Which is better....30 mg or 37.5??????

rblack · 07-13-2006, 06:09 PM

While shopping online I notice that the 30 mg is actually more expensive than the 37.5. That threw me off a little because you'd think it would be the opposite. So has anyone taken both of these? I'd like to know how they are different. I've always taken 37.5 and I hate the way it makes me feel. I'm just not myself. I'm wondering if since I've always taken the 37.5 if I started the 30 if it wouldn't work as good for me because my body is used to a higher dosage? Any input here would be helpful!!
Thanks!!! :grin:

It's higher because the 30mg are time released where as the other's aren't. That's pretty much the only difference. You dont 'get all of the "buzzy" feeling at once like you do w/ the 37.5mg

So all the side effects are the same but it doesn't happen all at once? Which would you say is ordered more frequently?

Ordered more frequently? hmmm, probably the 37.5's I started out on the 30 mg and I liked it, but I have a VERY LOW tolerance for both of them, so after a month my doc put me on the 37.5 mg...of course after a month they didn't work much either lol I liked the 30's though and would have stuck with them if my body hadn't gotten so used to them.

As for side effects...yeah they are both pretty much the same.

Can anyone help with the difference between capsules and Tablets of the Phetermine 37.5. Went to fill a prescription and they asked me which one I wanted. Granted there is a 10.00 price difference but I am not worried about that but want to make sure I am getting the best.

THanks for your help!!

i prefer the tablets because i break them in half and talk 1/2 in the morning and if i need it, the other 1/2 in the afternoon. also, doing it that way makes me feel like i am learning to make myself less dependent on the pill to learn some self discipline. i try to really ask myself if i need that other 1/2 tablet or if i can drink some water and ride the rest of the day out. realistically, at some point, we have to stop taking it and i keep thinking i am going to have to depend on myself not to gain it all back.

so there is a big rambling answer to a simple question
