Hi! I started phentermine almost a week ago and as of this morning I have lost 6 pounds. I have been trying to loose weight on my own since january and including the 6, I am down 20 pounds! My doctor didnt give me any info about taking phentermine and I could use some pointers. I feel really weird and I dont know what will go away after being on it for awhile. I dont know if it is a side effect, but I get really cold and I feel like my face is fluched.
I guess my question is what should I do and what should I expect? I was prescribed 37.5 and I have been cutting them in half and then taking half about 1 hour after breakfast and then the other half mid day. How often should I be eating? And how many calories should I eat? I have a lot of weight to loose! Also, I am assuming I should be exercising each day.
I have spent my whole life yo-yo dieting and I come from a family of skinney people so it has always been frustrating. I am trying to get pregnant and it is difficult because of the weight, so I am looking at phenetrmine kinda as my last reort...from rock bottom.
So excuse the babbling but basically I am looking for any pointers or info on how to be successful with this drug. Also, is there a good chance of keeping the weight off after you stop taking it? I am also scared of having a lot of extra skin like you see on TV shows, is there a good chance of this happening?
