Hey..ok let me tell you my journey with this drug. First I am 50 years old..I started 3 weeks ago at 247 now I am 227. I took it in the morning with orange juice. Yes...because it was making very sick and I ate fruit for breakfast. Now during the day I drink my gallon of water and snack on fruit all day .I ate salads and veggies for lunch . No breads no sweets. Dinner veggies or tuna . I really make sure I am exercising at least 5 times a week. Not eating made the weight stay on. As soon as I started to eat...boom weight started falling off. Please please eat and drink your water.i hope this helped someone
Where did you get it from please, what site? That would help A TON I'd appreciate it. I see them over Google but don't know which one to go with
@@ExoticWealth heyyy I actually went to a weight loss solution
@@MsJuly-ts8cj oh ok like a weight loss clinic? Hopefully that's what you mean as well
@@ExoticWealth yes and I take a water pill as well that they prescribed
Making sure you're getting in an ample amount of calories while on this is super important. What happens when on a super restricted caloric intake is your hormones drop and metabolism adapts to a lower caloric intake over time, so when people stop using this medicine they gain the weight back quickly because they have then created metabolic damage and that can take years to get back to normal in some cases.
I love this pill.started feb.2024 it's June 3rd.down 65 pounds
Do you take 15 mg daily and do you exercise and do breakfas, lunch and dinner ?
Wow
I take half a pill every other day, and I've lost 15 lbs in just two weeks.
Cool, how are you doing now, I began two days ago and also chose to do every other day just because of the palpitations to give a rest for a day.
What strength is your pills. I am only on 15 mg. Just started today.
I have been on this pill for 11 days and have lost5 pounds. Feeling much needed energy. Eating a very well balanced diet. Low carb high protein. Hope it keeps working.
Hey, how has it been going? I start mine tomorrow?
this pill is so crazy im only on day 4 and already down 7lbs! day 1 i didn’t really feel any appetite suppression but i did immediately get cotton mouth which cause me to drink hella water. day 2 i made a sandwich with turkey, bacon, egg, and spinach and was full after 3 bites then for dinner i got full off of a spoon of green beans and a chicken leg 😭 i drank a little over 3 liters this day which is my daily goal. day 3 was the first day i worked out since starting on the pill and the energy was AMAZING not to mention i woke up at 6am that morning. i ran some errands after the gym and literally forgot to eat until almost 4pm which i ate 2 egg bites and i felt kinda nauseous before finishing those. then for dinner i made 2 eggs and drank a green juice because i didn’t feel like cooking i was just forcing myself to eat as i was not hungry at all. today is day 4 and also christmas. i cooked pot roast, mac and cheese, and sweet peas for my whole family and i literally sat and watched them eat😭 i ate a very tiny portion around 5pm it was literally my first meal of the day then i had 2 bite sized cookies and it’s 9:30pm and i am STUFFED still. i haven’t experienced any symptoms except dry mouth and i notice if i try to eat after im full i get nauseous but i am simply not eating enough so i may start taking the pill every other day or doing half a dose
@@Jeffrhodes-pl7rc who tf said i was miserable jeff? 😭im simply sharing my experience for others to read
that's what I do ! My Doctor prescribed Phentermine for me back in November 2023. after about a month, I started taking it every OTHER day. As of today my total weight loss is 25.8lbs , I'm over 50 years old. While taking this medication, I am focused more on lower carb options, drinking my protein shakes each day, getting 10k steps each day and drinking close to a gallon of water each day. Im working to get to ONEDERLAND. God Bless you always !
Dr. put me on 15 mg, once a day. Is this enough? My neighbor is on 37.5 mg.
I've noticed what works for me is to take it every other day. Because even on the second day after taking I've noticed my appetite is still slightly suppressed.
Any tips on sleeping and gitters?
@@Allthingsgreeneyedwatake it early in the morning like 6am
I am waking up eating a banana and taking it with a half a cup of milk at 330 am. Working out, home work, sparking, all done before 7 am. Will change my whole life. I go to the DR next Tuesday and I can't wait!
I just started 4 days ago. I'm paying close attention to any adverse effects but so far I had 1 night of insomnia and some nausea at night.
I feel ridiculously relieved not to feel hungry all the time, and that, by itself, encourages me to eat healthier and gives me the energy to get up and move.
I love that you suggested it being a tool, I couldn't agree more and I'll use these 3 months to form better habits.
How's it going?
@@NJAlvarado612 not too bad, but I didn't get the energy it's supposed to give you. Not that I'm exhausted, I just feel normal. I do have ADHD and stimulants like this don't have the same effect on me as they would on someone else. I do not have cravings though! So, all in all, I've lost 12 pounds in a month and a half. If I had the increased energy it would be a lot more. The only thing that is so important is to drink a lot of water. You will get bad headaches if you don't.
super informative ! Thank you doctor
So helpful thank you. I’m going on it to kick start weight loss. Advice is great and I will heed it 👍🏻🙏🏻♥️
Having a really good experience so far, energy levels are up and food is down haha so much easier to diet without getting hungry or cravings👌
I used it a few years ago and did drop about 35 lbs. The weight did come back but slowly. Oddly, while taking it I did not exercise and eat well. I did, however, after I stopped it and was able to keep the weight off for a while. Now, I’m going back on it again. This time, I’m eating healthy, lower carb and zero processed foods, zero sugars. I’m exercising as well. I am hoping the phentermine gets me started with weight loss and I can take it from there. One more thing, I have Hashimoto’s. The phentermine really does make me feel almost normal again. It is a great feeling, but I didn’t have trouble stopping it at all last time. I didn’t even know it was addictive. So, hopefully I wont have trouble this time around. Thanks for a very informative video.
All the best and sending you good energy in your staying healthy and weight loss journey
You need to build a base of exercising and diet moderation prior to using phentermine in my opinion. I'm training for a half marathon and I am also on phentermine. I've been exercising prior to taking phentermine. Dropped from 232 lbs to 209 lbs from running alone with little to no diet change other than maybe being more aware of how much food I consume. I plateaued at 209 which is why I started taking the phentermine. I am now down to 202 lbs after 2 weeks on phentermine.
i also have hashimotos and have the exact same experiences. i completely understand for it does extremely help with feeling “normal” energy wise. thank you for sharing ❤
great video and break down thank you
I’ve been weightlifting strictly for 2 years now, but have been pretty lax on my diet. Still, in that period I was able to go from 105kg to 88kg. These last few months have been hard on my personal life though, and my diet worsened, and went back up to 98 kg. I decided to take a short 4 week treatment with 15mg to help push me back on the right track, 4 days in on my first week and am already at 95 kg, with proper training and diet it works wonders!
I agree with everything except the alcohol interaction. I am an alcoholic and I've been drinking daily since I was 13 (I am now 49). When I start taking Phentermine and continue taking it, for up to a couple of years, my alcohol consumption is considerably reduced. As you said, alcohol is a depressant and Phentermine is a stimulant, so I used to take Phentermine in the mornings around 9AM while at work, and I would still feel the effects well into the evening. I normally (without Phentermine) start my night of drinking around 6PM and end it around 11PM to go to bed (total of about 6 beers). With Phentermine, I do not feel like drinking at all, and the only reason I drink, this time, at around 9PM at night, is to take my sleeping medication (Ambien) and eat a few vegetables, and I would be out even before 11PM. I would not eat anything throughout the day other than a 16oz Red Bull and maybe a cream cheese bagel, then at night, just spinach, cucumbers, kale, etc. I know I explained a lot about my routine but haven't mentioned anything about the weight loss. I lost 80 lbs in about a year using this method. I also used to go to the gym and work out just on the treadmill or elliptical, not weights, and that helped me quickly lose the weight. Rebound? Yes! I kept taking it continuously for about three years and then I weened myself off of it, and I gained weight again. I then asked my doctor to start me on Phentermine again, and I did the exact same thing I did before, and I lost it again. Phentermine does work and you have to adjust your life when you start taking it and also you have to learn to let it go for a couple of years before you start consuming it again. Just my 2 cents to you and I liked your explanation. It's right up to the point with the exception of the alcohol, at least for me.
I just started taking Phentermine this week and I can attest to the suppression of appetite. It's exactly what I needed. I used to always be hungry and I would eat anything to satisfy my cravings. I'm really excited to start a new journey for my health.
Thanks for video. I took years ago for 2 months and lost the 15kg I needed to lose. I kept this off for 8yrs. Unfortunately due to a shoulder operation I have gained 20kgs again. So I will try again tomorrow, knowing that I will only do for a month or two just to help the constant hunger
I lost 37 lbs in the course of 3 months and I’ve been off of it for about a month and I’ve only gaine 5 lbs
This gives me hope that maintenance is possible after stopping the usage…Thankyou! 5 pounds is doable❤️🙌🏾
Gaining 5 pounds in a month is not a good sign especially for people that have a history of being over weight
Did you follow a special diet? I’m just starting on Monday few days ago
5 pounds is a lot in 1 month
Well, technically, yes. We must have a back up plan,..and everyone can be different! Isn’t that wonderful? For me, it’s intermittent water fasting. I stop eating at a certain hour, skip breakfast and begin (or have a “window” ) when I eat again. This, in combination with cooking organic foods…eating organic grains in my foods ( oatmeal, bulgar wheat, etc) and veggies 🥕 seems to work. I also make smoothies. Granted, it takes focus…and I do meal prep so things are already chopped & prepped for ease. I eat tortillas with Amy’s refried beans, substituted cheese, organic lettuces..yum.
@Dr. Brian Yeung, ND what is your opinion of Adipodine? Is it effect and is safe for human consumption?
I’d suggest to start by taking half a pill until you feel like it’s not doing anything/ any difference then kick it up to taking the whole pill to help kick that energy and to knock off the remain weight.
Very informative. Thank you. I’ve been on it before,stopped due to headaches trouble sleeping. I had lost 17 lbs in a month
Pair it with topiramate and you won't have issues sleeping
Topiramate is banned in Australia. Can only use it if you have epilepsy 😔@@kiaharper7172
I'm on day 3 and it's crazy. Was up all night, till 6am. I'm about to go mad!! Also I think the fast heart beat gives me anxiety
It been helpings me
Started on the medication about two weeks ago after working from home for 2yrs due to covid. I’ve been burnt out, stressed, lethargic, not used to sitting all day, and the heaviest I’ve ever been. Recently, I’ve been required to work out of the house at odd hours, and coffee/rest hasn’t helped. After starting phentermine, I haven’t had any coffee and even the little caffeine from a soda will make my heart race. I feel focused, energized, ready to get active. My appetite is gone and hunger feels like a passing thought, so i am forcing myself to eat, and eat healthier specifically. Overall, i have lost about 8 pounds and counting, increasing my daily exercise will probably be the key to keeping the weight off for good. Dry mouth and weird tastes are very much a thing, I keep water handy at all times. The only major side effect was pretty bad headache one day when I didn’t take the meds on time, which makes me a little nervous for when I get weaned off them.
Update, I have lost 20 pounds and counting. I would say it’s half attributed to the meds, half from better dieting and being active at work. The bitter aftertaste of food has helped me to m control my portions and l I even forget to eat during the day, I no longer eat to feel full or as a means to relieve stress. I will say, I have not been able to consistently take the meds; after the first two weeks of taking them every day, my heart felt like it was going to explode. My compromise is to take them Monday through Thursday and take Friday through Sunday off to help my body recalibrate. Again, I’m not sure if that’s healthy and someone will have to let me know if that’s bad, but I’ve noticed that the meds are still doing what they are supposed to do when I take them like that. Aside from that, I still don’t drink caffeine and my energy levels are pretty consistent. I would recommend taking vitamins during the process in order to account for the smaller food portions. I still have cheat days on the weekend, but overall am very happy with my results and will probably discontinue the meds once I can incorporate a real exercise regimen into my schedule.
@@PatDaBakerz thank you so much for sharing! if you have any more updates please let us know !!!
It works.
Where can I buy this in the uk?
I’ve lost 4 pounds in 2 days - I had no idea that was possible.
Water weight
I lost 10 lbs in a week. Goes to show how much we overeat
Is there a difference in the strength between the capsule and tablets?
I've been prescribed this more than once (have been on currently on for the past 6 months. I was on it years before this and it had no effect either), it doesn't do anything. However, I get palpitations (come and go), sweat (uncontrollably at times and it's NOT hot.... extremely embarrassing especially when at work/Medical field), I'm also on Jenny Craig (been for years which worked, but over the past year my weight came back with a vengeance and I have made no changes). I lost maybe 4lbs the entire time which fluctuates every month. I told my pcp I didn't want to take it and she responded with, "no, just keep taking it with the Topamax and it should work". I gained, now I've stopped the Topamax and busperione because that's typically used in conjunction with this medication... again, it has not worked for me and the side affects are embarrassing and make me feel terrible.
sorry for late reply, are the effects while on the pill only?
Where can I get them
So how do we get it ?
this video helped SO MUCH thank you! im lexi im 19 and ice been struggling with my weight since my junior year of highschool soo yea i bought my first bottle of phenemine it hasnt came in yet but im the typa girl where before i put something in my body i research it and find out everything about the product and hence why im here watching this video and now i feel alot safer taking phenemine. i cant wait to start! if anyone has any more info or something that i should know before taking it please LET ME KNOW

How did it work for you?
Stop it thank you very much for giving me a heads up on some of the diet plan that they have out on TV. But I would like to know if there's a supplement worth taking thank you.
It works only for 3 months. After it stops working just like doctor said .
I started taking this medication 2021 off of it for 6 months started started taking again in July 2022. Had my last doctors appointment May 22,2023 I lost a total of 71 lbs I went from a 33.7 bmi I’m now 23.5 I would love to share my pictures and story. I live in Southwest Mississippi white male 52 years old
HI I just started today and would like to chat with you about best practices for best results
Stay away from carbs drink lots of water walk for exercise treadmill is the best but walking in general is very keep up with your steps. An added bones pickles eat them often and drink the juice I normally eat a gallon of picky a week. Also eat lots of vegetables green beans spinach broccoli cauliflower good luck
Thank you
He is spot on. Be careful with this if you have thyroid problems like I do. It worked for me but the side effects like heart palpitations are not worth it.
I ended up having a catheter ablation to stop the palpitations after taking this. Don’t!!!
Same! It’s not worth it smh
@@Rubydiamondtruckerhow old are you and what were your physical symptoms
I have been very inconsistent with this drug and I have lost 45 pounds since September 2024. Definitely had a few platos. But I didn’t consistently take it. My doctor has given me 1 more 3 months supply so I am gonna be consistent and take this drug everyday to make sure I get the fullness of my medication
It curbs appetite but I felt jittery and my chest hurt. I even cut it in half. Still ended up in the hospital. I had to stop taking it.
I have taken Adipex-P about 3 or 4 times during the course of 15 years with great results. I however now live in a country where I can not get the same strength as adipex (37.5 mg) so when I took what’s available here 30mg it didn’t work at all. Any suggestions?
I want to use this medication but I’m afraid of it because of the monitoring the blood pressure I don’t want to have heart problems but the skinny
Hello I’ve taken pentamine on and off for years I love it it works I’ve had no problems with it and plenty of energy I love the feel I get when I’m on pentamine I don’t drink smoke or have anything else so and pretty healthy I want to know where I can purchase this I don’t seem to be able to get it anymore it comes in a different format and it’s nothing like the original front to me Thanks Kim headland
My doctor in Canada wouldn’t let me go on it….. I told him I’m trying to loose weight and I’m just always thinking about food we did a blood panel and he said I look good but Still won’t let me take it …. So my question is what did you say to your doctor to get on it ?
I'm on phentermine right now. I started a few days ago. I'm 5'2 and 161 lbs. I told the doctor I try to eat healthy and exercise 4-5x times a week. I mentioned how I fast but the weight doesn't want to come off...and say that you tried everything.
I started phentermine September 2nd and up to today I’ve went from 247 to 235! I’ve changed my diet and been working out regularly! I’m making this change a lifestyle so when I stop the phentermine I won’t be so dependent on it and will be able to keep the weight off. This 2nd week I’m cutting off meat COMPLETELY!
You're my motivation. Keep up the great work sis!
I start my phentermine tomorrow I went to the doctors last Wednesday and was 278 I started the diabetic diet before the pill and this morning I weighed 272 I’m excited but yet nervous about starting this but I need to loose weight , hopefully I will have great success with no bad side effects
What a sad story. Being a vegetarian is an amino-acid deficient diet, obesity is a diet with too many plants & not enough saturated-fat. Phentermine is a psychosis drug that can't be used for more than 12 weeks so there are no long-term studies on this really old substance.
What's your results now?
Why meat? You need fat and protein??
Ok will this work for someone who caffeine makes them sleepy
Red bull and coffee have the same amount of caffeine in them, around 80mg/8oz, espresso typically has 63 mg of caffeine in 1 ounce.
Is it bad for the kidney?
I took it two years ago. It worked. However it did raise my anxiety.
Same here I like it but my anxiety is crazy
Me too!!
I just started phentermine this week and it’s going great! Very little side effects, but I do have the changed mouth sensation. Bread feels like mush.
The drug got my sister pregnant with its psychosis & now she has legal bills for these doctor created child custody issues created by a pointless drug.
No side effects either. If I didn’t lose 9 pound in 10 days and not craving food anymore I would have thought I got prescribed placebo.
Update: I’m down 70 lbs since starting! It absolutely changed my life!
@@Hannah-um7fr update ?
@@lorrainelovee3941 I’ve lost about 70 lbs since I started. I’m off of it now since it’s not really needed. Absolutely changed my life :’)
I just started 15 mg about a two weeks ago and I have lost one pound. I’m definitely getting the dry mouth, heart palpitations, increased anxiety and insomnia. I want to lose weight so bad. I don’t know what to do.
Pound in two weeks with drugs? You lie on bed 24/7 ? Crazy you should be ashamed
Has anyone had any experience of feeling normal hunger during menstruation? I am feeling VERY discouraged because I was on this for such a short period of time and did begin to feel the appetite suppressant. I was beginning to lose (after losing 45 pounds on my own then the scale just STOPPED, I mean for weeks I didn't lose a thing and was so frustrated) and I noticed the difference but now I feel the hunger and I want to believe it is because of menstruation and not because it simply stopped working after such a short period of time.
Please, if anyone has experience with this scenario, I've been looking all over and have had no answers to this particular situation.
Worked great for me. I lost 60 pounds in 6 months. The only side-effect i had was loss of sleep the first 2 weeks. I only sleep around 5 hours normally, so when i was on it i didnt sleep much at all. But after the 2 weeks i went back to my normal sleep hours.
So I started going to the gym about 5 years ago. I was 330 lbs, and I put a lot of time into it. I focused primarily on Cardio & was going twice a day, 3 days a week, and then once a day, 3 days a week. I was also boxing 2-3 days a week as well. In addition, I cut out all soda, beer, alcohol, and milk, and I only had red meat about once every month (if that). In the first two weeks, I lost 20 lbs. Then, the following two weeks, I lost 10 lbs. After the first month, I started to lose on average about 4-5 lbs each week. Of course, I had a few hiccups where I gained some weight, but I stayed consistent at the gym, and in 5 months, I was down to 250 lbs. I felt great the whole time but noticed that after that 5 months, I started to plateau & just couldn't lose any more weight. It didn't matter if I ate less, better, or exercised more. Nothing I did was helping. I started to lift weights to target other parts of the body, and it worked for about 2 months. I got down to 240 lbs. Then again, I couldn't lose a pound, no matter what I did. This went on for over two years. Consistently going to the gym & eating fairly well but still zero weight loss & zero improvement in physical muscle appearance. I would just yoyo up & down about 8 lbs, back n forth. Finally, my Dr. Prescribed me phentermine. After the first week of using it, I was down to 230. I did notice a huge decrease in my appetite, but it didn't feel like it did much of anything else. I didn't feel anxious, no nausea, no shakes, I felt the same as always, but I just wasn't as hungry. About 2 months after taking it, I feel it just stopped working. I don't notice any difference in anything. I'm right back to feeling hungry all the time. There's no more weight loss, even though I'm doing MORE at the gym now. I even gained weight back, and I'm back up to 255. I stopped taking it for about 2 weeks but did notice that I gained about 10 lbs during that time. I started again but didn't lose any weight, but I'm also not gaining anymore. I've been at 255 for a long while now. I get off of it from time to time, but notice I'll gain weight, so I start again to at least maintain where I'm at . Any time I've been off of it, I've NEVER felt any type of addiction or withdrawal from it. Nothing at all. I've been trying to figure out what my next step is to start losing weight again...
Figure out your TDEE and Count your calories. There is no way you’re not losing weight while you’re on a deficit and working out. You can’t stay at the same deficit forever you have to keep going down. That’s why your deficits have to start maximum at 500 calories. When you plateau, go up to 600 and so on little by little. In order to lose one pound of fat Per week, you must be in a deficit of 3,500 calories Per week OR 500 calories per day. I say OR per week because u can always play around with daily calories as long as they add up to a deficit of 3,500 per week. Also, Remember not all calories are the same. 100 calories of broccoli is not the same as 100 calories of potato chips. The reason why you might not see improvement in muscle tone is because you are not doing progressive overload. You’re not challenging your muscles to work harder therefore they aren’t growing. I can say this because I am also in a plateau but I recognize it’s because I am not putting in the work. I eat clean and stay in a caloric deficit Mon- Thursday but make up for that deficit in my weekend not-so-healthy meals. So I’ve been stuck bc of my weekend habits. The only difference is I actually do progressive overload and and seeing my muscles grow but still there is a lot of fat over those muscles. My highest weight: 255, starting weight on May 2020: 247. Lowest weight about one year ago: 175 . Current weight : 180. And for the past year I’ve yo-yo up and down between 175-180. Bottom line I need to stop the BS. And stay consistent even on the weekends
I also go the gym 6 times a week & train in the classic bodybuilding style of 1 body part per week. 7 years ago, I was pre-diabetic & the endocrinologist prescribed me phentermine with Victoza injection (which was the first generation Ozempic). I lost 50 lbs in a year. I came off the Victoza & took the phentermine off & on for another 2 years. Like you, it stopped working & gradually, I began gaining weight again. I track all my food through Cronometer & have been wearing a Fitbit to track calories burned. There is no doubt that I burn more calories than I eat, yet I am gaining weight. In fact, I gained all the weight back over the 5 years of not taking prescription medications. Now my muscle mass has increased & my body is hard, but I have a layer of fat, especially on my midsection- abs & lower back. I am sure I'm insulin resistant and although I have tried natural supplements & even the keto diet, nothing works. I'm going to start Ozempic & see what happens. Metabolism changes dramatically as we age, I'm now a 49 year old woman, so I can't just "drop weight" like a 20 year old can. Hopefully, I'll lose the 50 lbs again & keep them off.
You have worked so hard and solidly it might be time to consider bariatric surgery.
Intermediate fasting!

I am on for three weeks and does not suppress my appetite at all
Hi doctor, i live in indonesia, is there any suggestion on where i can get the supplements?
I see one that are from online but it is called " duromine " my question is are they the same to the ones thaf i see on your video?
Thank you.
Phentermine is a doctor prescribed weight loss drug. It is not a supplement or something you can buy over the counter. Speak with your doctor.

ii would like to know where I can purchase the real McCoy pentamine thank you kim headland
My doctor prescribed me 15 milligrams. The second and third month 30 milligrams. She just stopped prescribing them for me. I thought she would wing me off them. I’m feeling so tired. To top it off I started massage therapy school a couple of days ago. I just wished she winged me off them. Then just to stop them just like that. Im curios Dr do you drop your patients dosage when they will be getting off them?
There’s a left/right bounce this doctor does with his head while talking. It’s so distracting yet entertaining! Lolll
Lmao yes!!
I’m using phentermine and so far it’s working buuuuuut when I get off of this medication I’m also trying to look into supplements that will help my to keep the weight off any suggestions?
Control your mouth and that's it..
@@edwinurena9768 easy for you to say
Try alli
@@mills143 great thanks
Stay in a calorie deficit. Use Phentermine as a tool to help u create healthy habits. If you don’t use this time to created healthy habits while your appetite is being suppressed with Phentermine, you will eat like u did before and gain weight back
I just got it prescribed to me and it makes me sleepy.
Me too😢
I get massive headaches on phetermine. Like ill be fine and not be hungry but the second i eat i feel like im coming off a high and i get headaches so bad and i get super sleepy. Due to that i stopped taking them after 2 doses. Any advice? I have taken it in the past and had great success but i didnt feel as sleepy after taking it as i do now.
I started back taking it again because I was having bad headaches and couldn't sleep so my doctor prescribed Topiramate 25mg. I have no more headaches and I'm losing a lot of weight I hope this help. You have to drink plenty of water.
Check your blood pressure and get a cardiac work up.
This medicine has the ability to increase Bp and increase heart rate
I was on it about 4 years ago lost a lot of weight working at Amazon over 2 weeks I
Lost 25lbs
My doctor has me on a 2 month program. Its incredible how little I eat. It better work. :-)
How about the side effects?
@@cleopatrajones90 I adjusted now. But no real side effects
how much did u lose so far
@@cleopatrajones90 30 pounds in 3 months. Do tor pulled me off it on Friday. He told me stick to diet and exercise.
Only on phentermine????
Here after Oscar Valdez popped.
lol
Lol me too… I guess why there not making it a big deal it’s just weight loss medicine and is actually bad for him. Still cheating but just saying
23 lbs down since late August I do take a couple other meds that I’ve been taking much longer but now I am experiencing major hair loss. I love the weight loss but would definitely stop using it if it is what’s causing my hair loss. I’m 57 and had tried this off and on over the years to no avail and not being consistent . Has anyone else experienced hair loss ?
Topomax made my hair fall out are you taking that also?
Hello, So I started Phentermine, today on day 5 I haven't lost anything. Yes, my appetite has decreased but why am I not losing? Years ago I was given a Phentermine tablet and it worked like a charm! I picked up my prescription the other day and they gave me capsules. I have a tingling sensation but no weight loss. Any idea why? Could it be the capsule? I have always been very active so that's not a problem. When can I start losing weight? Thanks
You definitely aren't the first person to tell me about different effects from the tablet vs capsule. So yes, it's possible the tablet form works better for you. Check with your doctor, since it's possible phentermine may not be working for you anymore, or the dosage was different last time.
Can I take ovosital while taking phentermine ?
I always thought 37.5 mg was an extremely specific dose and always wondered why they didn’t just round up to 40 or down to 35.
That's just the standard doses for Adipex. Generic phentermine often comes in rounded 15mg and 30mg doses. I don't know why the Adipex brand name has such specific dosing. Maybe they want to feel special :)
@@BrianYeungND how many mg can I take x day? My Dr in Mexico prescribe me 1 tab 30mg 3 times x day but I did 1 x day and increase 2 but my head feels like numb or heavy but not headaches.
That doctor wants to kill you
I’m on generic 37.5
I cannot sleep at all on this. Stayed up till 6 am
how many mg were you taking?
Yes If I drink more then 1 cup of coffee I can't sleep at night so this is definitely going to affect my sleep. I'm actually thinking about taking an edible around 6 pm to help me sleep! I'm going hard for 1 month just to help me form new habits!
@@riveratech1 37.5 mg. I'm now on the 15mg and I take two of those, at least it's 17.5 mgs smaller. I got off it for a month and now I'm on it again. I only go on it for two months or so, so my body doesn't get used to it and it loses effectiveness ( which can happen)
This drug made me sleepy, tired, and I had no energy at all. And I didn’t not lose even 100 grams 😢😢😢😢
Tried a half a pill twice and my blood pressure spiked from 130/90 to 145/103 and I’m on bp meds. If you blood pressure is already sensitive, don’t waste you money on this pill.
I took this after having my child and gaining weight. The np had me also go in every month for a b12 shot. I lost 50 lbs in 6 months. Thinnest I’ve ever been as an adult. However, I hated taking it. It gave me horrible restless legs at night making it very difficult to sleep and it made my heart do weird things. It did make me not feel hungry which really helped me moderate my portions and make better choices of what I was eating. It also gave me energy so I was able to get more movement in than normal which helped me exercise, walk, take the stairs, do 5ks… Once I hit 6 months, I plateaued and it stopped working. I quit taking it and continued feeling not hungry and able to keep eating healthy for about 4 years after. Then all-of-a-sudden I was feeling super hungry again, cravings, energy gone… ended up gaining all of the weight back plus put on another 30 lbs on top of that. I tried several times since then to use it again, but now it just doesn’t do anything at all. No energy, I still feel hungry, my heart hurts, my legs won’t let me sleep. For 4 years I felt amazing, I felt normal, I felt comfortable in my own skin.. and now it’s just gone. No matter what I do, I can’t lose any weight and I’m the biggest I’ve ever been in my life. It’s just like any other weight loss quick fix. You can’t take it forever and it isn’t sustainable. Plus, it damages your heart and nervous system.
did you get heart damage hun? I am on day 2 and want to take this for 1 month to lose a little weight because i am afraid of using it longer due to possible heart damage.. please let me know, thanks!
I would get blood work done to see if it’s thyroid or hormonal imbalances or any underlying medical condition. I have been dealing with losing weight and gaining it all back and I am at my heaviest 225 pounds after weighing 144 last year after getting out the hospital for a medical condition so I am in the same boat even if I eat healthy or unhealthy the weight did not budge. I would also check your body type endormorph body types have slow metabolism and gain weight easily so cutting out all processed foods and limiting on carbs/sugar intakes or alternating on sugar and carbs to keep your body guessing,apple cider vinegar and a metabolic booster can probably help to. Always check with your doctor first. I am going to try this pill to see if it will help with losing the weight since it’s an appetite suppressant. I wonder if they have prescribe metabolic pills for slow metabolism as well that is super strong.
Can I take this while on birth control?
Following
I am. I take tri sprintec
My wife is addicted to it and she’s very skinny already
Oh yeah take early the first wk I couldn't sleep a wink and I took it at 6am ugh
👍
Why not just use lomaira which is at 8mg per tablet instead of using the generic at 37.5 capsule? same drug effects with less of the negative side effects.
NOT SAME EFFECTS. Lomaira will probably work for those who want to lose 10 or 15 lbs. it won’t work for people who have a lot of weight to lose.
Lomaira was bothersome to me because you have to remember to take it 30 min before you eat. At least with Adipex, you take it in the morning, and that's it.
Is Phentramine good for adhd?
It is not prescribed for ADHD generally. Adderall is the most common ADHD medication.
Yes actually, it's different for everyone though. I am taking it for my adhd and it helps with my focus... It is also helping me with my weight too
I get very tired when I take phentermine
Does it give you energy?
Some patients tell me it helps with energy.
I've been using phentermine on and off for the last year, always in 2 months bursts and having extended breaks inbetween. I went in knowing to use it to help reinforce healthy habits and adapt to my new eating plan with a managable caloric deficientcy. Lost 60kg in my first year.
Tell me about your product
Thank you for this video. I started taking it today. My doctor told me to take it first thing in the morning as it would keep me awake. But an hour after I took it I was so tired I couldn't keep my eyes open (I am know to have odd side effects w/ medications like meds that should make you tired wire me to the point I can't sit still). I took it at 7:30am, at 8:30am took a nap until 11am. I ate a applesauce fruit cup. Now it is 6pm and I have ate nothing else and am not hungry at all. I feel like I should eat, like my intelligent brain is telling me that its not ok to go all day with just a fruit cup (like 1/2 cup of applesauce) but my belly isn't at all interested in food. Is this normal? I figure if Im still not hungry in an hour I'll eat anyways and call my dr tomorrow.
How is it working out for u?
hello! any updates?
@@poycicle1953 Sorry, for the delay. After a few days it stopped making me so tired and I was able to go about my normal day. I still eat a very light lunch and then normal by dietitian size dinner. I do sometimes have to remind myself to eat or it will get very late before I actually feel hungry. I lost 10 pounds the first month. It would have been more most likely but I got bronchitis in the middle of the month and was put on steroids because I have asthma. So I stopped taking phentermine until I was better. It was about 2 weeks. I am back on it now and go back to the Dr on the 13th of Oct. Will update on progress then. 😊
@@dirtydanimal3946 just updated below 😊
I took this and it did absolutely nothing for me. It only kept me awake. I didn’t lose one pound and I was on a diet faithfully 😡😡
Is there a difference between PHENTERMINE and PHENTRAMINE ?
Yes. PHENTERMINE is the prescription drug I'm talking about. "PHENTRAMINE" appears to be a similarly-named, over-the-counter supplement with no relation to the drug.
Weight loss tip: Liquid diets are an effective weight loss tool.
So is there something better than phentermine? I have high blood pressure.
This medication gives me a massive spike in anxiety to the point of panic. Can’t take it.
Any advice?
Why does everyone who gets off it gain the weight back and have to get back on it again? Everyone I see say that they got off all gained their weight back..
Yep once u stop taking it u will gain all ur weight back and then some be- careful ... It's a great appetite suppressant for sure
If the long side effects on the prescription paper was a person🤦🏽♀️
I’ve been taking it about a week now. I’ve been getting headaches, dry mouth, dizziness, nausea, tingling in hands and feet…feeling a bit more energy, eating less but no weight loss yet. Should I continue taking it? Will those side effects go away eventually with continued use?
Same here, your symptoms are the same as mine
Prob dehydrated
does it make you angry
You can become over stimulated for sure
Everything has risks, phentermine and plastic surgery...just exercise and eat healthier foods guys because it's the safest way to lose weight.
No
So it will make a drug test positive…
Yes for amphetamine
Yes it will
Been using it now for about a week and a half I’m now at 346 lbs and 6”6” and was 367. I lost 21 lbs in that time. I’m morbidly obese so the weight has been falling off quicker due to extreme calorie restriction and and drinking lots of water (probably around 3 gallons per day). The weight loss clinic I’m in said not to do that cuz my electrolytes could be expelled from my body but I have to say I still feel hungry on it. I’m taking a tablet and a half. Probably not enough for someone my size. I just am trying to ignore my hunger at this point. I hope they’ll one day make a drug to reduce Grellin if it doesn’t already exist. That kinda drug would probably be more effective cuz then you just won’t get hungry at all.
You lost 21 pounds you are trying keep trying and keep it up !!
Make sure to do some form of exercise, even if it's just walking for 30 minutes a day.
@@JustThePR Absolutely! I typically walk anywhere from 4-8 miles each night and other nights I’ll do the elyptical machine at the 24 hour gym and leg workouts as well. I wanna do strength training for my upper body but have tennis elbow currently. Once I get that taken care of though I’ll be doing a ton more strength training. I’ve since gotten to 315 so it has been working but I found it’s good to take other things with the phentermine like a thermogenic fat burner.
It the easiest way of losing weight.
I’m 42 and taking phentermine 37.5z. I’ve taken this before years ago and it did wonders for my energy and weight.
A few days ago, after a week of taking it I became so fatigued and exhausted that it scared my sister, husband and kids. I had been tired on it all week, but Saturday was the nail in the coffin for me. I thought I was going to die I was so out of it. And my doctor won’t be in until tomorrow to discuss it with me.
Has anyone ever had this kind of polarized reaction to this drug?
I started almost week ago and I’m having the same fatigue yesterday & today. Feels like I’m super weak. Is this common?!
@@Thunderlicious79 take one half I’m the morning 1 hour before breakfast and the other half before lunch. Make sure there’s at least five hours between the last time you ate. And after a month of doing that. Your next refill you ahold be able to take it normally.
Well Einstein, you’re doing remarkably well considering you’re supposed to be dead.
Phentermine? PhenPhen. Back in 80's DIDNT work for me.
This is not good to take this drug if you have high blood pressure
Also causes psychosis, its a side effect
Aderall makes me sick phentermine does not
Adipex is not worth it… you may loose some weight on it but you’ll more than likely gain it all back once you get off of it because it’s a stimulant. That’s what happened to me.
This sounds the same as meth.
