Hi Everyone...

I'm just going crazy here....i started using phentermine in july of this month and lost like 10 pounds in first 18 days but got veryyyyy sick on it like i had to be admitted in the hospital due to my constipation and get enemas n stuff.....after that i stopped taking phen.....n since, i'm desperate to lose weight i went back on phen in september to see if i'll still have the constipation but thankfully i didn't have AS MUCH constipation as before, i mean there was constipation but not to the extent that i'd get admitted again........then, i took it for 25 days almost and lost almost 9 pounds and YES, the pounds i lost in July were back on me at this time so i basically went down to wherever i got in July....but my bad luck, i had to study for my graduate exam and i thought i cant do it with being on phen so i stopped again........n then i finally decided to take it again now hoping that nothing bad will happen n i'll stay put on it BUT the MAIN problem is that im not losing a lot of weight :( :( :( .....like when i first started taking it, i used to not be hungry at all, not even once....but now, it's different.....i mean i still have constipation, backache, n really really dry mouth/bad breath but it's not that bad that i'll stop it but it's not working as much n sumtimes i do get hungry n it feels like i didnt even take phen but that happens only sum days n other days i can feel that i've taken it and i don't eat a lot may a realllyyy light meal once a day and i've been doing that since november 10, it's been a month almost and i've only lost about 5 pounds.....can anyone explain why does that happen or why is it happening???? should i do sumthing about it? what should i do?????? i'm sooo frustrated :'(

First sit down, relax, don't be in such a hurry --breath-. You won't want to here this, but-- phen is not a fast fix. It's an aid to help stay in control. (IMO). You should not be going all day w/out eating. I can't tell you why some days the pills seen stronger, mine do the same thing. I take them on an empty stomach and wait about an hr to eat anything. I know I will be hungrier during TOM. I plan for than. Also I try to take a day or 2 off from phen a week, so my body won't get too used to them. Learn your body signs of stronger days and weaker days. And use phen as needed.
NEXT you need to eat to lose weight. You should be eating 3-4 sm meals a day and snacs--healthy food will help the contipation.
here's some suggestions, real food-- fruit 2-3 a day w/meals or snac. lots of veggies, limit starchy ones. whole gain like whole wheat bread, make sure the first ingredient is 100% whole wheat. Real oat meal. Try to stay away from processed foods. I use a lot of healthy choice frozen dinners and add a salad and fruit. Drink lots of water to help the contipation. Stay away from too much diet soda. And exercise.
Hope this helps some, want more ideas let me know.
