I started taking Phentermine in 2000, and had great results......I've used it on and off since then....and I have gone up up up in weight. (AND After another child) I am now around 300 pounds. I am horrified, I don't know how this happened! I haven't taken any phentermine for months, so I thought I would try it again. I ordered online Adepix 37.5, I took one this morning......I didn't feel much of anything. So, I took another 1/2 of one.....not much of a difference. So, I'm wondering, b/c I am SO heavy, do I take more? Is it safe? Has anyone else doubled up??????? Please let me know!!!!!!!!!!

DON'T DOUBLE UP!!!!!

The one thing I did read was that you should not double up on this!!! It might not make a difference but you don't know what kind of side effects you might have. I think what you need to do is that if you feel the need to eat make sure you have a healthy snack ready and drink lots and lots of water!! But don't double up. I know that the prescription says that even if you miss a dose just to skip it but not to double up. I think the only time you can take two a day is if you are in taking the 15mg dose. Ask your doctor before making changes. And make sure you take it for a week before feeling anything.

I have been drinking way more water, and I really think it is helping! :-D

Plus taking my supplements.............

But could it really take a whole week to start working better? I thought it was the type of drug to work right away.............????? I guess that is GOOD news for me!!

You may have to wait a week to have enough build up in your system to notice a big difference.

I can tell you that I never had the HUGE weightloss on it that some other people have said they are seeing. It is defiantely helping me lose SOME weight. But people saying they are losing 20-30 pounds in one month....That is not something I have experienced!!!

doubling up (if you mean taking 2 at a time)will only make you develope a tolerance much quicker. Trust me. Im surprise that after that long they dont have an effect on you. You have to consider the quality of the pill itself,meaning, are they outdated, what pharmacutical company produces it,etc. what is the imprint on the pill. are they tablets or capsules?Im not a doctor ,and its not anyones place to tell you if its ok for u to take 2 at a time that would be irresponsible and dangerous. I can tell you however its what works for me. Ive been on them quit awhile and have a tolerance where you dont. I for myself if i were you would keep taking them as prescribed ,im assuming one in the AM and one around luch time, thats how my weight control Dr prescribes for everyone.Find out whats best and healthy for you! Good luck Hon.If you have any questions just ask, I'll try to help as best as i can.

taking two at a time seems very risky and I agree with the last post. You will only build up faster to it. Hang in there!

I have been taking phen for a mnth and the first 2 wks were great, the second i was feeling the ressistance and some times i would take a half at around 2 ,you dont want to take any to late it will keep you up. But i have read one woman was taking the 37.5 in the morning and 37.5 in afternoon this is what her dr told her to do he said that some people do need more than others but she had a dr tell her that. Even if you got it online your bottle will have a phone # on it to the pharmacy that filled it you can call them and tell them your prob and ask for assistance. Everyone is different and needs different doses but you need a person dr or pharmacist to advise you on it. And also look into taking a supplement w/it i take 5htp with mine it boosts the phen ( but also look at all things differ on different people so what may work for 1 wont on another) :cool:
