Hey does anyone here take ionamin, or did you ever? I just started about a week ago, and I'm still hungry much of the time.

As with any drug, the amount of time it takes to work it's magic in your system can vary, the drug information says you should give it several weeks and if you see no results, you should talk to your doctor.

I did not know what it was. Here is what I found about it...

What is Ionamin?
Ionamin is a Phentermine based appetite suppressant, which is commonly used in conjunction with an overall diet plan and exercise to reduce weight. It comes in a time release capsule form, and is often favored by patients with sensitive stomachs. Common misspellings of Ionamin are ianamin, ionermin and ionermine. A generic (lower priced) version of Ionamin is available on our Phentermine page (Yellow Phentermine Capsules).


How does Ionamin work?
Ionamin is a phentermine-based resin that acts to suppress the appetite.


How to take Ionamin:
Ionamin is best taken on an empty stomach approximately one hour before breakfast each morning. Because this medication may cause sleeplessness, avoid taking a dose late in the day. Take Ionamin as prescribed. Do not take it more often or longer than directed. Use in combination with other appetite suppressant medication is generally not recommended.


How effective is Ionamin?
Ionamin is an effective form of weight loss therapy for the patient that needs to lose weight to decease diseases associated with significant obesity. The amount of the weight loss will depend on the degree of caloric restriction and the use of exercise.


How long should I take Ionamin?
Ionamin is a short-term drug that helps you to start losing weight and then keep on going when you are ready to carry on. Your body starts to build up a resistance to the effects of this medication after a few weeks of treatment.

If Ionamin makes you dizzy or lightheaded, avoid driving or engaging in activities requiring alertness. Alcohol can increase unwanted side effects of dizziness. Do not drink alcohol while taking Ionamin. Moderate: Chest pain, pounding heart, difficulty urinating, breathing difficulties or swelling while taking this medication. Severe: Primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH) and cardiac valvular disease have been reported in patients receiving a combination of phentermine and fenfluramine (phen-fen) or dexfenfluramine. The possibility of an association between PPH and the use of Ionamin alone cannot be ruled out.
