I have used Phentermine with great success, losing 83 pounds in six months. Of course, it was in conjunction with a plant-based diet of about 1500 calories per day, and walking for exercise. I tried Topirimate, but had terrible bouts of anger, along with blurry vision and brain fog. It was not for me, unfortunately.
@@Brian-fm1zp Not from the phentermine, other than eventually regaining my appetite. I can only speak for myself, but I didn't have any withdrawal or side effects when I stopped.
@@Brian-fm1zp I started out with half of a 37.5mg for two weeks, then increased to 37.5 daily. After two months, I was able to cut back to half a pill and not be as hungry. I think it's because I was eating less and had been practicing better eating habits.
I took Topamax for 2 years titrating up and eventually started losing my hair . I was taking the medication for Migraines. I lost at least 25 lbs on Topamax but I stopped it due to hair loss which I found out later was a side effect.
@@MT-yx5cu thanks for the reply! I’ve decided to take it. But I’m taking multivitamins, and will incorporate some other vitamins and methods I know to counter act the risk of hair fall (:
Taking phentermine and topamax lost 16 pounds in a month and now close to 30 pounds my doctor only wants me on both for 6 months i just have a little hrain fog from the topamax i plan to take my brain herbs i use to take everyday those always worked well by left ear will tigle sometimes but it doesnt bother me but I also have little appetite and barely eat and i cut out a lot of bad foods and i think the pills make my breath stink i hate it and mouth taste weird but i like the appetite reducer but soo fat like 30 pound in 4 months is good
I lost 90lbs using Phentermine + portion control/healthier choices over the course of about one year. I was on the 15mg, then the 30, and then 37.5mg during that time. I mostly kept the weight off for a few years.
I was shocked to find out that Topirimate could help with weight loss since I was on it for around 10 years for migraines & it certainly didn't help me lose weight lol. I stopped taking it because I got tragus piercings that helped my migraines, + a doc thought it was the main culprit causing my chronic kidney stones. (Definitely not "just the case", but none the less...my migraines haven't increased since stopping it.)
I suspect your doctor was trying to save you money. My doctor prescribed bupropion and naltrexone (instead of Contrave) for this reason. I’m grateful she did. I’ve had good success with this combination. I understand pharmaceutical companies need to recoup research costs. However, the markup on these newly patented combinations of drugs seems excessive when their components are available separately in generic form. I liked Dr Brian’s comments about prescribing phentermine and topiramate separately as a DIY Qsymia. As he said, the formulation of Qsymia can’t be exactly replicated, but given my experience with bupropion/naltrexone (vs contrave) I would definitely talk to my doctor about taking phentermine and topiramate instead of Qsymia.
Are you working out and eating right? If not then you wont lose weight. You have to take the crackhead energy that comes from the pills and burn it off. You have to do more than just take the pills. You gotta work out and you gotta eat right.

Did you experience withdrawals when you stopped?

@@suzys9098 my appetite has not really been reduced from taking it, on 15mg. It may reduce a little but then comes back strong.

As soon as u stop taking it u will gain all ur weight back and then some.
Phentermine had me up for days! Meth in a pill !
It gave me crazy insomnia as well.😢
As soon as I heard it was a derivative of meth, I said no thanks.
@@jerzeygirl1280 😳😫😖
Yes but I lost almost 40 lbs on it tho 😂😂
I am currently taking phentermine and Topamax both I didn't see any side affect I work out six days a week and lost 12 pound in one month
I’m only taking topirimate and it works by itself 7 lb in a month
Im kinda scared to take it
@@jessejones3038 me too
I truly appreciate the detail you provide in all your videos.

Oh my...I was just prescribed 25 mg for migraines. What dosage did you start experiencing the hairloss? This is a fear of mine.
Would you rather be fat or bald?
@@MT-yx5cuhow’s it going for you? What dose are you on? Did you have hair loss?
@@nylajaali Hi! I didn't take it. I didn't want to take the risk of losing my hair.

Did you experience withdrawals when you discontinued the meds?
Did you take Phentermine on a empty stomach? Or with food?
🎉🎉🎉🎉
@@toyking03I took mine on an empty stomach. After taking it I worked out. I did cardio and weight lifting. I lost 40 lbs so far.
Great Video!

I take topimax, and have taken Phentermine even at the same time.
How does phenyermine compare to Topamax?
My doc prescribed phentermine and topiramate for weight loss rather than Qsymia. I’m not sure why though.

I have been taking phentermine for 1 month and I'm not loosing any weight. Should I continue to use?
Are you also dieting and exercising? Are you still overeating? You should contact your doctor.
Are you working out and eating right? If not then you wont lose weight. You have to take the crackhead energy that comes from the pills and burn it off. You have to do more than just take the pills. You gotta work out and you gotta eat right.
Very helpful
