Phentermine Reviews

I have been taking Phentermine for a week and I have lost 8.5 pounds! I have had some side effects, like getting dizzy and insomnia but its okay. I need to lose 30 more to get to my goal weight. I hope I get there soon. So far so good!

I have been on Phentermine for about a month. I dont know what i’m doing wrong but I have only lost about 4 lbs. I take my pill as soon as I wake up, then about an hour later I eat. Sometimes i feel jittery and some nights I cant sleep. Is this the best pill to take or is there another one?

i was wondering if anyone who has elevated or high blood pressure has taken phentermine and how it has worked for them…i would also be curious to know of the dosage as well…i have high blood pressure, not out of the roof high but i am on medications for it and i know how well it has worked for me in the past…i wanted to try it again for a short amount of time but i dont want to put my heart at risk, i kind of need it, lol. i am also on b12/lipotropic injections for energy and weight loss, i just started them and so far so good….alot of people will take phentermine along with the shots…..anyhow anything anyone could tell me about this would be appreciated…tks in advance

I been taking Phentermine for 5wks and to my surprise I have lost 16lbs!!!!! The medicine is a wonderful source of HELP in order to maintain the results that you are looking for…I exercise 3-4 times a wk and I have been eating smaller portions—I learned its not what you eat but how much you eat. I would like to lose another 19lbs. I feel good and I look goodin my clothes this is the help I needed.

I satrted phentermine 37.5 ,10 weeks ago.
my only problem at begining was insomnia.
but I got energy and no cravings at all.
I excercise 5 or 6 days a week (15-18 miles a week) just fast walking,
and I had lost 26 lbs.
this pill is the best,but it’s temporary just to create better eating and excercise habits.

I started taking Phentermine March 3, 2008 and the weight that I started with was 234. This has done wonders for me!! Not only have I lost the weight, it has given me confidence and boosted my self-esteem tremendously. Right now I have lost 24 lbs and I am weighing in at 210lbs!!! This is 6 weeks using this medicine. I have enjoyed this medicine….but I guess everyone has different opinion. I will update you at a later date. Any questions for me, feel free to ask.

Ive been taking this drug since 4/8/08. The first few days I lost 10 pounds. It has only been 7 days. I started working out on March 5, 2008 after having a baby. I was weighing 208. After a month of dieting and exercise 3-4 times a week, I had lost 8 pounds. So what I was doing was working, but Ive gotta get down before June. Therefore, I decided to try this Phentermine pill. My scale hasn’t moved much since the first 10 pounds but Im hoping to get on the scale next Monday with a weight loss of at least 3-5 more pounds. Today, Ive been feeling hungrier than ever, I’m thinking maybe my body has gotten used to the drug. We’ll c!!!

Come on people PLEASE when you’re giving Phentermine a good review, don’t rate it 1 out of 5 stars!!!!!!!! This is freakin annoying because i can’t edit it for you once you’ve submitted your review.

BTW to Apple, have you not noticed that most people on this page are doing well with the Phentermine? Not everyone responded to the pill like you did, so they don’t need to give up….. Have you considered that most of the people here have already tried to eat right and exercise on their own, and turned to diet pills because they didn’t have the will power or energy to follow through?

Yall quit wasting your money buying this crap!!!! I been taking Phentermine 37.5mg for 3wks I lost 8ld which was WATER WEIGHT, my mouth is dry,my breath stinks, and its possible to test positive for a drug test. The first couple days it did decrease my appetite but now I can take a pill and be hungry minutes later…..TAKE MY ADVICE LEAVE THIS CRAP ALONE EAT HEALTHY,EXERCISE AND WITH TIME YOU WILL GET RIDOF THE POUNDS!!

This is my third day on Phentermine, it is a very good appetite supressant. The only thing that I feel might be missing is the energy. I don’t get the jitters or shakes or anything like that. I am currently taking 37.5 once a day. But maybe its just me.

Hi everyone!! This is my second day on half tablet of 37.5 I got mine straight from my dr. and he wants me to get a little used to it before i take a full tablet. Half has been working great for me. In a couple days i switch to a whole pill.
I am a little concerned though. I have gone through and read all your comments. ALOT of you are using this as a fix to all. Once your off the pill it no longer works. There is a chance you will your gain weight back. And then some. I know your saying, “well what about you!” My story? Not only am i am taking Phen, but also a anti-depressant and going to OA. i am fixing whats inside me. Why did i get this way and why did I eat so much I gained all that weight. And continued to hate myself in the mirror, but still ate. Don’t get me wrong, this is a great pill! Just remember its a temporary fix. i have been living in a cloud for a long time. OA has saved my life. Find someone that can help you.

I been taking Phentermine 37.5 for almost 2wks in my first week I lost 8lbs. Of course I experienced all the side effects of dry mouth, the jittery’s and i was even confussed!! The pill did curve my appetite heavely and I did and still do exercise as tolerated!! Now I dont see the pill to be still working for me….I still take it at the same time,exercise and eat healthy but almost 3 hours after taking it I feel hungry. And unlike the first week I havent lost anymore weight!! Right now Im kind of confussed should I continue with the pill or not

I have been taking this medication for about three weeks now. Initially my physician prescribed one tablet daily. Like everyone else, I experienced the dry mouth, became jittery, had trouble sleeping, etc. I now only take one half pill every other day and this has resolved all the symptoms. Water is very important element and vitamin supplement if your physician concurs. I plan to continue till I am at a size 10 and my eating and exercise routine is in place then slowing wean down.
Good luck everyone.

I have been taking Phentermine37.5mg for 1 week and in the first week I lost a total of 10lbs. This is a great diet pill

hi, i started Phen. 37.5 rx from my Dr last (friday march 21,08) i take 1/2 pill at 9am and 1/2 pill at 2pm everyday my dr told me to take them that way, i can tell a big diffrence in my appitete i just had a baby in febuary my 2nd child and i was worried about stil haveing the prego appitete but i don’t at all i do get hungry though not starving but i can tell i need to eat i work out 5 days a week 4 days outa the week doing cardio and balance ball at my local ymca as off sunday i have lost 5 lbs i am very happy i can tell what fat i had it toneing up i do alot of weight lifting as well plus chaseing my 2 1/2yr old and takeing care of my newborn, the only side affects i have had so far is major dry mouth and dizznes sometimes during working out! i would reccomend this pill i love it so far!! can’t wait to be that hot mama agian lol!!

so it’s definitely keeping down my appetite. I’m mainly eating very healthy and continuing to exercise. I started 6 days ago. I have a problem though, I’ve been tracking my basal body temp for the last 6 months and I always ovulate on day 19, which would have been monday, but I haven’t yet so it’s at LEAST a day late. yesterday, the day after I was supposed to Ov, I started getting and am still having a very sharp pain 3 inches below my belly button to the left (maybe where my left ovary is). Anyone else have this problem? my back’s been aching since the 3rd day on the pills too.

I just started taking phentermine on thursday but my question is, i work 3-1130 so when is the best time to take it…I normally dont get up until 10 but i have noticed that by time i get home, im ready for bed and i sleep like a baby..i work in the operating room, so it gives me lots of energy, which i need working in a level 1 trauma center…any suggestions????

Please help. I have been trying to find a doctor to prescribe phentermine for me in Northern Ohio will no luck. My primary care doctor refuses, even though I am obese and fit the criteria for the drug. I anyone knows of a doctor in Ohio I can go to please let me know. After reading so many postive reviews on a variety of sites, I really want to try it. I workout 4-5 days a week an hour or more for months now and I have not lost even a pound. I am really getting depressed about it.

I started the Phentermine diet pill on 03/06/2008 and in 1 week I lost 7 pounds. i was extremely excited worked out everyday, drank alot of water took care of my self. On the 8th day i woke up with a rash on my face also caused constipation, dry mouth, headache and very anxious. i have used many diet pills and have not had so many side effects, but also i have not lost so much weight in such little time. I think i can try to loose weight by myself, it is not worth suffering through all these symptoms again. I GUESS ITS NOT FOR EVERYONE!!!!!

I WISH EVERYONE LUCK ON THE PROCESS OF CHANGE.

i’ve been on phentermine 37.5 for 6 days. even tho im loving the appetite suppressing effects is has, im hating the side effects im feeling: jittery & nervous in the morning, then around noon my face gets red n’ itchy a little bit, then late afternoon i get so relaxed that i hardly have any energy. its like my moods are all outta wack. i even felt slightly dizzy today. im not skipping meals, i drink plenty of water & im working out regularly. so i’ve decided to take just half a pill starting tomorrow like i did for the first 2 days. hopefully that will curb the side effects. i’ll keep ya posted.

I have used phentermine off and on for about 4 years.. I have experienced all the side effects but I am completelys satisfied w/ the results that using the pill has. Just remember that every body is different and that you should montior your body and eating habits before either increasing or decreasing the dosage, and be sure to check with your doctor as well. Fluid intake as stated by others is essential. I found that when I developed a routine and stuck to it, it worked best.. I try not to take the pill after 10 am for the sleeplessness and before I come completely off I start taking it every other day, but stick to my eating a workout program, and then gradually reduce the dosage, so basically, i do every other day for two weeks then half the dosage for two weeks, that seems to help me the itching and nervousness seems to subcide after a while and the dry comes and goes.. But all in all I personally think its one of the best pills around to help weight loss.

Thanks and Good Luck… Cece

Thanks for the advice Teresa, i will try to drink more water throughout the day. My weight loss has dropped to about 2lbs a week loss now, at first I was disheartened but the nurse told me that this is good as its best to lose the weight ata steady pace. Anyway the doc has increased my tablets as I said im not getting much on an effect anymore, he said that some people need to change the amount in theyre system at different times on the plan, so i now take a 37.2mg anda 15mg every morning starting from today, so ill let you know how i get on. My advice for Renee is to try and cut out all the carbs in your diet and drink more water, as Teresa said in an earlier reply it does make a lot of difference, another thing i thought of is you may need to up the dosage of your medication, different people need different amounts of phentermine for it to have an effect on your body, another possible reason is that you say your working out for up to an hr every day, well you probably are losing the fat, but gaining muscle, which is actually heavier than fat! so try to judge your weight by your clothes. I have actually put weight on before when working out at the gym, but went down 2 dress sizes, as I lost the fat but gained muscle. Ask your doc to check on the dosage of your phentermine if your concerned, Good Luck!! x

I’ve been on the product for 3 weeks, and I only lost 5 lbs. I don’t understand why I haven’t lost more. I workout for 45-60 minutes, six days a week. My calorie intake is 1000-1200 per day. I’m trying not to get discourage. For those who are losing 5 lbs per week, please tell me what you normally eat daily.

I have been on Phentermine 37.5mg since early November 2007. I have lost 25lbs total(which seems low but I’m thrilled with). I have at least 75lbs to go but about 25 of those are vanity pounds.

I also experienced the dry mouth and jitters and a massive amount of energy, the jitters and dry mouth subsided as did the occasional morning headaches.
My weight loss has slowed down as I expected. I’m not bothered by that as the slower you lose the slower you are to gain it back.

My best advice to anyone looking to start this is to push fluids(that’s an issue for me at the momemt) and do not skip breakfast!!! You may not be hungry but eat something. After you go off the med your body need to still have all the daily consistancies such as fueling your body for the day. Also make sure if you’re suppose to be taking a multivitamin that you remember to take it!!! I often find that I don’t always eat perfectly or enough to substain proper nutrition and have suffered some tolerable side effects such as hair loss due to vitamin deficiency, I was not advised to take any vitamins nor did I know what to take until the begging of my 4th month on Phentermine when I finally linked the hair loss to possible vitamin deficiency. Also remember to follow proper doctors orders when taking any other medications, every body is different and will act differently!!! Don’t risk your health!!! Remember there are side effects!! My most recent after all this time is itchy hives which strike me in the pm even though the med is taken in the am. I manage fine If you have questions or concerns don’t hesitate to ask your physician!!

I am concerened with the addiction factor as I’ve been on it for quite some time, I find that because I’m so determined to lose weight and because I’m on more of a normal schedule with the med that if I should miss it I notice and it nags at me all day long. I’m not sure if that’s the addicted part or if it’s just the mental hang up I’ve deveoloped since it’s now part of my daily routine.

Newby on Phentermine. It has amazing appetite suppression but the dry mouth is killing me. I’ve being on it about a week and last night could not sleep. I plan to only take 1/2 pill and monitor the difference.

I just started Phentermine 37.5 last week and the side affects that I experience is that I feel high alot. But it really suppress my appetite. When I don’t eat I feel like I will fall out. Mainly during lunch and diner, I have to eat… I was afraid at first and still is becuase I have heard about other products and what they have done to people so, I do worry when I take it in the morning. Lately, I have been really tired and oversleeping in the mornings and I hope that it will subside. I am not sure why because I go to bed at night around 10.. I have not started an working out yet but it will start in a week. I hope that this is a safe product to take… Thanks for the information that everyone have posted I fill a little better now that I have read them.

PLEASE people remember to rate the product high if you like it. I can’t change it manually for you… We have several reviews here that are positive but you rated it 1/5…… Please rate it everyone!

I started teh Phentermine 37.5 mg tablets two weeks ago today. Before he would prescribe it to me, my doctor made me promise two things…1. do NOT skip meals and 2. Do NOT weigh yourself all the time.

i agreed.

So…i have been eating 3 x a day….healthy and WAY SMALLER portions…sometimes i have to FORCE myself to eat…which, if i happen to skip a meal, i feel all woozy and weird.

I HAVE weighed myself once since i started…it was on my 8th day and had lost a decent 6 pounds.

i have SO MUCH more to go, but so far, so good. I would recommend this to anyone who’s doctor says it’s right for them.

As for teh downsides…..there are a few.
for me, i had:
dry mouth REALLY BAD which caused bad breath…the mint, mouthwash, and toothpaste companies are LOVING me right now….

around 2-3pm, i always seem to feel exhausted, but still in that “have to do something” mode. by 9pm i’m drained and sleeping like a baby….the first few days i was taking this, i would wake up several times in the night, but i think my system is used to it now and sleeping is not a problem.

i am eating better and walking on a treadmill EVERYDAY. I’m on a gradual walking plan…starting low, working my way up. The first week, i walked slowly for 5 min, then briskly for 5 min, then cool down slowly walking for 5 more min….i’m adding speed and time to the middle 5 min each week. It’s SO MUCH easier than i used to tell myself!!

I really hope this continues to work for me, as i was debating on lap band or gastric bypass surgery…….grrrr….

Hey everyone I just started Phentermine today. I have been on it once before for two months and I lost about 17 pounds. So of course I didn’t stick to dieting and now I have gain that weigh back. Now It’s a new me I will lose that and plus.

Traci, you were asking how many pounds do people taking phentermine lose per week, that really all depends on how much water you drink daily. The first week I lost an amazing 14 pounds! It was because I was drinking at least 2 gallons of water throughout the day every single day plus lots of protein food such as turkey and salads. I was very careful not to eat any starchy food such as baked potato, carrots, rice, pasta or any bread. After the first week, my average weight loss weekly became between 4-6 pounds. I also worked out alot at least 5 times weekly for about 2-3 hours daily. I went from 203 lbs to 142 lbs in 3 months. So really, the key to losing weight fast is to drink ALOT of water daily and watch what you eat and workout at least 5 times weekly. If one drinks just 2 glasses of water daily and works out 2 times weekly, then the weight loss will go much, much slower so one has to remember that the more water a person drinks, the thinner you will become over a shorter period of time.

I just started Phentermine 37.5 yesterday. I need to lose a great deal of weight so this is what my dr. prescribed. Yesterday when I took it I ate a small breakfast. I didn’t even think about lunch but I drank some vitamin water and some iced tea. For dinner I didn’t pile on my plate like I normally would and didn’t even finish what I had on my plate to begin with. After dinner my fiance ate cookies (he’s skinny so he can do that) and I wasn’t tempted to eat just 1. I had a lot of energy that I do not normally have so I was able to clean a lot more before bed. I felt like I was going to have a problem sleeping at 1st because I felt my mind racing but fell asleep just minutes later.

Today, I ate oatmeal for breakfast and I am hungry for lunch. I have a ton of energy. So much that the people in my office are noticing that I am much more energetic. I feel a little jittery, but I think that will pass once I eat lunch.

The only side effect I have is dry mouth! But I can handle that!

Good Luck to everyone!!!

Hi Everyone, ive been on new tablets for 1 week now as i was getting really bad headaches on the capsules, but the tablets are 37.5 mg which is stronger than the 30mg i was taking so i dont quite know how that works? My doctor said these tablets are slower releasing thyan the capsules, maybe thats why im not going to bed till 4am, but my advice to Darci is dont start drinking to help you sleep, as the calories your losing from eating less will just be replaced by the calories in the alcohol, and as you drink more on phentermine, you will more than likely drink more alcohol than usual, and you will get drunk really quick on these tablets, so be very careful. I also wanted to ask other users of phentermine how much weight theyre losing a week on average, i have been losing between 5 and 6lb a week, and i havent noticed anyone else losing that much that quick? let me know if you all lost that much in your first few weeks?
good luck to all, its hard work!

Today was day 1 of my phentermine, my appetite is gone i had no desire to pig out today i did really good. i however did not skip meals. One of the side effets that im having so far is constant yawning, all day. But i guess thats not that bad. im kind of worried about not sleeping tonight so im having a few beers to help me slow down and relax cuz i have to work at 5 am. i think this stuff is great so far.

I started my Phentermine today. I was wondering, anyone of you diet and excersise? Or did you keep the same life style. When is the best time to take the pill? My Dr. said 1 pill a day 1 hr. before breakfast….I hope everything works for me. Good luck to all.

I’ve been on the pill for 4 days it totally curbs my appetite no side affects as of yet. But I do know the phen 15 I’m taking boosts my energy but I’m crashing at night which makes me sleep great!

I started Phentermine-D 37.5 Friday. I had a nice little buzz going. I had so much energy. I I am having some of the side effects. The most notable…inability to sleep. I’ve read the reviews and am anxious to see how it works. My doc wants me to check in on Wednesday so that she can see how I’m doing. If everything goes well I will be able to continue on this path. I need to loose 55 pounds.

Best of luck to all of us.

Phentermine is a wonderful drug to help one lose all the weight but beware of the repercussion. It helped me lose alot of weight then a year later I gained some weight back all because I did not learn how to change my eating habits or continue with my exercise routine. Phentermine cannot be prescribed for the rest of your life so you must know now to change your eating habits for the better while losing weight and know that you must work out for the rest of your life if you want to maintain your weight without depending on phentermine. It’s been a tough battle for me so take this from me that you must keep working hard if you want to keep the weight off in the long run.

Hi everyone im back again, well ive been on phentermine 30mg for 3 weeks now. Ive lost 16lbs in 3 weeks. Im glad with the weight loss, but i have had some horrible side effects. The first two weeks i couldnt sleep or eat, then this last week ive become really nervous and jittery, and ive had really bad migraines for the last week, so today the doctor changed my capsules for tablets- dont know if it will do anything different but ill keep you informed. Im also really energetic in the day but really lethargic at night. I have also had a few dizzy spells were i have felt a bit faint, but on those days i had forgot to eat breakfast! I just dont think about food constantly anymore, but i do wonder is it really worth all this to be thin? Then i see another gorgeous girl in a lovely dress and think keep going, itll be worth it in the end.

I have been on Phen D 37.5 for about 2 weeks. I hate the side effects jittery, nervousness and can’t sleep. I can tell a big diffrence with my appitite though. I am just hoping the side effects will pass. I like the energy in the morning but kinda crash near the end of the day! I still feel a little hunger but currently not eating much. I did loose 4lbs my 1 st week!

I was prescribed 37.5 it was to much I got hives everywhere and have about scratched my skin OFF! Is this normal can I cut one in half or am I allergic to it altogether has anyone else had this reaction?

I just ordered Phentramin-D so I pray it will work! I have given up trying to order phentermine as no doctors will prescribe it anymore. Also when I order it online, they never deliver it so I have to cancel the order a month later. The doctors seem so against it now so I wonder why they won’t prescribe it anymore? It is not like I am asking for Fen-Phen which I know has been banned from the market but phentermine is different. Phentermine helped me lose 140 pounds so that is why I hope Phentramin-D will work too! Wish me all the luck!

I have taken the white with specks of blue, 37.5 mg. My appetite was effectively suppressed, but I think I was taking too high a dose for me. I picked at my face, arms, back and legs so much I had to see the dermatologist for scar treatment. I also had to see a therapist to break the “compulsive skin picking” habit. It was awful. I had to wear Dermablend scar makeup for several months, and I never left the house. I guess my message is to be really careful, only take as much as you really need, and only take it for short periods of time. I did lose weight and am now back in my size *4* jeans; however I don’t think it was worth the pain and I wouldn’t do it again.

Phentermine offered the best appetite control for me and I had tried every one of these: Metabolife w/ ephedra (9 years ago), herbal teas of every kind, every kind of Hoodia I could find and Phentramin, which, to be fair, did help some after 4-5 days.

The only medicine that so helped me curb my ravenous refrigerator jaunts that I could control my appetite, was phentermine, for 15 weeks (I think) back in 2006. I had such determination that I vowed that I would not let a food pass my lips that wasn’t healthy until I reached my goal. And THAT was what made phentermine stand out for me. I ate healthy, about 1100 calories a day, and my whole style of buying, shopping, cooking and eating changed.

If I ever need a control-enhancer again, esecially with their new guarantee, I will try Phentramin-D because I no longer fit the >30 BMI for phentermine, but if you do, I highly recommend it!

Im just about to start a course of phentermine 2moro, cant wait to shed some pounds so i can get back in a bikini! Ive been prescribed 30mg, so ill c how i go! Ill keep you updated on my progress, wish me luck!

Phentermine is the single best diet pill out there in my opinion! I tried everything to lose weight before I found it. However for me, I only need the 15mg daily to get the maximum appetite control. Any more than this and I start to get side effects; after all it is a very powerful pill! I have never known anything to completely wipe out my appetite like phentermine does! I lost 17 pounds in 10 weeks on it and I feel great every day!
