Not Working For Me

krav · 03-08-2006, 10:41 PM

It's been one week and only lost 2 pounds. At first I had a hard time sleeping and had a bunch of energy but now I feel nothing. I take it in the morning and I have well balanced meals with plenty of water and zero coffee or soda. I'm taking A-159 that I got from CCBasket. I feel tired all day with no energy and when I get home from work I take a nap. This my first time taking Phentermine. Also can you drink protein drinks while taking Phentermine? I have a powder mix from GNC and I would like to drink a glass a day. Any suggestions? Thanks. :-D

Wow! I have been here for a little while and also on phen since last October and you are literally the FIRST person I have ever heard of that it didn't work for. That must really be frustrating. I am sorry to here it. Maybe you need a different brand? Don't give up. I mean 2 pounds in 1 week IS a loss. I didn't really have BIG weight loss weeks until I had been on it 3 weeks. Then I was pulling down bigger numbers. Hang in there and things might get better. ((((((((((HUGS))))))))))

Thanks, I guess it's just not for me. Oh well. Have a fine day.

Hi,

I had the same problem. I also ordered the Adipex brand 37.5 and thought they didn't work. I was really disappointed. But I kept taking them thinking maybe they'll eventually work and they do. It took me a good month before I noticed any difference. I've been on them for almost three months and lost about 10 lbs. I also get tired in the afternoon, so I don't know what to do about that. Just keep taking it and see if it gets any better.

Good luck!

Oops... noticed i said Adipex..... I meant the A-159's

I am also taking the a-159's and they are working but i've only lost 5 lbs in 2 weeks. How much do you have to lose? Because it seems the more overweight you are, the quicker you lose. I only have about 20 lbs or so to lose and it's coming off slower. I lost 8 pounds on the Atkins diet before i started taking the phen...now it has slowed down. Just remember 2 lbs a week is nothing to sneeze at...that's 8 lbs a month! If i were you i'd keep taking them for a little longer to see if they kick in. they don't really give me alot of energy but they do control my appetite really well. Good luck and keep us posted.

Thanks for all the info, I'll keep at it but not not for long. I don't like being tired all the time.

Thanks :-D

what mg are you taking? also are you taking the entire pill sometimes taking 1/2 in the am and half around 1 or 2 helps I also got b12 to help with energy because the phentermine doesnt give me energy it just curves my appetite let me know if i can be of any help
