I been on phentermine for 5.5 months. With healthy eating and started riding my bike again I've lost 67lbs. Was 44 in the waist and now I'm 36 inch. Feel like a new man. I'm 46 years old. My younger sister had no luck with phentermine? Good luck to all
That's great. I just started talking it I'm so excited. My goal is to lose 50 pounds.
What time in the morning you take it do you take it after meal or before meal?
@@Passionlovespontaneous I take it at between 7 and 8 in the morning before I eat breakfast.
Wow!! I started Topamax a week and a half ago, and shortly they are going to add phentermine to the mix as well. If you don't mind my asking, how did you begin healthy eating? Was it just portion control, or were you just watching what you were eating entirely? Either way, I'm really happy for you. That sounds so exciting. Congratulations!!! :)
I've been on it for 5 months, 5'2 female 28yo. I have lost 65 lbs aka 28% of my body weight. While calorie counting and walking. My pcp says she is pretty sure I have been her most successful pt on it. From 236 now 170. Aiming for 130. Might stop cutting calories at 140lbs and try to body recomp the last 10lbs off to hit my goal. But, the best thing phentrime has done for me was show me that I can totally lose this weight....plus I have realized that the gym has become a habit.
that damn beat in the beginning so loud 😭
Thank you so much for this video!!!! This is quality content!
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
This is great content! Super excited for my weight loss journey !
I just started taking Phentermine Saturday. I weighed myself this morning I’m down 5.3 lbs . My diet has changed and life style
Did you have any side effects?
@@Sparkle-ey7iwcommon ones are increased heart rate/ increased nervousness and insomnia. So take it in the morning
I’m just start a week ago either and lost 3.5 kg (7.7lbs)
I take cbd oil without the thc and it helped lower my bloodpressure because phentermine raised it
Have you had any crazy side effects???
Hi dr new subscribe here frist day on phentermine here after had not so good whi ozempic i loss 34 pounds and i stop ozempic for bad side effects and gain the weight back im type 2 diabetes 6 f tall and current weight is 260 thank you for your guidance and tips 💪
My doctor just put me on this today. I made lifestyle changes over a span of 7 years after having my daughter. Cut out all soda and added sugar. (Meaning if I made it myself I didnt add any sugar I used alulose instead) using buckwheat instead of white flour, riced and mashed cauliflower instead of rice and potatoes, if we eat red meat it is game meat. Otherwise its chicken or turkey. No root veggies just beans or leafy greens. My husband has lost 20lbs. I have held steady at 245 despite becoming disabled and having medication that normally causes weight gain. The doctor said the reason I probably havent gained is because of the changes I've made and they are probably also why I'm not diabetic. I'm already on topomax ER for chronic migraines. He's hopi g adding the phentermine will help me start losing.
Any side affects or gain the weight back ?
@@user-kx1sl8wd1s no I havent. I have lost 25 lbs. Slow but steady since I can't exercise. No side effects either. Just make sure to drink plenty of water
@@phoenixdarkmoon8040 thank you for this
I just started a couple days ago . I’m 21 and long story short I’m 4’10 looks heavy on me. It has ruined my life from fertility to my confidence and everything under the belt. I’m currently 168 pounds and I always work out and eat protein and low calorie meals and have only been gaining weight i do not drink soda or eat candy. From starting I’ve lost 4 pounds. I’m also putting in working out as well but I’m crossing my fingers. This is not a magic pill this 100 % a guide. Good luck everyone
hey have you checked with ur doc to see if you have PCOS? its incredibly difficult to lose weight. hope you are successful
Hello just wondering how your getting on 4 months down the line as I am about to start them thankyou
I was using phentermine for six months and it worked well. Then I started to feel short of breath. I did all the tests and they were all fine, and in the end, through a friend who works in the pharmacy, she told me that phentermine causes shortness of breath due to pressure on the lungs. Using it for more than three months harms the lungs, and to this day I suffer from a sore throat and shortness of breath, especially at night.
Good to know! Thank you!
I take cbd oil without the thc it helped lower my bloodpressure and the side effects of feeling jittery
Hi i plan to use this with the keto diet. My major concern is that i work night sboft as a nurse . How do you suggest taking this medication
I'm taking phentermine and I love it. It suppresses appetite and gives me energy. This is actually my 3rd time using it within the last 5yrs. This time I was prescribed Wegovy and Zepbound injections but too expensive so went back to phentermine. This time I'm going to stay on it longer than 30 days. I just need to stay focused.
Any side affects ?
@@user-kx1sl8wd1s not for me, I took it for about 3-4 months. You must monitor your blood pressure, to make sure the medication agrees with you. God Bless always !
Congratulations on continuing your weight loss journey ! My Doctor prescribed Phentermine for me back in November 2023. It has helped me to focus on lower carb options, getting more protein each day, drinking my water and striving for 10K steps each day. So far I have lost 30lbs, hope to get to ONEDERLAND by November 2024. God's continued best to you always !
Today is day 1 of my weight loss journey. Thanks for this info!
Thats awesome!
How to consult and howt to order
I did great phentermine. I only did a half a pill a day and the I may not use it for a week. I had 30 pills and they last me for 5 months.
What was your dosage?
Did you loose weight
I brought some for my friend from Mexico and I bought one for myself. I’ll start using them tomorrow. I hope they work 👌🏻
They work wonders 😂those pills are life but you also have to eat healthy and exercise a lil bit for it to work properly
Do you do virtual visits? I live in NJ
I have been combining this and a workout routine, i feel like I'm losing weight at lighting speed
How do I order to Canada?
When was the last time you lost that type of weight is a bad way to look at it. That's like saying well it wasnt your time.
Hello ! I've been on it almost a month and im down 15lbs and I was wondering if I can crush my phentermine pill instead of swallowing it whole? Im always having issues swallowing it. I take the 37.5 pill not the capsule
You can definitely cut it in half.
Any side affects ?
Greetings,
I had some concerns about this medication. It was recommended to me by my doctor. I'm very nervous to start it.I have to get a clearence from my cardiologist. i have hyper tension does this medication cause your pressure to elevate and heart palpitations.
Yea, it does. If you have any heart issues I wouldn’t tell you to take it
Hi! I started taking the phentermine 37.5 capsules, but I wanted to take half of the pill instead of the whole. Is it possible to split a phentermine capsule?
I'm asking because yesterday morning I took the whole pill, and I was sweating like crazy last night.
I have taken half of phentermine 37.5 (the tablet not capsule) 2 years ago and lost 40lbs in 3 months, but I went cold turkey and just ate healthy my whole journey.
But this year I started gaining weight because of stress and I started eating carbs once a week.
So this time I'm thinking of eating healthy but also eating some carbs so my body doesn't just get used to healthy foods. That way I can continue to keep the weight off after 3 months of taking phentermine.
My dr told me to take the pills every other day if things got too rough.
My dr told me to take half a pill at a time one at 8am and one at 12pm
Yes
I’ve been on it for 2.5 months lost 25 but I’ve only been drinking protein shakes without exercise if I include exercise do you think I’ll be capable of losing 100?
Yes for sure
I lost 11 lbs the first week on phentermine then only 1 lbs the following week? Weird. See what happens
How about now?
Do you take it before breakfast or after breakfast if so what time?
Either is fine doesnt have to be on empty stomach but if breakfast is delayed several hours better to take first thing in the morning to avoid trouble sleeping
@@DrMelodyCovingtonMD Thank you
What are your other top medications for weightloss if they don't respond to phentermine?
Our blog article FDA approved weight loss medications and how they work lists them all too many to list here. abundanthealthvitality.com/fda-approved-weight-loss-medications-how-they-work/
On average, how long would you say it usually takes before an individual can tell if they're responding to it or not?
Phentermine right away - same day or within 1-2 days
@@DrMelodyCovingtonMD how are you able to tell if ur responding to the medication?
@@angelicaguerrero745 people who are responding can tell right away within a few hours or 1 day of starting the medication - reduced appetite and increased energy are key symptoms
Hi is it normal to feel sleepy at first?
Unless someone is undereating or has insomnia and its making it hard to get adequate sleep it would not be typical for someone to get sleepy at first starting phentermine. Its important to evaluate with a medical doctor what other medications or events could be contributing to fatigue, if someone is prescribing phentermine for you they can go through that with you
👍
Why do you not accept insurance if over 50% of your clients get reimbursed? Please (respectfully) be detailed as to why not and who are the 50% (types of procedures or companies)that get there money back? What percentage of that return do they get back based on your office’s visits….. note I understand one of your responses may be the cost of staff to collecting insurance premiums, but besides that what are the circumstances that your patients to get their insurance to pay and exactly what percentage of those fee your charged retuned to your patients? Thanks
Mid 2021 and beginning of 2022 we tried to contract with the largest insurance company in our state - Blue cross blue shield of NC and their response was that they do not contract with weight loss practices. So unfortunately the insurance companies do not want to cover the services or medications which means we have to do it without insurance.
Just a t started on It looking forward to losing some major pounds
Good luck to you. Keep us updated on your progress
Any update?
Update?
Hi there, did you get any good results?
What’s a healthy way to get off phentermine without getting depressed?
Elaborate… are you depressed when stopping use?
@@izis7alvarez After it wears off you get an extremely elevated level of anxiety and depression kicks in too.
My only issue is i just got prescribed this and im nervous to take them because of the side effects.
Same!
Have you finally started taking down? How has it been for you? I also have it but worried about taking them.
@@jessicaneloms9219HI! Did you start on 15g or 37g? 😊
@@jessicaneloms9219Hi! Are you taking 15g or 37g? 😊
Something’s going on… had sleeve surgery- lost 40 lbs- gained 20 back a year later…. THEN ozempic for 42 weeks & only lost 28 lbs- now dr has prescribed phentermine 8mg- soooooo yeah we’ll see
No luck- dr took me off phen completely- been taking contrave for 5 months- and literally gained 10 more punds -I’ve been in counseling for 3 years-
Phentermine comes in 37.5 mg and also 18.75 mg . Perhaps you need a higher dosage?
😍 ᴘʀᴏᴍᴏsᴍ
Topomax was way more effective for me than phentermine. It took away my urge to binge.
My dr prescribed phentermine in the morning and topamax at night. Does this help lose more weight or help eliminate side effects?
I've been wanting to try topamax for Binge drinking. How were the side effects ?
