Well, this is my first post so here it goes....I have been on phentermine 37.5 for about 3 weeks and have lost about 12-14lbs. The first week I was on it I had tons of energy and now it is all gone. Is there anyone else out there that happen to them? Also, I can tell that after the second week it seems like I want to eat more and that I am kinda stuck at the weight I am right now. Hope to hear from someone...Thanks!

I have been on phentermine for about 5 weeks. I droped 20 lbs in 3 weeks. I loved it but then I have not lost a pound yet and I do not eat but about 1,000 calories a day if that much. My problem is I have not been to the bathroom in 3 weeks How can you lose weight if you don't go. I drink lots of water. Little exercise. What should I do??

The doctor advised me that phentermine can cause constipation and you must drink at least 6 bottles of water per day. She also advised that I start a stool softener on a regular basis to keep bowel movements going. I'm going on two weeks with only 1 bowel movement. Just started taking stool softener.

I've had this same exact problem. I'm drinking at least 100oz. a day of water. I also eat fruits during the day. This still doesn't do the job. I take stool softeners every night. To actually cause a movement though I use a laxative or a suppository. I've had good luck with that. I know how you feel though. Also, walking helps too!! Good luck!
