37.5 vs 30mgs

LaurettaX · 11-14-2005, 03:49 PM

I am almost out of my 37.5s and its time to reorder. I started off taking the 30s and thats when I lost most of my weight. Obviously they were highly effective at the time, since I had just started taking them. 3 months later, I ordered some 37.5s and now they are hardly working at all. Has anyone noticed that the 30s are more effective than the 37.5s, or is it just me? Should I take a break and restart in about a week? Either way I need to reorder but which ones should I order? After taking the 37.5s, would the 30s even work at this point? Thanks!

Hi Lauretta X,

I have only taken the 37.5, but I have a friend that started on the 30 mg and she says the same thing. I've also read on the other phen website that some people seem to do better on the 30 and others don't. Interesting huh. Like they say different people react differently to the meds.

You're probably experiencing a bit of tolerance to the meds perhaps. Have you tried laying off the Phen for a few days? Many times this wil cause the medication to start to "work" again. I was out of Phen for around a week recently. Let me tell ya, it felt like the first time I took it when I finally got more.

I lost over 100 pounds on the 30mg Eon capsules myself in only about 9 months. However, as I'm sure you know, these pills aren't gonna make you lose the weight. Exercise and diet, exercise especially imo, are the real key.

Glad to hear that you have had luck with Phen in the past

. Best of luck to you and welcome to the forum, even though I myself am new here too :-D.

Hi ALL :razz:

I'm a Phen Newbie taking the 30mg caps and have been reading the forum for a couple of days.
I just wanted to let you know that I have found out that the 30mg are the time released and the 35.7mg are not so maybe that is why some people have better results on the 30mg instead of 35.7mg?

Good luck to ALL

Hi all,
I started out on the 30's and they worked somewhat for me but now I am on the 37.5 and they are working so much better I can tell a major difference in appetite. You have to remember everyone is different and meds work different for everyone....... :razz:

I think the 30's work alot better than the 37.5's
