Hi - I'm new here, and to phentermine. This drug is so different than I thought it would be. I definitely have no appetite and half the time just don't feel good at all. The other half of the time I'm scrubbing bathrooms and could clean all day. Then there is severe exhaustion.

It goes in waves for me. One minute I have energy, the next I feel sick, and a minute after that I'm tired then I get another burst of energy. I did sleep last night, but it was broken sleep. I know I was sleeping pretty deep because I was dreaming, but I kept waking up every few hours and it would take a little time to fall back asleep.


I have another question too. Do primary care physicians willingly prescribe this stuff? I went to a clinic and was not impressed with their office, staff, or the program they offered. I really felt they were there just to prescribe drugs. It would be ALOT cheaper if I could get it from MY doctor rather than driving all the way downtown and paying twice as much at this clinc.

Is phentermine ever covered by insurance?

Also, I just wanted to say that I noticed that quite a few of you are on WW and taking the phentermine. That makes me so happy because I love WW and just want to do that program. The points system has worked wonders for me in the past and would like to do it again. I lost 37 pounds back in 2003 before I got pregnant with my last baby and of course gained it all back - and in different spots too! I am NOT interested in this doctor's program that I saw yesterday. It's confusing and looks very difficult for my lifestyle, also he didn't really take too much time to explain it to me.

You all are so motivating! I've read several of the forum threads before deciding to register, and I'm so excited to begin MY journey. I hope to see you all around the boards.
