I took phentermine today for the first time. Doctor proscribed the 37.5 mg pills but he (and others here) recommended only taking half. I was so worried about the side effects, that I cut it in half and then cut a little more off it. I probably only took 1/3 of a pill. Crazy, I know, but I have had weird reactions to drugs before. 20 minutes after I took it I started to feel funny - heart was racing really fast, lightheaded, dizzy - but I just told myself not to panic and a few minutes later I felt fine. I have not been hungry at all, but I have been jittery, and I made the mistake of drinking a diet coke and not even thinking about the caffiene. So stupid. So now I am extra jittery. Starting tomorrow I'm cutting out all caffeine. That is not a good feeling at all. Otherwise no hunger, no headache, and energy (too much!).

Good for you for cutting it. I am glad that it's tolerable for you now. You just keep up the good work!

Well I've been on phentermine for almost three weeks and I've lost 7.5 pounds. It's been a really positive experience for me, no side effects at all. I'm still only taking half of the 37.5 pill. I have noticed that I am beginning get hungry earlier in the evening than I used to. But I am so happy with the results I have the motivation to watch everything I eat! I have no regrets in trying this out!
