Depending on your typical calorie intake with Phentermine, you could expect some weight gain as with Phentermine, its basically blocking your brain from knowing your hungry... so it is possible that your unknowingly starving yourself if you dont ensure your getting a minimum of at least 1200 calories a day (some people go as low as 1000 but I honestly would not recommend that as its not healthy).

Also ensure your balancing out your carbs, veggies, fruit, meat, dairy - you know the deal! ;o)

-> Getting your medications off of the internet, as a Pharmaceutical student I cannot recommend that. I would take caution with that.

And LOL (Im so opinionated today apparently) Do not break capsules in half. If you believe you require half a pill, request the tablet form from your doctor. You cannot accurately separate a capsule - those are not meant to be separated at all anyhow. The tablet there is a line in the middle that allows for easy breaking or cutting with a pill cutter and then you will receive a more accurate dosing when taking a half of a pill.

Hope that helps, and best of luck!!!
