my first period since starting the medication. I do not recommend this at all. My life has changed and not for the better.

SIX months later I am still taking quadruple my original dosage for high BP which is keeping it in check. I'm due a checkup next week and plan to discuss with him whether or not this medicine has somehow affected my heart negatively. I'm really concerned with the fact that I have not been able to return to my original 80mg dose and worry that it's caused some sort of permanent damage to my heart.

As an additional precaution, I plan to skip Phentermine on weekends. I decided to try Phentermine after my dad reported to good results my niece and her husband have had using it. Becoming about 70 lbs overweight, despite portion control and not eating very much - at all, I became extremely frustrated. And, working out just wasn't helping. Frankly, I got mad and disgusted with myself. I have been using Phentermine 37.5 for little over a week now, so I don't have any major progress to report. Though my pants seem to be fitting a bit looser.

I take 37.5 mgs everyday & I may miss one or two days so I'm not sure if I've become dependent or addicted or am I having serious side affects or could it be due to bipolar with manic episodes, but I'm also having marital problems bc my husband thinks the medicine is making me worse. I feel like I'm losing my mind. I can't stand loud noises. It aggravates me bad, but as far as weight loss it helps. I may not be eating enough, but I feel so thirsty & I drink plenty of water or g2. Mentally I'm exhausted more than I am physically. Can anyone give me a explanation for this or any advice of what I should do, go off them medicine or cut the dosage in half?

I am a very happy go lucky person. Yes I have the normal every day stresses, like everyone else. But by no means am I a suicidal person. I don't take any kinds of meds and I'm a very healthy person with no medical issues. The 4th day on this pill, I started having self-doubt. I didn't think anything about it. I kept taking the pills, everyday became a struggle. I started hating myself and felt that everyone hated me. I cried all the time for no reason. I was mad at myself for feeling this way. I talked with my friends, I even talked with my husband. Everything they told me became twisted in my head. I had convinced myself everyone hated me and I didn't need to exist.

I've only been off the pill today and have had some withdrawal issues. I hope these feelings will go away quickly and I can be back to myself soon. Just be careful taking these pills and follow the doctor instructions to a T. And if you feel anything out of the way call your doctor immediately.

I have done some research on this drug and society has been SO misinformed by the media. They confuse phentermine with the popular 80's diet crazy **. The first part of that diet phase was ** which is what caused the heart issues and the holes in the heart, not the phentermine itself. Furthermore at clinicaltrials.gov, they have done studies on this drug since 1954 and there is no evidence to suggest that it is addicting. None. Lastly, it is a mild ** like **. So you don't get the high like ** gives you. I think the first week I took it I had some heart acceleration and headaches but it disappeared. The only thing I don't like is that it causes constipation. I have high blood pressure and am on medication for it. However since I lost weight I take less thyroid and blood pressure meds now. So this drug may not be a "fits all" type drug, but for me it works. I still losing weight, feel great, have energy and libido and can think more clearly.

I don't know about everyone else but this ADD girl with her thyroid, lagging energy, foggy brain thinks this is a miracle and I hope that I can continue with this although maybe on a milder dose. Do your homework look on government sites, look at real medical sites like top medical school. Don't just go to blog type sites. There is real information and tests on this drug and it has been on the market since 1954. No one has died or overdosed strictly from taking this drug. And this IS an FDA approved drug for weight loss. Also, you can stay on this drug long term. You just need to monitor your blood pressure and heart rate. I do my heart rate daily on my phone (it has a sensor) and I have a portable machine for my blood pressure. I have been normal on all fronts.

With any medication you need to find out if it has adverse reactions with any other drugs you take. Only take this drug under a doctor's prescription and care. This is for people who need to lose 50 or more pounds. Basically obese and morbidly obese. Talk to your doctor or several until you get all the answers you need. Good luck in your weight loss.

I too suffer with depression and self-esteem issues and have learned to balance how I feel about my health, body and self-image. Yes, I have noticed some weight gain in the past when stopping, but that only encourages me to work harder at diet, exercise and ensure I'm taking my thyroid medication as well. Every little boost in metabolism, energy levels and a smart diet plan will lead to results. Patience, dedication, discipline and knowing this is not a magic weight loss pill are key to weight loss success. Overall, I would advise you to follow your gut on taking any medication that has as serious side effects as this in some case studies. Please do your research and discuss your options with your doctor before popping this or any pill.

This pill is not a miracle pill, there is no such thing. If you take it and allow the chemical to take over and not feed your cells with nutritious healing foods, your cells absorb the chemical and you will experience these negative side effects. If you are new to this pill please create a mindset that this is your "personal trainer" who allows you an opportunity to start making better choices, learning how to "re-feed" yourself and hydrate yourself while providing the motivation (energy) to start a daily exercise program. This is the only way you are going to feel well on the medicine and learn new habits so you don't gain the weight back after you stop taking the medicine.

I was given the medicine for 30 days in 2014 and I was able to shed the weight I wanted while trying to get in shape for a beach trip. I was eating well and committed to my workouts and all was a success until I returned home and started eating pancakes and hash browns for dinner and to be expected, the weight returned. After a year of limiting my calories and binging because I had felt deprived and frustrated, my thyroid was out of whack so in addition to my doctor resetting my thyroid meds, I asked for another prescription to get me back on track as I am wholly committed to taking the time to prepare healing foods. I have a 30 day supply and this is it as I will not repeat the mistake I made in 2014. I worked too hard to get in shape only to get lazy and undo my results.

My second day on Phentermine, I had received some disappointing news, silly as it may be, that a lodging reservation had been canceled which had taken me a day to secure. I felt so devastated that I strangely did feel self-pity come over me - which is TOTALLY not me...I mean it put me feeling in the dumps! So I know, the moodiness is a real side effect but by being aware of the cause when it happens, your "personal trainer" can bring this to your attention so you can make a mental shift and learn to let go and replace your negative thoughts with positive thoughts. I do find that even my affection towards my husband wanes as an emotional side effect, but because I am aware of this, I make an extra effort to be loving towards him even though it is not what I am feeling as a result of the medication. Do not give in to your emotions, feel the feeling and then let it go. It takes awareness and work, but it is necessary for you to live in balance.

I could go on forever but my point is...if you are reading all these reviews, I hope you learn something from it all and it helps you to be successful with your investment both in the pill and in your health. I do think it is a shame that Weight Loss Clinics are not REALLY setting people up for success while taking their money and if you feel that you are not fully informed, you have to take the responsibility to learn how to feed yourself and lose the bad habits. If you do not eat healthy meals balanced with vegetables, healthy fats and carbs, you are going to endanger your health and gain the weight back...and as we all know, this is a fact whether you are on a pill or not.

If you are new to learning about health, there are so many good resources on-line. A simple book I read many years ago transformed my life and taught me how to prepare delicious healing foods and as a result I felt FULL VITALITY for the first time since childhood (I contracted parasites in my youth that I have been battling for decades).

We can transform our health, don't use Phentermine as a crutch, allow it to help you make life long changes. This is your opportunity of a lifetime. Learn how to prepare healthy foods quickly and get on an exercise program that makes you feel alive again. Be aware of your unsettling feelings, and make a mental shift. Never stop hydrating yourself throughout the day. Don't continue to give-away your hard-earned money for visits to the clinic and monthly prescriptions, that money can go to your grocery bill as healthy eating is a financial investment that pays off in the long run. You will want that extra money to reward yourself with new outfits when you finally feel really good about yourself.

The last time I took the pills, I took them for one week and I had to stop because the side effects came back quickly and with a vengeance. I am now off the pills for two days and am struggling just to get out of bed in the morning. My depression is severe this time, but hopefully I will be able to ride it out. Needless to say, I will not take this drug again. I can explain the mental anguish it has caused me. I think anyone who is entertaining the use of this drug needs to definitely think twice. It is definitely not worth it as you may one of the ones that has these severe reactions.
