Anyone taken a double dose?

I was just wondering if anyone has taken twice the amount of 37.5?
What were the side effects?

No my body already has a tolerance.I've been reading about Amino Acid and that D5 stuff. I think I may go to GNC and buy some Amino Acid.Im taking B12 1000 already. I just dont know what to do my cravings are so bad and I drink so much water I think im going to drown in it.
Any suggestions?

I took Phentermine 37.5 for 4 months and lost 20 pounds. I've been off of it for over a month. I tried it again this past week and nada results. I did research last night and I went to GNC and bought some stuff called 5-HTP it promotes balanced serotonin levels.enhances mood and Helps control appetite. Im going to finish the bottle and then try the Phentermine again.

I have been taking Phentermine 37.5 (MP 273) for about a month or so....since, June 18th to be exact. I do exercise, last week I didn't do much b/c I started the Atkins diet plan and the first week REALLY drains energy...but alas, I slipped last night and I was doing so well! It just gets boring!

Anyway, about the third week, I already noticed a "tolerance" to the one pill.....so, I do take two of the 37.5 a day. AND, to be quite honest with you...after doing that for a little over a week, I can tell now that I may be growing tolerant to TWO a day!! :shock:

I am just wondering if the fact that I took ephedrine about four years ago to lose weight has given my body some kind of immunity to the Phen pills.

It's aggrevating b/c I read on other forums that women who aren't even active are losing so quickly with Phen, but I'm fairly healthy..I did have a full hysterectomy two years ago, at the age of 27, due to cancer. And I do NOT take ANY hormone pills....which, has greatly added to the difficulty of losing weight and is the very reason I gained weight back! I had lost 85 pounds in 6 months by taking ephedrine pills and eating a low fat diet...NOW, if I try to eat a low fat diet...PUHLEASE! It doesn't help in the LEAST! :???:

Also, I read on another forum about this CLA working with Phen...however, on other regular "diet" forums, the majority say that CLA is another money scam....anyone have a take on this? I used to take 5-HTP when I was taking the ephedrine, but I never really noticed anything from it...But you know, what works for one, may not work for another and visa versa...

AND NOW....with all that being said...I have been coming to this website for months, and I have finally decided to post b/c I need some support...I'm at my wits end! I am struggling...trying SO very hard to lose the pounds the "healthy" way, and it ain't happenin! :P

I like this forum, I like the people....I want some friends, I want some input...

Thank you for listening...and I hope this helps!

:grin: Hi, Angie! I hear you loud and clear! My loss is turtle-slow...waiting for a phone call slow...watching water boil slow...but we are DOING IT!! We can reach out to bunches of folks on this forum who will support and encourage us.

Let's decide together that this is the VERY LAST TIME we want to lose this weight. It will be gone FOREVER!! :grin: YES! :smt038

I'm not sure that taking ephedrine years ago has any effect now sorry..
Im so glad to hear that you are exercising. I started taking the 5HTP on Saturday I havent taken the Phentermine yet im going to give it a week or so. I started to go back to the gym so hopefully I can get motivated.
I know Phentermine isn't just to lose weight and stay on it for a long period of time so im hoping that maybe I won't need it at all since im going to the gym.
Lets be positive and start working on our goals and not what the pill can do for us.
I see you like to exercise alot what is routine like?
