Answers to the most common questions I am asked about phentermine and topiramate (Topamax). Please share with anyone looking for help with weight loss.
@@moonrice555 she doesn’t push it, she talks about it, it’s different. Weight loss is not only about eating less, there are several hormonal issues (like hypothyroidism, adrenal issues, insuline resistance, etc) that will make it extremely difficult for some people to lose weight. Even with the cutting out of fatty/sweet foods from their diet. For these people losing weight is not a matter of eating less and moving more, the hormonal issues slow the metabolism and prevent the body from getting rid of extra weight. These people need medications like that otherwise they’ll stay at an unhealthy weight and develop even more serious health issues.
I wish you were my dr because you seem really logical when it comes to aiding in weight loss using prescriptions. My GP before told me to "Lay off of junk food" but I really had been on a diet, but it resulted in binging on carbs :( So basically I believe something like phentermine which controls appetite could have helped me years ago if my dr didnt just tell me exercise more eat less.. but instead gave me something to really help me do that! Now Im making an appointment with a weight loss clinic that uses b12 shots and phentermine and I hope I see results. Thanks! More drs need to be like you because being obese gives so many life threatening risks! and it really sucks and makes people feel trapped .
We may be fighting the food industry, but I beg to add that we are also fighting faulty body systems. We were not all created equal. Some of us need more help than others ever will!!!
Phentermine was a complete disaster for me. Did not sleep for days even on sleeping tablets. Tried low dose Topamax, absolutely love it. Definitely lifted my mood, low appetite, weight is just falling off, hardly any noticable side effects. Will try and stay on lowest dose possible but I'm in love with life again.
I just started on this medication after seeing my new doctor who is an internist. I didn’t have a clue what Phentermine was but he said it was an appetite suppressant. We had discussed my need to lose weight, I had gained 40 pounds in 4 months. I’m 5’1” and before starting this medication was at 191. I’m hoping to be able to stay on this medication more than 3 months because it has REALLY helped with appetite and energy!! I know that exercise will only help me keep that energy level up all the time. It’s been 4 days and I lost 5 lbs (of water) but also started my cycle today. I normally bloat just before my cycle so I was happy about the weight loss, even if it is water. Thank you SO MUCH for doing these videos, they are life changing. I feel so much better about taking this now.
I start with phentermine 8/8/18 into 1/30/18 and I loss 30 pound i was 193 and now i 160 pound i so happy ☺️☺️😃😃 now i start to helping all my friends and familiys or wherever who needs some help 🙌🙌 Thank you Doctor 👩⚕️
Tony Z To lose 1 pound is 3500 calories so there has no way unless you some how burned over 40, 000 calories? Maybe you lost 2 pounds and 14 pounds of water ....maybe but not likely
i am currently taking this combo. there is a pharmacy where i live that is compounding this for me. day 3 and so far I have not been hungry what so ever. I eat a little because i don't want my blood sugar to dip.
I start my program with phentermine 8/8/18 I was 193. Pounds In 3 months I loss 25.5 pound I so crazy happy this medication is very good and safe I recommend to everyone this pill works
Hi, I know that your comment is a year old... But, im wondering if you could give a update or share any of your experiences with us :) . I am feeling female 5'6 and 197 lbs . I have lost a lot of weight ( on 2 occasions ) and , then put most of it back on :( . I look very attractive at 150 to 170 pounds. I must be bigger framed or something, because anything below 150 lbs, I look very unhealthy . Anyway, how are you doing? Are you at the San weight? Did you gain any back, or lost more?
I really liked your video I have been on Qsymia for about three months now and have lost pretty well but I was paying out of pocket a lot of money and my doctor put me on these two combinations I just started a couple of days ago so we will see how this combination will be due
Dimension in one of your videos to take calcium and vitamin d with Phentermine 37.5 For it to work even better and it did for me .My weight came down fast I went 203 to 162 in 3months the first two weeks nothing was happening I found one of your videos and you said to take the vitamin calcium and vitamin d and it worked for me .Thank You
This is great! I tried Phentermine alone and it worked for the first 4 days then stopped completely for the rest of the 3 months. I’m going to restart so I’m going to take it with Vit d and calcium ❤ thank you 😊
This was very helpful!! I was prescribed both separately but more concerned about the topiramate for reasons you mentioned. I'm only going to take the phentermine and hope that works👍😊
@@annafelipe6500 Really? Yes, definitely from my doctor. I had never even heard of these pills until my doctor talked about them with me and prescribed them. But still having never heard of them is why I'm on TH-cam trying to find out more. I used to go to a doctor who refused to prescribe anything and would come up with stories like "they don't make those" or "I'm not allowed" my favorite one was "there's no such thing as inhaler" when my daughter needed it for asthma 🤣. Needless to say, we got rid of that doctor. Do you go to regular family physician?
I’ve been on Phentermine for 3 months and I’m down 26 lbs (with exercise & healthy eating) but it’s getting harder now so my doctor prescribed topamax to add to the Phentermine. I started today! I slept sooo good😂. Let’s see where this takes my weight loss journey!
I was ok phentermine for 1 month and lost 25lbs, but couldn’t take my adderall. My doctor changed me to Topamax, and I’ve gained half of the weight back and haven’t changed my diet or exercise.
Again, another great vlog. Love the information. On a personal note, you look very rested and pretty today. You have a healthy glow I hope to achieve for my own skin soon. Still working towards my goals and haven't slipped up yet. Thanks.
I recently started taking topamax for my bipolar disorder type 1 that I was diagnosed with at 10. It has helped significantly within the past 3 months along with helping my migraines. I have lost 6kg all up. I love it. I don't know what you're talking about assurance wise because I'm Australian though, lmao.
@@debbierobeson7061 it can been used off label ...for other uses, weight loss, also for diabetes and as noted by rachel, bipolar since it's a mood stabilizer
I lost weight but ended up with drop foot from Topamax. It effected my brain in the way I couldn't think properly. The drop foot went away after stopping the drug. I'm taking Ozempic now with good results.
I’ve been taking peroxetine for almost a year now. I found that when I started weaning off the anti depressant the effects of the duromine decreased. Started the anti depressant again and it’s working like a charm
I trialled topirimate for migraine prevention. Initially I got a placebo affect, I thought I was onto a winner. I had various side effects, but they were ok, but then the prickly sensations in my feet turned into pain - peripheral neuralgia - so I had to quit. The migraines came back too. Still it was worth a try.
I took Topomax for chronic migraines and although it actually cured my chronic migraines, it gave me brain shocks and speech problems that caused me to go to speech therapy for stuttering and word-retreival trouble! Odd fact: Topomax made it so I couldn't taste any carbonation so I did stop drinking any sodas...
I've been on topiramate for years as an adjunctive medication for epilepsy. I've also had the speech/word retrieval problems, very minor though. Very negative thoughts. I'm switching to Depakote as we speak. It's a terrible drug.
I was taking phentermine and 5HTP for years. I learned a lot from my doctor who monitored me everywhere months. With his help, Ive been abled to maintain a healthy weight. I do not take any other meds. But, he retired and now I'm gaining weight. I don't want to develop diabetes or any disease in order to get phentermine. I'm lost as to where to find a reputable doctor who would prescribe phentermine. I live in the northern Virginia area and my weight loss doctor practiced in Gaithersburg, MD. Any suggestions on where to find a Reputable weight loss doctor who would prescribe phentermine with monitoring would be appreciated.
So after you reach your goal on the phentermine is there anything you can take over the counter to help sustain your appetite and also with changes on my eating habits. I prefer to not take it more than 3 months. I have a very bad graving for sweets so I need that taste removed out my brain lol!! I would be good!
I’ve lost 13 pound over the last week and a half on topamax which I originally started taking for the mood stabilizer because of my bipolar disorder. Can you stay on topamax permanently?
I have tetralogy of fallot, had open heart surgery last year. My doctor got me to take this to help me lose weight. I’m a little worried it’s not good for me
I’m in on topiramate for severe migraine but I’ve also change my eating habits about two months before they prescribed it to me n started losing weight I was in green smoothly shakes n a high protein meal plan n lost 15 pounds n now that I’m on topiramate I’m not sure if that’s helping me as well n I’m scared if I stop taking will some of the weight I loss come back ugh?? I also have thyroid issues as well
I lost 20 pounds on Phentermine 37.5 milligrams I feel like my body adapt to it so I have to get Stricker on my nutrition to be keep losing weight should I switch to something else that does the same work like Belviq or Topamax?
I wonder if I have undiagnosed attention deficit disorder and that's why Phentermine makes me tired. 5-hour energies used to have the same effect on me where I'd be like all right taking this 5-hour energy I'm going to get everything done down half a bottle or even a quarter of a bottle and I'm out like a light lol
I’m currently in school and I’m about to get on topamax I have read that it will affect my memory is that likely on a 50mg dose? Does is wear off? Any advice to prevent the memory loss side effect?
I'm really bummed out. I'm on day two of the phentermine-topiramate mix and im all over the place. Tired AF and very moody/emotional. Going to try for two weeks to see if ill stabilize but im not sure if I can handle this. BUT! Im not hungry! 😌
My doctor prescribed me phentermine yesterday and I was on the internet and called my doctor and asked for topiramate because I heard that the both work good together how did you feel taking both?
@Jennifer A exactly as I stated girl. I felt so shitty for some reason...but I was not hungry AT ALL. Not even thirsty, which led to getting a UTI. Not fun. I lost about 14lbs in 3 weeks. I couldn't handle the side effects but everyone has a different physiology
I started this on Friday (8/4/17) and On Sunday (8/6/17) I weighed myself and I lost 6 pounds !!! I started at 204 and no joke i had to weigh myself 7× bc I thought it was wrong lol. This stuff works wonders !!!! I never thought i was going to get out of the 200's 😣 But I did 😆 As of today (8/7/17) I weigh 197 😊
Nefertiti Townes That's great !!! I stalled at 185 for about a month now but recently I broke it idk how but I did lol can't be mad at that . I actually stopped taking it for a month and just been taking it every other day or couple of days. I've actually been really hard to control myself I have been eating bad sadly but very suprised I still lost weight I am now 180 . Not advising in anyway to do bad lol that was just me. Keep up whatever ur doing bc it's working 😃
I am having horrible uncontrollable tongue movement due to the mix of these to medications and was told it is a side effect my tongue is jerking moving in episodes on its on I been on phen.5mo. monitored and was add on tompomax not even by request but have been on for 2 weeks all this started Sunday night. will this go away am I going to die have u ever heard or seen this before last night it lasted for at least 6mins. I'm scared input please
it definitely takes the taste away from soda Pepsi,Coca-Cola, dr. Pepper Mountain, Dew-it tastes like pure carbonated water! it's just awful to me and it's wonderful at the same time😊 because I won't drink it.. I've been eating a lot less, I don't feel like I want to engorge myself anymore, I don't feel like I'm starving, I don't have cravings, it's wonderful!!!
I love love phentermine its worked great for me because I already eat well and exercise so this has just help my weight loss 3 months 16lbs .today my doctor added topiramate and I am so scared afrer reading all the side effects.
I am on my 2nd cycle of phentermine and I haven't had much results in the first month. I only lost 4 lbs. I quit drinking diet coke, upped my fluid intake by double, started walking, been having weekly B-12 injections, trying to limit my sugar intake and carbs. My doctor was not happy with my weight loss for the first month, nor was I. I feel I have implemented many healthy lifestyle choices this month and am really proud of eliminating some bad habits (drinking diet coke....it was hard!!) I am on 200 mg. Of Gapapentin for fibromyalgia pain. Could the gabapentin be holding back my weight loss? One other thing to note, is I have had thyroid cancer and total thyroidectomy. My thyroid levels are WNL. But could this also be a hindrance to my weight loss? Last question, do you see a more difficult time with weight loss during the second cycle compared to the 1st cycle? Thank you!
I take phentermine 15mg and trokendi 150mg they work really good together I take them around 9-10am I just notice that the effects were off around 5-6 and I want to eat a late dinner
I Want You For My Doctor. My Dr is forever telling me how he lost weight without medication. He said I should just eat vegeatbles, turkey, chicken and drink water.This is the second month that I am on Phentermine. I lost 10 lbs with some change in my diet. I am still working on that. I am a 60yrs old and I am 194 lb. I really need to lose at least 25 pounds for health reasons. I will not see my Dr. again because I feel bad after the visit. Is there something over the counter I could buy that can help. Please Reply.
I lost 3 kg in 7 days on 50mg Topiramate daily, but I am now on 100mg Topiramate daily and my weight loss has stopped and it’s day 14, is this normal? My appetite seems to have slowly increased again also. Should I put my dose up?
I have problems maintaining my diet, at night i always get some snacks or drink some milk. Phentermine helps me control these diversion. The uppiness also made me exercise, it's such a waste not using it to exercise.
Phentarmine made me painfully constipated. I'm not on Topiramate. I'm on my 2nd dose. I'm surprised that I don't think about food. But it's only two days, so we'll see. I'm also on a path to gastric sleeve surgery. BMI 41, 5'10" 289#. I'm hoping Topiramate helps me cope as a tool until I get to the next tool which is sleeve surgery.
Yes that is one of the things it will do I am the same way! U have to eat a lot of fiber in your diet or take the chewables or u can take a laxative Phillips milk of magnesia one a week it works faster and smoothly with no cramping! I prefer this way because all of what u have eaten is binded up and a good cleanse helps the process of the pills! And drink LOTS of water u will be surprised how much fluid u have built up in u!
Phentermine constipated me too so I took supplements to help with that. I lost 26 lbs in 3 months and started having a harder time so my doctor added Topamax to my weight loss program. Let’s see where this goes!
Hello, try taking it a half hour before any meal. The dose can also be split into twice during the day. You can always try a different medication such as contrave, topamax, or victoza if you have no medical reason that these would be contraindicated.
I'm also interested in this question. I have been taking phentermine 8 weeks. Maybe the last two weeks I've noticed my appetite returning. My dr has suggested topamax, but I'm a little worried about the side effects? Any suggestions would be helpful.
Phentermine was terrible for me. Didn't work and made me feel sick to the point where I would vomit and I felt dizzy and out of it all day. I got Topamax for my chronic migraines and actually had no idea it helped with weight loss as well. My pharmacists and doctors only tell me what I need to know for my particular situation and don't really tell me what the side effects are either. I'm just now actually taking them after having them for about 2 years. I have them in 25 and 50 mg.
I lost 8 in 3 weeks however I keep add I g 2 back and then losing it. any idea why its not staying off and that I haven't lost anymore in the last week? am I in a stall?
When you lose weight you actually will burn fewer calories with the same exercise. You may want to exercise with weights. Sometimes fluid shifts will make the weight loss difficult to interpret. If you are doing weight training then the muscle mass will make it look like your are not losing adipose (fat) tissue. If you have access to a ymca or trainer, see if someone can do a body composition test on you. If your clothes are fitting better then you are building muscle mass and the weight will look like it is coming off slower.
DOllface Juggalette how many mil a day? Im not a medical expert but i take topirimate and it helps me. Id say u prob have to take 100mg per day tho. Thats the case for me anyway.
Oh Can you do a side effects of phentermine? The only side effect I have noticed was some tingling on my hands and feet. But once I move around it goes away. And dried mouth. Should I be concerned about the tingling? Or will it go away after time?
I was on the Phentermine. Years ago my new doctor have put me on it along with this other drug. I have not took this new drug now I'm scared to take it because if Phentermine makes me happy. I talk a lot I run around I do more exercise. I don't want anything to bring my mood down. Or alter me in any way. But I do want to lose this weight can you help me Dr.🌝
The toprimax alone I lost 16 lbs didn’t need the other med at all I only take 25mg at night and I sleep great ...i have no other side effects .. the sleeping is great lol yayyy
Wish there were more doctors like her.
You mean doctors that push dangerous drugs instead of telling people to eat less? There are plenty of them.

I wonder if I have undiagnosed attention deficit disorder and that's why Phentermine makes me tired. 5-hour energies used to have the same effect on me where I'd be like all right taking this 5-hour energy I'm going to get everything done down half a bottle or even a quarter of a bottle and I'm out like a light lol
Can we use phentermine in conjunction with saxenda or should we go one at a time ?
I’m currently in school and I’m about to get on topamax I have read that it will affect my memory is that likely on a 50mg dose? Does is wear off? Any advice to prevent the memory loss side effect?
Can you talk this with Lotrel, atenolol and Pristiq?
Can you link the study so I can print and take to my doctor Thank you.
Helped meal ort
I'm really bummed out. I'm on day two of the phentermine-topiramate mix and im all over the place. Tired AF and very moody/emotional.
Going to try for two weeks to see if ill stabilize but im not sure if I can handle this.
BUT! Im not hungry! 😌
Hi there!how are you doing now with your weight and the side effects?
My doctor prescribed me phentermine yesterday and I was on the internet and called my doctor and asked for topiramate because I heard that the both work good together how did you feel taking both?
@Jennifer A exactly as I stated girl. I felt so shitty for some reason...but I was not hungry AT ALL. Not even thirsty, which led to getting a UTI. Not fun. I lost about 14lbs in 3 weeks.
I couldn't handle the side effects but everyone has a different physiology
@Becky MC I stopped taking after about 3.5 weeks. I lost about 14lbs. I was just feeling too icky
What about dental care along with phentermine? Does phentermine ruin your dental health?
I started this on Friday (8/4/17) and On Sunday (8/6/17) I weighed myself and I lost 6 pounds !!! I started at 204 and no joke i had to weigh myself 7× bc I thought it was wrong lol. This stuff works wonders !!!! I never thought i was going to get out of the 200's 😣 But I did 😆 As of today (8/7/17) I weigh 197 😊

Keep up whatever ur doing bc it's working 😃
Do you take topiramate?
My Dr. just placed me on Tenuate is it better than Phentrrmine?
How long before trying for another baby should I stop taking topiramiate?

Pepper Mountain, Dew-it tastes like pure carbonated water! it's just awful to me and it's wonderful at the same time😊 because I won't drink it.. I've been eating a lot less, I don't feel like I want to engorge myself anymore, I don't feel like I'm starving, I don't have cravings, it's wonderful!!!

I love love phentermine its worked great for me because I already eat well and exercise so this has just help my weight loss 3 months 16lbs .today my doctor added topiramate and I am so scared afrer reading all the side effects.
Hi! Would you send me the tittle of the papper, please? :)
I am on my 2nd cycle of phentermine and I haven't had much results in the first month. I only lost 4 lbs. I quit drinking diet coke, upped my fluid intake by double, started walking, been having weekly B-12 injections, trying to limit my sugar intake and carbs. My doctor was not happy with my weight loss for the first month, nor was I. I feel I have implemented many healthy lifestyle choices this month and am really proud of eliminating some bad habits (drinking diet coke....it was hard!!) I am on 200 mg. Of Gapapentin for fibromyalgia pain. Could the gabapentin be holding back my weight loss? One other thing to note, is I have had thyroid cancer and total thyroidectomy. My thyroid levels are WNL. But could this also be a hindrance to my weight loss? Last question, do you see a more difficult time with weight loss during the second cycle compared to the 1st cycle? Thank you!
This didn’t work for me and coming off this medication was horrible. I felt sick for two weeks . Light headed and dizziness.
I take phentermine 15mg and trokendi 150mg they work really good together I take them around 9-10am I just notice that the effects were off around 5-6 and I want to eat a late dinner
gracia95613 same. Do you nap alot and sleep 5 to 6 hours?
Do u take before meal or after meal?
Please tell the the doses of combination of both medicine?
I Want You For My Doctor. My Dr is forever telling me how he lost weight without medication. He said I should just eat vegeatbles, turkey, chicken and drink water.This is the second month that I am on Phentermine. I lost 10 lbs with some change in my diet. I am still working on that. I am a 60yrs old and I am 194 lb. I really need to lose at least 25 pounds for health reasons. I will not see my Dr. again because I feel bad after the visit. Is there something over the counter I could buy that can help. Please Reply.
I lost 3 kg in 7 days on 50mg Topiramate daily, but I am now on 100mg Topiramate daily and my weight loss has stopped and it’s day 14, is this normal?
My appetite seems to have slowly increased again also.
Should I put my dose up?
Does exercise really need during phentermine used days?
I have problems maintaining my diet, at night i always get some snacks or drink some milk. Phentermine helps me control these diversion. The uppiness also made me exercise, it's such a waste not using it to exercise.
Phentarmine made me painfully constipated. I'm not on Topiramate. I'm on my 2nd dose. I'm surprised that I don't think about food. But it's only two days, so we'll see. I'm also on a path to gastric sleeve surgery. BMI 41, 5'10" 289#. I'm hoping Topiramate helps me cope as a tool until I get to the next tool which is sleeve surgery.
Yes that is one of the things it will do I am the same way! U have to eat a lot of fiber in your diet or take the chewables or u can take a laxative Phillips milk of magnesia one a week it works faster and smoothly with no cramping! I prefer this way because all of what u have eaten is binded up and a good cleanse helps the process of the pills! And drink LOTS of water u will be surprised how much fluid u have built up in u!
Phentermine constipated me too so I took supplements to help with that. I lost 26 lbs in 3 months and started having a harder time so my doctor added Topamax to my weight loss program. Let’s see where this goes!
What about buproprion and tops max?
who did i ask to try this medication please i heard its called Qysmia which is the two combined. It would also help with migraines?
Can u take it with mirtapine and montelukast
What about the side effects with topomax i have heard horrendous things about them🥺
I was approved for qsymis but I have to have appointments with nutritionists and the pharmacist that approved it’s usage. Is this normal?
Can I take Phentermine if I am taking Wellbutrin?
Can I have beer once in awhile on Qysmia?
Can you please talk about how to get the phentermine working again after you feel like your body is used to it.. Thanks. Love your videos
hey Sonia if you find out please let me know annebond71@gmail.com
Hello, try taking it a half hour before any meal. The dose can also be split into twice during the day. You can always try a different medication such as contrave, topamax, or victoza if you have no medical reason that these would be contraindicated.
I'm also interested in this question. I have been taking phentermine 8 weeks. Maybe the last two weeks I've noticed my appetite returning. My dr has suggested topamax, but I'm a little worried about the side effects? Any suggestions would be helpful.

Phentermine makes me a little light headed, a little moody, and keeps me awake (a little melatonin saves the day)
I have a question mu doctor prescribed me a lower dose. She prescribed me 15 mg do you think there’s a reason and will it be effective.
Phentermine was terrible for me. Didn't work and made me feel sick to the point where I would vomit and I felt dizzy and out of it all day. I got Topamax for my chronic migraines and actually had no idea it helped with weight loss as well. My pharmacists and doctors only tell me what I need to know for my particular situation and don't really tell me what the side effects are either. I'm just now actually taking them after having them for about 2 years. I have them in 25 and 50 mg.
Does no soda also include biet soda and other diet beverages?
If the doctor is still able to comment can she or someone speak to the long term side effects with your heart while on phentermine. Thanks
I lost 8 in 3 weeks however I keep add I g 2 back and then losing it. any idea why its not staying off and that I haven't lost anymore in the last week? am I in a stall?
When you lose weight you actually will burn fewer calories with the same exercise. You may want to exercise with weights. Sometimes fluid shifts will make the weight loss difficult to interpret. If you are doing weight training then the muscle mass will make it look like your are not losing adipose (fat) tissue. If you have access to a ymca or trainer, see if someone can do a body composition test on you. If your clothes are fitting better then you are building muscle mass and the weight will look like it is coming off slower.
I take topimax alone and always lose weight...slowly but regularly and consistantly. It ALWAYS works.
Does it make u feel funny all day??
.
I take topirmate for my seizures I didn't know it helps lose weight but I'm on remeron at night can that change my weight loss
DOllface Juggalette how many mil a day? Im not a medical expert but i take topirimate and it helps me. Id say u prob have to take 100mg per day tho. Thats the case for me anyway.
Oh Can you do a side effects of phentermine? The only side effect I have noticed was some tingling on my hands and feet. But once I move around it goes away. And dried mouth. Should I be concerned about the tingling? Or will it go away after time?
Yany T try drinking coconut water it helped me

I was on the Phentermine. Years ago my new doctor have put me on it along with this other drug. I have not took this new drug now I'm scared to take it because if Phentermine makes me happy. I talk a lot I run around I do more exercise. I don't want anything to bring my mood down. Or alter me in any way. But I do want to lose this weight can you help me Dr.🌝
