Got room for one more girl?....

[*Malynda*]

Hi everyone! Before I introduce myself I wanna tell you all how much I have enjoyed lurking (okay, stalking!!)on these boards for the last month or so. You are amazing people and so supportive of eachother... I couldn't help but to want to be a part of this!!
Okay, as for a formal introduction... My name is Malynda and I am a 28 year old married mother of three. Although I am new to the boards I am an all too familiar friend of phen. We (phen and I) became very close back in 1998. I was extremely happy with the results I got (55 pound loss in 3 months... hit my target weight!). However, the undisaplined girl I was, I let the scale creep back up over the years. Shame on me because now I am finding that no matter what I do, the phen just doesn't seem to want to be friends anymore. I am doing everything right (for once in my life!)but I am not getting the results that I had hoped for. I have been on phen (again) for about 4 weeks and I KNOW they are not working like they did the first time (back in 1998). One would think that seven years is a long enough "break" to kick the effects back in ..?! I have read some of the past posts to see if anyone else has experienced this also and there seems to be a few who have. My question is... are there any ways to overcome this "tolerance" to phen? Anybody that can relate? HELP !!!!!!!
Thanks so much in advance and I look forward to getting to know everyone!

I can't answer your question, but I did want to say hello and welcome! Looking forward to getting to know you! I hope someone can give you some tips to kick it back in!

Hello and Welcome!!

I've heard something about switching to something called BONTRIL or DIDREX. I think if I am not wrong Bontril is so close to Phentermine. But Didrex can make a difference.

Good luck and welcome to tha cluuuuuuuuuub ;)

It took me 4 months to get my ** for phen. I did get an ** for bontril, but it was discontinued by the mfr. Bontril is supposed to be the same thing as phen, but with a little less sleeplessness. Alas, as bontril is discontinued, I suppose we shall all stay here in this phen room. And, oh boy! The trouble I had getting the phentermine ** filled! I dropped off the ** at a local *******, they were bought out by CVS, as we all know. They lost the scrip. They made me go back to my PCP for a new **, with a whole new copay due. By the time that happened, I had moved, and bought a house 50 miles away from my old apt. The new CVS kept telling me the mfr is out of stock, and they can't get phen. Finally, I drove 20 miles out to a different CVS and they filled the scrip while I waited. Why does no one want to fill the scrip? I know my insurance company will probably never pay, so I pay cash. I figure maybe I shall file an appeal at a later date, but I doubt it. But why is it so hard to get a pharmacist to fill a damned scrip?

Thanks to those that replied!! I have done a little research on didrex and found that it is similar to phentermine but has a different chemical makeup. I might try it next to see if it works any better. Has anyone tried didrex before? Any good (or bad!) results with it?
Thanks :)
