Hey Ladies...long time no hear but still no good news :(

iwannaloze · 12-21-2006, 03:14 AM

well its been almost 6 months since i started phen and i am still stuck at the same spot. i thought this was really going to be it but i was wrong. i started ordering from customhrt and my appetite was just not supressed. i have been working out 4 days a week and even alternating weights. i just can't believe that i am still the same size. what gives? i heard about people having trouble with the custom pills. today i tried to take one and a half and i felt kind of weird when i took the half right before lunch but my appetite was more supressed. i have also tried lipodrene but that really didn't help either. i went to the doctor last week to see if everything is okay with me because i can't seriously believe that i am doing everything right and still stuck. can you ladies give me some advice on what to do. is there another form of phen you think i should try and where should i get it from. i am seriously thinking lapband here. this is so depressing. anyway thanks for listening to my rant....

take care

Hi, Iwanna! Will you PM me the number off the side of your bottle of phentermine? That way I can help look it up for you. Thanks. I suggest you continue doing the healthy things, exercising more, count your calories, etc. and it WILL come off!
YOU CAN CONQUER THIS!!!

Thank you susan! unfortunately i don't have the bottle anymore. me and my friend split the last order so she has the bottle. she was losing weight the last order i made and i still wasn't. she doesn't exercise or eat nearly as much as me and she still lost. i know everyone is different but i have been struggling since march to lose this baby weight. all my blood tests came back good so no thyroid or metabolic issues. this is just crazy. is there a different brand of phentermine you think i should try that is better? the other day i took 1 in the morning and 1/2 right before lunch. i felt kind of weird but it helped my appetite better. i was still feeling the effects the next day. i might have fell out if i took two that day.

Mornin', Sweetie. I like this post by rebeleagle:
"Phen is an appetite suppressant, but please everyone keep in mind that you aren't supposed to NEVER be hungry. If any pill were designed to work that way it wouldn't be on the market for long, because it would end up making you sick and unhealthy, which defeats the purpose of taking a medication.
And while phen is supposed to help you "keep your mind off the food", it can't do anything, nor can any other pill for that matter, for our food issues. I'm talking the "hunger" we feel when we're bored, anxious, depressed, etc.
The way these pills work are by illiciting (chemically) that "fight or flight" response from the brain, so that we do not feel hunger. It kind of keeps those receptors busy and distracted so that the "I'm hungry" chemical message doesn't get through. It's a strange sounding way to go about the hunger issue, but apparently it works. The thing is, after a while, either we get used to that feeling, or we choose to push past it for whatever reason. It's not a guaranteed you will never feel hunger again pill. It's an aid for those determined enough to squash all those other issues so that we can eat healthy-not NEVER EAT."
Many members have told me the 30 mg capsules give them more help than the 37.5 tablet. I have not tried those and can't vouch for it personally but I do suggest you not take more than 1 per day.
As for strength of the pills that some call "weak", I think it is much more a matter of their bodies' assimilation of those. Our FDA laws regulate what amounts of active ingredients are in each pill. When any discrepency is found, the announcement is ALL over the news! Remember the Tylenol scare of many years ago? The spinach taint? It comes across like that. Never take a pill or capsule from a baggie...make sure you have the bottle dispensed. That's why CustomHRT doesn't offer 100 of the 30 mg.
Waiting to hear from you, Lovie~

thank you susan for your advice. you have always been there to help me. i thought i would have gotten more of a response. where should i buy the 30mg pills from? i am so afraid of ordering online. the only reason i did was because a friend of mine has had results. before i was going to the weight loss physician and that was $95 month. i heard about bontril and tenuate. what are your thoughts on these. thank you again for your help.

**susanpesek** · 12-27-2006, 03:13 AM

Hi, Sweetie! Thanks; we all try to help out where we are able. I am sure that most folks reading your questions want to answer but somehow don't feel 'qualified'. I think this about myself, but sometimes just a little tiny push will help those members who have a suggestion to reach out. There are no qualifications needed, just a willing and good heart. Ya'll hear?
I have never taken the 30 mg, but from what I gather, the capsules are the ones eveyone seems to really like. They are not pills.
I can only vouch for the place I have ordered, and especially because they came in the manufacturer's sealed bottle with a prescription with the name and dose just like you might pick up at Wal*Mart!
Bontril and Tenuate are both are very good and sometimes are used if one develops a quick tolerance for phentermine.
If it were me, I would order from customhrt.com. The 30 mg capsules are not as cheap, I think, as the 37.5 pills, because they must come in a bottle of 30 pills. Anyone have any information you'd like to share here?
Be sure and use a major credit card so you will be covered JUST IN CASE, but I have not heart of any scams from these folks yet. They've been in business many years. You'll find a link on their site to 'other treatments'. Click there and good Luck, Darlin'!

thanks susan. i ordered from them last time but then was concerned they might be weak. i guess i could try them again but now i hear everyone talking about ugetmeds.com i wonder if i should go to another weight loss center or something. my friend has been losing weight off the customhrt pills and not working out nearly as much so i know they work. me on the other hand am still in this fight to the end. i can't imagine having a baby can cause this much stress on the body to where it just wants to hold on to the weight. so should i try customhrt again or ugetmeds? thanks again for your help.

**squeekie** · 12-27-2006, 04:59 AM

iwannaloze-I read somewhere that ugetmeds is gone. You can get the 30mg yellow capsules from custom. Maybe they will work better for you than the tablets you got from them. It might be worth a try.
