How Long Can I Use Phentermine? It's Certainly Working!

**melisalu** · 07-08-2006, 04:43 AM

I'm new to this site and the magic pill (white w/blue specs 37.5)

started June 28th 2006 @ 180
Now I'm at 166

my goal is 130 !!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)

I have been reading up on the site...I noticed people saying that u can only stay on it for a couple weeks than have to get off ...Why... what would happen if u just stay on it until u reach your goal weight??? Anybody done it?

Welcome to Phenforum, melisalu. Phentermine is usually prescribed for short term use. The average time is 8 - 12 weeks. You will normally begin to build a tolerance to it after that. Many people do take it for a longer period of time. Sometimes it depends on how much weight you want to lose. dawg

I have been working out at the gym 1 1/2 hours 5 days a week for 2 years and ate whatever I wanted and just stayed at the same weight...I'm such a big eater so when I got on the for me it was Magic that it helped me not eat EVERYTHING in site ALL day. I love it I thought NOTHING could help me..I use to crave food like I was prego.. My goal is 130... I have lost total of 14lbs...so far!

I guess everyone has a different tolerance to phen, I am aiming for a month on then a week or two off then back on then off etc...
