Hi. I went to a doctor and had him prescribe phentermine for me. He said he wanted to start me out slow so he gave me 15mg pills. I took took one of those each morning for four days and felt nothing. One day I felt a bit lightheaded, but that was it. I thought maybe it was too low a dose and tried taking two each morning for the full 30 mg dose, which I have been doing for the last three days, and I still am not feeling it. I have been feeling the accelerated heart beat at times along with some lightheadedness, but I have not experienced a boost in energy. I still feel exhausted all of the time. And I definately have not felt a change in my appetite. I haven't been eating breakfast in the hope that the pills will take a couple of hours to kick in, so by 3 o'clock I am just really hungry.
I am on birth control right now, but besides that I have never been on any other pills or drugs. I don't understand why it isn't working. Am I missing anything? Could I just have a natural tolerance towards it? I could use some help, I'm getting incredibly discouraged over this.
Thanks

I have been taking it for 12 days.. and I am taking the 37.5 mg. For the first 3 or 4 days it didn't really do much for my appetite. It merely took the edge off. But starting around the 4th or 5th day.. I woke up not hungry and go to bed not hungry.

So talk to your doctor about getting the 37.5 mg and try that for a bit.. Ask you doctor if you can just take 2.5 of the pills you have now per day that would give you the 37.5 mg..

Good Luck
