Any advice on taking Bontril?.....

[mistyr]

Hi everyone! I'm new and desperate!! I've taken phentermine b4 and lost weight but my body got used to it and it stopped working 4 me. So I thought I'd give Bontril (actually the generic phendimetrazene)a try. I just recieved this in the mail yesterday, early afternoon and had to take one. I got incredible energy after a couple of hours and loved it. Well, the directions on the bottle say to take 1 with meal in morning which is what I did today, but it didn't feel like I took anything!! Does anyone know how to take this to make it work?? And does anyone know of anyway to get phentermine to work 4 u again?? I really hope someone can help cuz theres no-one else I know to ask.

Hi mistyr,

To get Phentermine to work again, you will probably have to take a break from it. A few weeks a few months, or more. Once or twice a year I switch over to Phendimetrazine (35mg).

Which every meds I'm taking I like to use a pill cutter and with the Phendimetrazine, I would take half a tablet in the morning and sometimes one & a half before exercise. But....This was after trying out lower dosages.

I use the meds 'mainly' for the energy level, so that I can get a kick arse work-out ! I have recently started drinking some of the new energy drinks that have come out. One of them is "RockStar." They have caffeine, so I can only handle about a fourth of can. That adds a little boost.

Have you had a chance to check out the Phendimetrazine/Bontril forum here at this site?

[mistyr]

Thank you! Yeah I did check them out. Thats why I decided to go with the phendimetrazine, cuz it was different from phentermine, so I was hoping it would work. Do you know the proper way to take them in the morning? I take the 1 a day time release capsules so I can't cut them in half, but should I take them on an empty stomach or with food? I agree with you about the energy drinks!! I've tried the rock star and love it, but find that it can be too much 4 me 2, so sometimes I buy the red bull. They're smaller and easier to drink. But I like them for the energy 2 and was told to drink 1 about 30 min. b4 I workout and it really works! I'm taking the phend. in hopes that it will help 2 kill my appetite as well as give me energy.

I personally hate the 'time release' type of any meds. It's going to be different for everybody. I think I would try it on an empty stomach about 30 minutes before eating.

Next time you order get the 35 mg tablets. Unless you have already tried those. I like being able to switch it up and take the dose that I need. Right now I'm taking the 37.5 mg Phentermine. If it gets too late in the day I can cut it down and take a fourth.

Yes, Red bull too and I tried "Full Throttle." OMG.....I got a lot of yard work done that day. Well....actually night, LOL.....The sun had already gone down and I was still out.

This is the first time I've tried the phend, but I did really good on the time released phentermine so I thought I'd do well on this too. Oh well, we'll see...
I'll take your advice and take it before eating in the morning. I hope it works!!! Certain times of the month I just can't stop eating and it drives me crazy so I really need something that works!! Are you seeing a doctor or ordering online? I ask cuz I used to get my phentermine from my old doctor, but I ordered the phend online. I'd like to order a bottle of phentermine online too but I don't think I can order from the same site.

Have you ever tried the monster one? I can't think of the full name, but my friend gave me some and the taste is super!! It's hard to find the sugar free one though so I don't get to drink it that often....

By the way, thanks for all your advice!!

It works the best if you take it 1 hour before breakfast. You are supposed to take it on an empty stomach and I find if I take it too close to my meal, it does not do as much to help in curbing your appetite.

Good luck.

mistyr,

I wanted to check in with you and see how thing's were going. Did you have better luck taking it on an empty stomach?

BTW....You asked about how I get my prescription. If you want anymore info on that, just send me a PM with your addy. Anything I write here concerning that issue will probably get blocked.

I did try the "Monster" drink. Better tasting, but made me feel sleepy. Strange I know ! LOL....Maybe I was just having one of those days.

I actually had the same problem too. what helped me was I stopped taking phentermine and switched to bontril. Honestly the bontril worked for a little while but stopped. after about 3 months I got off for 3 months. I got back on phentermine and its working now. I just think our bodies get use to taking something and it starts to feel like its not working properly, but it is still working just not as good when you first start. just stick with the pills and maybe dont take them everyday. do it every other day when you know you are going to work out or something

Hmmm...I will have to try this as the first day I felt a curb of appetite and then the past 3 days not so much. I wonder if it is because I immediately eat something. thx for the tip

I am not finding that Bontril is curbing my appetite or giving me an energy boost as much as I had hoped (certainly not anywhere near what I experienced when I took phentermine), even when I take it on an empty stomach about an hour before eating. I have no trouble getting to sleep at night. Going for a weigh-in today and am going to ask them about what I should be feeling. I kind of like the definite 'not-hungry' feeling I got from the phentermine.

i took tenuate for two weeks and lost 9 pounds but wasnt feeling that full feeling so they switched me over to bontril. i dont think these meds are like speed i think they just make you feel full and you eat less. i think the meds are probably working for you but you just dont know it. its hard to stay on a low calorie diet but these meds just make it easier. i have no side effects from bontril other than dry mouth and they make me feel full after i eat small meals. hope this helps.

take the bontril with caffeine. you'll feel something then. i feel like i am on speed when i take the two. i bet people lose weight on thse pills cuase the drugs are like speed. its says on **list.com that these drugs are similar to amphetamines. i feel like i took a bunch of amphetamines. i get an energy rush too. so i guess the weight we lose is fat and muscle. It takes a couple of days for the phend to get into your system. I didnt feel anything the first few days i took it and now its like wow after i combined it with caffeine.Wow, no wonder these are controlled substances but i guess they work.
