I just started Phentermine 15mg this past Monday on the 9th. I have lost a total of 6lbs so far in just 4 days. It definitely works thats for sure. However I was wondering if I should have my Doctor up the dose as sometimes in the evening I feel kind of hungry and want to snack alittle. Granted I choose healthy snacks but still...it seems like it wears off in the evening long before bedtime.
From reading some of these posts. I can not believe this stuff was once available without prescription. The warning label itself is enough for me to be glad I am seeing my doctor once a month to be sure I am fairing well on it. I could not imagine just taking this pill without the monitoring of a doctor.
I hope this first month that I can lose up to 15lbs. It would be such a great jumpstart!

Well good luck everyone! I just started my profile here so I will try and update to let everyone know how I am doing.

My Dr. prescribed Phentermine 15mg. 1 per day and I have been on them 2 weeks and have LOST NO WEIGHT and all I do is sleep. My friend recommended me to try another pharmacy xxxxxxxxxxxxxand increase the dose to 37.5
Can you tell me why they effect me this way & what you recommend I do about this??? THANK YOU SO MUCH......

If you are in the U.S., this is illegal! STAY SAFE!

I just started taking phentermine HCL 15mg in the last three days... I have felt a little more energy then normal and some dry mouth, and not quite as hungry but that's about all. I've noticed that my tiredness and hunger hit me all at once around mid afternoon.. And I'm worried that this medicine won't work...

I have tried almost everything I can think of to lose this weight. Including strict 900 calories doctor monitered diets and vigorous excersize programs... The doctor prescribed me this to help, but I am worried it won't work...

Does Phentermine work for everyone..? Is it possible I am on to low of a dosage? And from what the doctor told me, I was under the impression that phentermine is a presciption only drug... Now I see it everywhere online with no presciption... So I'm confused....?

what is your starting weight? I am gonna start today ..I weight 138lbs and want to loose 10lbs..my concern is that it may not work for me because I am not "really" overweight and just want to loose a few pounds that I cannot loose by working out (I ve been exercising 90min everyday, but my weight is not moving...) I will keep you updated if it works for me

Still have to put the work into re-constructing your eating habits.
Yes, it is illegal to but or sell online. Also, 15 mg sounds like a great 1st dose. Let your doctor know if you feel you need a higher dose next month.

I just got started and I am sooo excited. My Doc prescribed the 15mg to start. ONe a day then switch to 2 a day.

I do have a dry mouth and can't believe how little I ate today - or wanted to eat!

What amount can I reasonably expect to lose in the first week? Can ya tell I'm excited!

I'm super nervous, when I go off the phentermine, that I won't be able to keep it off, like diets in the past. I"m very aware of my emotional eating and am keeping a journal. I've maintained my current weight for over a year, although I am chubby to say the least. I am proud that I stopped gaining!
