My experience - & not to brag, but I have reached my goal weight SINCE TAKING THIS STUFF so take what I say to heart.
I started with phen 30 mg but was hungry by evening. Bumped it up to 37.5 mg - not much difference.
Then I tried Bontril SR 105 mg. A little better than the phen, but still not exactly what I was after. The evening hunger pains were still there - but not as bad.
Also keep in mind that I am a student/SAHM so I tend to sleep in. I have no idea what you who get up early - early must be going through by dinnertime!
Then I tried Didrex. I LOVE IT!!! You can take up to 3 a day, it kicks in immediately, & my favourite part is that you can take it as soon as the hunger pains start kicking in. Sustained Release just doesn't work for me.
I have also tried Bontril & generic Phendimetrizine. 35 mg up to 3x a day. It, to me, works the same as Didrex. Didrex might be a tad stronger in the energy dept, but that's it. I think the name brand Bontril works better than the generic, but I have both on hand.
I alternate between the Phen 37.5 mg, the Didrex, & the Bontril (both 105 SR & 35 mg) depending on what time I wake up, how hungry or lethargic I am, & what I have on hand in my purse if I'm out & about, etc.
Please take note: I do not mix the Phentermine with the Phendimetrizine in the course of a day. It's one or the other per day.
Everybody is different & reacts differently depending on your body's chemistry. The only one I have not tried is Tenuate. Haven't felt a need yet. I think by swapping regularly I keep my body on it's toes & it doesn't get too adjusted to anything.
Good luck to you!!! Hope I've helped!!!
