The increased dosage still doesn't work like it used too, but it helps if I take it as soon as I wake up, before the shower, anything, and let about an hour go by before I'm around any food, then I'm ok.

I'm interested in trying the 5htp or something like that I've been reading people talking about. I've also just got some of the phenditrazime (I think that is how to spell it). And I'm interested about the didrex, I heard that is the strongest. But it is so very expensive. I'm thinking about going to my doctor and just asking him for a prescription (but I don't know if he will give it to me). That way it's a hell of a lot cheaper, and no hassel or worry about what I'm getting on the internet.

Since I'm being honest, I would really appreaciate it if others were honest as well. Anyways - I'm bulimic, and the phentermine has really helped me not to binge and purge. With the phentermine, I can still eat, but just very small portions, and that really helps me not to purge, because I can't eat enough to purge. But with the phentermine wearing off, I'm able to eat more, and the other week when the pharmacies were running behind, I went a couple of days with out it and was beack to my old routine. I would binge and purge 8-10 times a day. It's horrible, so I'm desperate to get this back to strength.

Any success stories with offsetting tolerance will be great.

My gosh-that sounds really dangerous; do you sleep at all at night? Maybe the pills you take are past their 'sell-by' date, and aren't as strong. Please be very careful, ok?

Have you seen a doctor about the bulimia? I believe they are treating that with Wellbutrin now...but he will want to taper you off of the phen first.

Been there - - done that - didn't work.

I even did in 3 month inpateint metal hospital thing.
Phentermine has been the first thing I have found that really works.
Every minute that I don't think about binging and purging is great! I have to just take it one minute at a time, then one meal at a time. I am trying to find a new shrink because I do feel I need someone to talk too. And then insurance would pick up the cost of all of this. I get free generic prescriptions. But right now I'm ordering online without a prescription, so I have to pay.

I've ordered some didrex, but I didn't realize the fullfillment pharmacy was going to be ccbasket. Crap - from all I've been reading lately it will never get here.

Just wanted to tell you that I have tried the 5HTP with the phentermine and it does give it a boost.. I take my phentermine then wait about 45 minutes, eat a small portion of food and then immediately take 2-50 mg. 5HTP capsules. I make sure that I have a least a little something on my tummy before taking the capsules because the first time that I took it, I forgot to eat something and was really nauseated and felt wierd. So now I just make sure to doit differently. Everyone is different, so you will just have to try it and see, you may need more than I am taking, which is fine from all that I have read about it..Anyway, I just thought that I would share that experience with you and anyone else that is interested.
Hope that you all have a Fantastic weekend !

I'm newly on Didrex myself. I bought my first bottle online and paid $148 for #30. My 2nd bottle came from my local physician and local pharmacy at a cost of $52.00 for #30...same exact strength, same pills.

That goes to show you the mark up on these pills!!
