Hi all,
I appreciate everyone's candor in this thread. I live in Oregon, as much as I love it here it is so mightily difficult to get a prescription for
Phentermine from a doctor that I did in fact resort to the internet. I don't feel bad that I did that - I lost 40 pounds but that was prior to 1/07 and I haven't been able to get it since. I will say that I combined the use of phentermine with a
diet program through Metabolic Research Center. My original loss was 40 pounds in 3 months, but I have gained a bit back now with this struggle to continue on my own without the help of Phentermine.
As I have worked in health care for the last 14 years I am cognisant of the problem of being branded a "drug seeker" if I ask the wrong (rather unwilling) doctor for a prescription.
Now I am faced with trying to find a doctor in Oregon who will willingly provide me a Rx for Phen, which means an out of pocket expense of around $300 for the MD visit as it isn't covered by insurance. Ugh, the sad part is that losing the weight makes me so much healthier and better able to play with and enjoy my two toddler boys that I can't afford not to seek out the help of a doctor for this.
Not all of us who seek out Phen online are thread predators or addicts. Personally, I find continuing my
weight loss without Phen a real struggle because I am unable to fight temptations of foods I shouldn't eat/don't need to eat on my own. Some might say "get some will-power", most of us in this forum know that it's just not that easy.
I would love a suggestion for an MD in Oregon who would be willing to help me and I have no problem sharing what I have done thus far to lose the weight I have - we all know being dishonest with our docs can lead to serious health problems.
Cheers all, and keep up the good work!
:-)
