Does no one take PhenD?

Why is it that the phen forum the only one getting posts? I kinda wanted to see how people were doing on phend as well. We all have weight loss in common, but I would still like to hear from people that are on the wonderful phenD

Welcome!
For me, I think it is just easier to click on "new posts" and respond from there. I don't go to a certain forum. There are alot of people doing all different things, not just phen over "here". Some aren't doing anything at all. But thats ok, we all have a common goal-to lose weight and get healthy!
As far as phend goes, I had heard that the side effects weren't as bad, so I tried it back in May. I was only on about 2 weeks and had to switch. For me the side effects were 10X as bad-the dry mouth was horrible and my mood swings made my family want to throw me out! So I went back to phen.
You'll get lots of info and support here. Its alot of fun too!

I'm on Phen-D. I started on June 23. So far I really like Phen-D. I haven't had any weird side effects such as rapid heartbeat, nausea , and lack of sleep which many feel on Phen. The only side effect I had was a headache the first day I took it and thats it.

I have never been on Phen so I don't know how the two compare. Although, I have done some reading of posts on both Phen and Phen-D. From what I have gathered Phen seems to be stronger in repressing your appitite. I have read that people can go all day without eating while on Phen. For me, I have found that Phen-D does suppress my appitite although it does not take it away. I do get hungry but I eat smaller meals and feel satisfied. I think this is an advantage of Phen-D because once we are eating in the "real world" again we will be accustomed to feeling hungry without feeling as though we need to binge or overeat at a meal. Another thing about Phen-D is that weight loss seems to be slower compaired to Phen. I'm not completely sure about this point though. I came to this conclusion after scanning many posts on both forums and found a greater weight loss in a shorter amount of time with those on Phen. Although, I know people that are on Phen-D (Bontril) also post in the Phen area. So how accurate I am on this point? I don't know.

One great thing that I like about Phen-D is all the energy I have. I can go all day without stopping. I even exercise on a regular basis now. Something that I have not done in a while. More importantly though, I do not feel jittery and like I've been doped up. I hate feeling as though I do not have control over my body. It is a very uncomfortable feeling for me.

Yes I just realized that if you click on new posts there are post from all over, so now I am beginning to get it. From reading the posts I guess phen does offer faster weight loss, but I am with shess, I have a "good" energy that will give u the right mind set where you will clean stuff that you have been putting off forever

...and is it just me or does it seem to put you n a better mood. I dunno maybe its from the energy?

I started out taking phen back in December. I kept seeing the phen folks losing crazy amounts of weight so in March, I switched to phen too. I honestly don't see a difference other than cost. The clinic I go to charges more for phen-d than phen, so for now I am sticking with phen.
