I had seen in a older posting on here that Susan had mentioned 5HTP and vitamin b12. Do they help you with weight loss along with the phen? Also, what are they?

My pharmacy told me about B-12. It simply increases your metabolism and gives you energy, which in turn helps you exercise more and burn more calories.

5-htp I was reading on anothre forum that they was taking it because there phentermine had lost the begin feeling. Well mine started doing it and I started taking it and my begin feeling came back. Now the bottle says it for helps control appetite, promotews balanced serotonin levels and mood enhancer. I can tell you this my friend went to the dr she wanted to put her on depression meds and my friend said do I have to stop taking my phentermine. Dr said yest my friend said NO so DR told her to take 5-htp and she is better now. Dr said she doing great with her depression.

do you take the 5HTP in the morning or evening? I was researching it, and it says that it also promotes restful sleep...I'm just a little confused...will it make me tired if I take it in the morning? Thank you so much!!

So you can take 3 of the 5 HTP a day?

I think anywhere from 50-300 mg a day of 5-HTP is considered safe. They are amino acids that assist our 'feel-good and feel satiated' response. Neither 5-HTP or sublingual B12 will cause you to feel sleepy so you can take it whenever you like.
