I just started 30mg phen yesterday. I wanted to know is it mainly a suppressor? energy booster? or does it rid the body of fat by u know making you use the bathroom? I didnt really notice too much suppressing yesterday..the bottle says take one a day should i be doing more. I was scared to get the 37.5 mg but now i'm thinking maybe i should have...any and all advice is welcome.

thanks..

oh i am down half a pound and i ate what i usually eat on any other day..oh but i worked out..nevermind that explains the .5 i think..lol

again any info will be appreciated

This is and energy booster and suppresant. You might want to read more on it for I dont know the exact way that it works. Are you taking any other meditcations?

It is an appetite suppresant it does not burn fat in any way or form. This is a bummer because we wished that it did. I don't think it works as an stimulant to go to the bathroom. I have to drink tea or take fiber pills to be able to achive that. But then I have always been that way so it really sucks.

If you are taking the 15mg I think you can double your dosage if you take one early in the morning and then one in the afternoon but I would try just to stay on one if you can. If you feel like you are getting hungry then try drinking water and just gulp it down until you fill full that way when you get hungry again it will be time for you to eat regularly. Also to prevent over eating drink at least one glass of water before so you fill up faster.

I take the 15mg and I can take one to two pills a day. It's an appetite suppresor and I think it controls part of the brain that deals with hunger. I don't remember for sure.

Yes, it is only supposed to suppress your appetite. The extra energy boost
is just a universal side effect that most people like.

The first few pounds are water. Yes after that your body (not the medicine) start burning fat because you are not eating as much. When you eat less your body looks for a source of energy and since there is no food to creat that energy it turns to the fat and uses that. When we over eat our bodies only need a small amount of it and therefore leaves the rest to turn to fat. So even though the meds don't burn fat the help you in other ways and make you drink water so what you loose is not water but actual fat.
