Hello!
I just started on Phen-D (my shorthand for Phendimetrazine) and I was wondering about the MD prescribing both Phen-T (my shorthand for Phentermine)...I had been on Phen-T in the past and lost weight...but when I went back on it this year...did not seem as effective. Started the Phen-D (catching on?) this morning and can say that I felt decrease in appetite and I honestly think that I will be able to fall asleep tonight, unlike when I was taking Phen-T. I am not going through an MD's office and I had an opportunity to talk w/ other patients and for the most part (even the MD stated this) that the Phen-D is for short term (1-2 weeks) and then he will change to another medication, but it seems like most people are on Phen-D for longer than 1-2 weeks. Is that the case?
