I tried the Phen/fen years ago when it was on the market and was on it for nearly 11 mo. Never lost one single pound. I started with the Phentermine a few weeks ago and was on the 30 mg capsules and to date, didn't lose a single pound. This am, I was able to get the bigger dose, 37.5 mg and hope it will do something.

My body is a weird one, it's a tough sell and usually nothing works. Even when I was strength training, I lost 11% body fat in the first month and toned up some places but bulked up in others (I had a personal trainer). No weight lost though. When I don't eat breakfast, I fare better than when I do because when I do, I GAIN weight!!

I've done the clinical trials and out of about 5 drugs, 2 have worked, Rimonabant (aka Acomplia not available in the US as yet) and another one that began to work immediately and I lost 33lbs the first year but they changed the dosage (down to 2mg) when they said they wouldn't and I quit losing. My body is very resistant to losing weight. I weigh about 238 and don't look it at all. I've been told by a number of people I look about 175 or so, I balance it well but I need to lose it for many reasons, one being health and am at a loss as to what to do.

By the way, if anyone has AAA roadside service, use the prescription benefits because Walgreen's wanted $50 cash/$45 AAA benefit for the 30 day supply of 37.5 mg but Walmart wanted $26.75 cash/$13.00 AAA benefit for the same thing! Most insurances don't cover weight loss unless you fight for it and even then it's not guaranteed, but this savings is a big help!
