A friend told me about her success on phentermine. I went online without a doctor nad ordered what she told me to the tablets 37.5 and did what she told me 1,300-1,400 calorie diet, no sodas (even diet) drink green tea, chug water all day, try to exercise. I did feel all the symptoms at first of insomnia, and a tad of jitters and it held my appetite for a while. I was 180 when i started (can't budge from that weight now for two years) and i was down to 175 in five days. However, i took a break from teh scale and i'm on day 13 now and i'm 176. Very frustrating when my friend (even though she weighs more) is doing the same limits that i am in eating and exercise and she's lost nearly 19 already in same time frame. Granted she weighs more, but i'm new to this drug and it should be plateauing in my opinion on day 13 with only a 4 lb pound loss?
I also hear that i'm only suppose to take it for 14 days. however, this site and many other forums have people who have been on it for years, who do it for months? Whats the deal?
I heard it will Jack UP your period too????YIKES?????
I've heard people who plateau in like their 2nd or 3rd month take a day or two off and jump start it again. SHould i do that when i'm only at day 13 but obviously at a stall? Is two days enough to get out and jump start?
I'd appeciate some adivce, help.... My tablet is white with blue specks I think it says A527 or soemthing like that on the back, don't have one in front of me to be certain....

Hey thanks for asking for help here. Don't forget that if you register, and

Anyway, I'm going to look into your questions a little more, but right now
I can say that I know green tea makes Phentermine leave your body
too soon, rendering it less effective. So, that might be part of the reason
it's not helping your lose weight.

I'll get back to you later today when I get home.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoy it here, and don't forget to register

Thats TERRIBLE because someone told me to drink a lot of green tea bacause it will make you pee more (rid water weight fast) so i have at work at 16 oz tumbler and i drink TWO OF THOSE of hot tea in the morning and sometimes put two bags in at a time!!!!!!!!!!
If that is true about green tea, then maybe thats why its not taking that much of an effect on me! I only started drinking the tea the two weeks i've been on phen now!!!!!!!
I'll stop and this should be interesting to see if it goes down some. I wondered why i didn't feel the side effects very much after say day one and two.... i mean i was HUNGRY and didn't snack but am sticking to my 1,300-1,400 calorie diet regardless of hunger and can now take naps even.

I'm excited to see if the phentermine works better for you now.

Good luck! Keep us posted.

sororitycookie-Welcome! If you are worried about water weight just load up on more water. Strange as that may sound it is true. Good luck with the phen and keep up the good work!

oh no i'm not worried about water weight. I know thats always the first to go, i was just advised to drink green tea since i was cutting coffee out. I chugged two tumblers full of hot green tea each morning of this "phen" period (two weeks) and was wondering why on the first three days or so i had the side effects and was losing weight but then stopped all together (no side effects hardly and hungry again and no losing) and Ian on this board (who seems very knowledgable of this stuff) told me that it could be that green tea is making it pass through faster...that would explain it, but i'm going to put that theory to the test this week and not drink the green tea. see if side effects and weight loss continue. i'll keep ya'll posted@

I would say that you want to stay away from the green tea and see if it makes any difference for you. I have also read that stopping it for a little while will make it effective again. Let us know how it works for you.
