Thank you so much dr I have tried phen before I live in TX and I never had a dr go into depth about the medicine so I really appreciate the time you took to give all this info out ! Unfortunately I’ve gained all my weight back because of these mistakes you mentioned I want to give it another go making better and healthier choices. Thank you 🙏🏽
I'm glad that I found your video. My doctor didn't go in this depth about my weight loss options nor give her professional advice on which may work best for me. Today is my first day taking it and I was a bit nervous based on the side effects, but I so needed a "jumpstart" to lose weight because I feel like it's making my depression worse. I so hope that it helps without any negative repercussions.
I had an injury several years ago after being very active and managing my weight for years. Fast fwd. Working from home, injury complications and up 30-40 lbs. Started a modified workout 3-4 days, improved diet and the scale hasn't moved. I also turned 50. My dr suggested a weight loss aide a year ago and i said No. Well, This is day 2 of phen. Insurance denied two labels but approved phen. Yesterday I was a cleaning fool! I'm logging my food directly to my calendar and my experience. I was peeing alllll day. I drink water regularly and so far minimal issues w dry mouth. I already take melatonin and magnesium for sleep and plan to continue using the aides per usual. Hoping for great kickstart and getting back into clothes I havent worn in a long time.
Will weigh 2x the first week, then weekly on Saturday AM. And will continue to front load protein in the morning which has helped with hunger, snacking and cravings, in general. I will continue my regular vitamins iron, Vit D, Bcomplex, acidophilus, zinc. Planning to add folate.
Does L-tyrosine truly boost the appetite suppressant side, energy effects of Phentermine and make it like the “first time” you took Phentermine? I’m still starving all the time, walking 3-5 miles at least 4-6 days/week, 100-120oz water, took a 7 month break...help.
both work similarly some insurance companies will cover 1 more so than the other but otherwise not much difference aside from capsules cant be split into smaller doses
Hmmm lets say someones insulin resistence is really messed up and their metabolism is also messed up from antipsychotics would this be a better option more or less for weight loss than say Metformin? Also is this medication actually dangerous? I've heard people say it is because their heart rate was too high. Thanks!
Hi! Today was my first day using adipex…how have your patients with hypothyroidism (Hashimoto’s) done using this medication? Thanks for sharing your knowledge 😃
I'm taking phentermine but I also am taking mutilated b12, zinc, vitamin D. I have a bad back and I can't really exercise like I use to, so my doctor wants me to loose weight to help with the nerve pain in my back. I am a vegetarian so my diet isn't high fat or calorie. Is there any thing else I need to take?
If you're trying to heal your adrenals and they are improving, but not 100%yet, is it wise to take phentermine? Also, if you're doing 2 hours of cardio a day and still not losing while watching what you eat. On armour and liothyronine, and wondering if taking bio identical estrogen could be destroying all my efforts. 25lb to lose. I do notice that shortly after I ate i'm hungry again, that i run am average body temperature of 95 in the morning before rising, and based off of a proper food, fat, protein, low carb, things are just not making sense. If i'm not starving myself, eating organic, grass fed, veggies, good fats, low carb. I should feel satiated and i'm trying to find the underlined reason as to why that signals not happening. I get plenty of water and i'm 48.
I will have a video coming up soon on fasting with weight loss medication. You have to be very careful because weight loss medicine suppresses hunger and if you don't know how to deal with hunger and cravings once off medication you can gain even more weight than lost. I don't recommend fasting with weight loss medication- unless you were already doing it prior to starting medicine.
Dr Melody Covington MD I’d like this too because I’ve been doing ADF for a month and just added phenternine this morning. Was thinking of taking full pill on fasting days and half on eating days
Hello! My dr prescribed me phentermine/Wellbutrin combo. If I end up having side effects, I wonder how I will know which medication is giving the side effects? Do you ever prescribe the combo?
Thats a good point. The doctor should know by the side effects that you are experiencing because each medication has its own profile. I often prescribe phentermine for patients already on wellbutrin but usually I dont start both together at the same time as new medications.
I’m on my 5th day on this pill and so far I lost 5 pounds only by jus eating good . I am scared to work out because my heart rate gets crazy and I get out of air on this pill randomly through out the day . In feel like I’ll have. A heart attack or something
So I’ve been on phentermine for a month I had changed my eating habits and was walking but wasn’t going anywhere so my dr prescribed it I’m on the tablet 32.5 (I think). And it’s just about a month and I haven’t even lost a lb I drink a ton of water and a Coke Zero a day.
I struggle with thyroid and try to eat as clean as I can on most days (healthy fats, proteins, lots of veggies 🥗 try to stick to low carb diet ) I also take supplements that help with thyroid functions (zinc, selenium, vitamins B12 and magnesium, vD, & collagen) I started taking Phentermine 3 weeks ago and thus far have lost 7ibs. In those 3 weeks, I still feel hungry at night and crave sweets. I still have yet to get into exercising, but will be doing soon, so I don’t lose muscle mass. What Else could I be doing to improve? I am up to half a gallon of water a day right now. I know I got to up my water intake, but is there more that I should do ? I have 4 more months of this prescription and my goal weight while on this medication is 50ibs down. My goal weight is 135ibs.
OMG!!!! I came here to say this EXACT same thing... I’m only on 15mg, which im really pissed about... Anyway, the first 2 days, I had that beautiful burst of energy.... I started on the 15th. i still workout EVERY single day. But no burst of energy. And for the past 2 days, Im able to sleep through the day. (I wasnt able to do that before.) Idk whats going on. Smh. Im gonna stay the course. Im going to believe that consistency is key. But wtf??? I loved that beautiful BUZZING feeling. 😔😔 I want that back.
Yes I do virtual consultations often. For prescriptions/medication you have to be seen in person. If you are asking for 2nd opinion, nutrition assistance, or want to do our meal replacement program or advanced nutrition testing the virtual visit can be very useful.
Dr Melody Covington MD I just started it I will only be on 3 months but have so much weight to loose. How will I cope when I am off of it. like control my appetite?
The goal is that if you eat properly now, don't skip meals, eat plenty of protein. and vegetables and stay hydrated that you will establish solid eating habits that you will be able to maintain long term. Use the medication to perfect your eating habits. Also stay active so that it will be easier to maintain your weight long term.
Thank you so much for the great information. I been taking the medicine for two weeks now. I can't sleep at all. And I have Absolutely no energy. I feel sick all the time. And I'm also seeing white lights from the corner of my eyes. But the weight is coming off. I think I need something different this medicine is to strong for me.
I've taken this but I have built a tolerance. I've given myself months off the pills and when I come back to it it still does not work :( I'm getting my big hunger and cravings back :( what can I do?
This is a challenge and can be frustrating so I understand. If you've already given yourself a "medication holiday" or break from the medication, the next best step is to consult a specialist to recommend a different weight loss medication for you, this way you continue getting weight loss results but don't risk regaining the weight that you've lost. You can definitely maintain weight loss off phentermine but a lot of times if people stop the medication too early the set point or physiology has not changed yet, this may explain the reason you have hunger and cravings.
@@DrMelodyCovingtonMD thank you. It took a while for my hunger and cravings had come back. But now they are slowly coming back :( thank you so much for your reply.
If I'm taking Gabapentin family doctor prescribe me weight-loss medication and weight-loss medication 59:16 or what weight loss medication can I take while I'm taking Gabapentin
Be sure to discuss with your doctor or whomever is prescribing because they will have your full health history for example someone with insomnia may not be able to do that - so discuss with your medical team
There have been numerous people on here commenting that either the phentermine isn't or doesn't seem to work for them (still eating and sleeping throughout day) and/or it worked the first couple days and isn't anymore. What is your opinion on this? Do you believe that it's still working even if we don't necessarily feel it working and can sleep throughout the day & night just fine with it? Are then just some healthy people it doesn't work for? Can you please answer a lot of us with the answer to those questions of it not working for them or working just the first couple days. I really appreciate all your other replies to people's comments and your overall knowledge and advice about the medicine. I personally am one of the many asking this question(s) about it not effecting us or only after first couple days. I am able to still take a nap 2x a day if wanted and still sleep just fine at night. Also would you recommend someone take half in am and half in evening or the whole thing in the am. Thank you so very much God bless and please pay the other ignorant comments (ur picture/a WL doc? etc...) no mind!! Much love, be blessed! Also is it true your suppose to eat @ least 3 meals 2 snacks with it even though it's made to suppress your appetite, sounds contradictive. T.y 🙏🥰
I have commented previously that not every medication will work for every patient this is the same for phentermine. If someone does not have appetite suppression or energy or if they are not losing weight its possible that its not working for them and in those cases I recommend trying a different medication.
We have several patients who are out of state, I have 1 patient who travels from Maryland, it is a 6 hour drive but she usually does a 1 hour flight instead. It is required to travel to the clinic for the first visit. Our farthest traveling patient is in France. If you happen to be in town or plan to travel give us a call, I would love to work with you.
Hi Dr. Melody I was wondering if it’s safe to take this pills on my period? Because some people advised me to stop taking it during my period and continue once the cycle is over
Inches count so if you are losing inches you are losing body fat. It could be due to gaining muscle or the weight loss may follow but losing inches and fitting better in clothes is a sign of fat loss.
Question I've MS and it's sooo difficult for me to look weight. As before I could lose weight when I needed too. I just turn 38 so I'm know age gender genetics etc have a role in weight loss. Ik you don't know me personally but is it safe for someone who takes alot of medicine as I do daily?
Dr. Do you use this weight loss product yourself. You appear to be overweight. I am not asking you this to disrespect you or put you on the spot. I ask this question because if this medicine would not work for you it may not work for me. Dr. I was just diagnosed with hypo thyroid. If I take this medicine will it help me in conjunction with thyroid medicine.
I lost 80 lbs with diet and exercise, visit my website in the "Doctor" section. Keep in mind that this video is also from 2018. To answer your question, I did not personally use any weight loss medications, just like plastic surgeons dont usually get plastic surgery or perform it on themselves... but I've prescribed weight loss medications for several thousands of people who it has worked for, you should not compare what you need to do for your health to me or anyone else. My weight has nothing to do with you or what you need to do to improve your quality of life or live out your God given years.
Yes I offer virtual visits that are HIPAA protected and secure. Check out this link to find out more about virtual visits and packages abundanthealthvitality.com/virtual/
Dr Melody Covington MD yes I am serious!! I live in Florida and the doctor here who does sell it, wants me on 700 calories a day.. I’m doing weight watchers but still have that hunger and overthinking, so I really think this could change my life in the best way!
Yes! I’m wondering the same thing and I have nothing but good intentions with my question because she is noticeably heavier in the video. However I do know angles make huge differences.
If you're interested to see what I look like, I recommend following the Instagram or Facebook pages they are mentioned under the video, there you will find current photos, full length pictures, videos, and I often go live on those platforms as well. My weight journey is not a secret, you can also see my before and after (80 lb weight loss) photos throughout social media and my website. I also recommend checking out my patient reviews and testimonials online and some of the videos featured here on TH-cam. Thank you for your view and comment, your support helps the channel!
Dr. Melondy I've been on this medication for 3 days I decided to weight myself on the fourth day I gained a pound. I lost 13 pounds on my own when my doctor decided to give me phentermin 37.5 .. I walk every day and do bicycling everyday( 1hr). I am now drinking 100 oz of water a day to relieve the headaches( it worked ). I was doing the intermittent fasting before I started the medication still on fasting 16/8.? What am I doing wrong? please help!
It may be that you're retaining water. Ask your dr to prescribe a diuretic. My weight loss clinic prescribes them. Plus you may want to watch the amount of sodium you consume. It causes water retention.
I had a girlfriend who took Fred of me, and about a year after she used it, she had heart problems. It can cause problems can cause kidney problems, and anyone that takes this to within know that you're gambling, you're throwing the dice and you don't know what it can do to you.
My psych gave me this medicine without even weighing me and I have a 20 year history of bulimia smh...yeah I'm overweight now but drs are so irresponsible.
sorry that happened to you. I have a pretty extensive first visit - its an hour with a 60 question intake to evaluate that the plan is right for the patient and includes physical exam. I dont claim to be perfect but I definitely try my best to do what's best for each patient.
Thank you so much dr I have tried phen before I live in TX and I never had a dr go into depth about the medicine so I really appreciate the time you took to give all this info out !

I lost 80 lbs with diet and exercise, visit my website in the "Doctor" section. Keep in mind that this video is also from 2018. To answer your question, I did not personally use any weight loss medications, just like plastic surgeons dont usually get plastic surgery or perform it on themselves... but I've prescribed weight loss medications for several thousands of people who it has worked for, you should not compare what you need to do for your health to me or anyone else. My weight has nothing to do with you or what you need to do to improve your quality of life or live out your God given years.
I’m curious to know do people that have anxiety get even more anxiety and panic attacks since I suffer from really bad anxiety attacks.

@@MC-dn1xj Awesome. Look forward to meeting you soon, let's get you to your goal.
I'm sorry is that you in the picture ?
Yes! I’m wondering the same thing and I have nothing but good intentions with my question because she is noticeably heavier in the video. However I do know angles make huge differences.
Erica Smith Same here .. I wanted to know if it is her did she use the phentermine also or if it’s something else .. Maybe she’ll reply ..
@@Unicorn-sg1ls I’m sorry... I’m quite interested as well in that answer. Was there any response?
@@constancehayes2407 hi hun, so far there was no answer..
If you're interested to see what I look like, I recommend following the Instagram or Facebook pages they are mentioned under the video, there you will find current photos, full length pictures, videos, and I often go live on those platforms as well. My weight journey is not a secret, you can also see my before and after (80 lb weight loss) photos throughout social media and my website.
I also recommend checking out my patient reviews and testimonials online and some of the videos featured here on TH-cam.
Thank you for your view and comment, your support helps the channel!

Can I get this over the counter
No prescription only
Dr. Melondy I've been on this medication for 3 days I decided to weight myself on the fourth day I gained a pound. I lost 13 pounds on my own when my doctor decided to give me phentermin 37.5 ..
I walk every day and do bicycling everyday( 1hr).
I am now drinking 100 oz of water a day to relieve the headaches( it worked ).
I was doing the intermittent fasting before I started the medication still on fasting 16/8.?
What am I doing wrong? please help!
If you are drinking a lot more water than you were before it could be water weight
It may be that you're retaining water. Ask your dr to prescribe a diuretic. My weight loss clinic prescribes them. Plus you may want to watch the amount of sodium you consume. It causes water retention.
Fact: Running from a bear will make you lose weight.
lol yes this is true ... if you dont die
SHE is a doctor for weight loss???
I had a girlfriend who took Fred of me, and about a year after she used it, she had heart problems. It can cause problems can cause kidney problems, and anyone that takes this to within know that you're gambling, you're throwing the dice and you don't know what it can do to you.
My psych gave me this medicine without even weighing me and I have a 20 year history of bulimia smh...yeah I'm overweight now but drs are so irresponsible.
sorry that happened to you. I have a pretty extensive first visit - its an hour with a 60 question intake to evaluate that the plan is right for the patient and includes physical exam. I dont claim to be perfect but I definitely try my best to do what's best for each patient.
