i want to try it, but I'm scared

[Liz]

Hi everyone!

You all sound like such wonderful people, so it is easy for me to tell you my story. I'm thinking of trying phen, but I guess that I am scared to. I have been overweight for about 9 or 10 years. And every year I put on a few more pounds. I'm tired of it, and I just had my 26th birthday and I want to change my life!! I guess that I atleast 40 lbs to lose, maybe more.

Is anyone else scared to do it? I was just wondering, and I guess that I want some reassurance from those of you with success stories.

Thank you- Liz

Liz,
I have been taking Phen for about 2 and a half months. I was sort of scared to take it at first, but wanted to lose more than I was scared. I was so tired of trying to find something that would button around my waist and feel comfortable. It is really frustrating. I started to take 30 mg(yellow tabs). The 3rd refill that I picked up was the Adipex 37.5 mg (they are white with blue specks). I have had very few side effects from this. I have occassional headaches, but not unbearable. I think the worst side effect is that I have acne. It doesnt look too bad, but just irritates me. But, to answer your question, I have lost 21 pounds as of this past week. I havent exercised, which I need to do. I have only had a decrease in appetite, more energy, and was unable to sleep well for the first several weeks. I take my blood pressure often and keep a check on myself. I am not scared of taking it anymore. Just use your judgement and weigh the pros and cons of taking it. I only have about 20 more pounds to go to reach my goal, but would be very satisfied with 15. Good Luck!

Hope that helped some.

Thank you for responding. I am going to do it. Thank you for what you said about wanting to lose more than being scared of taking it. That totally makes sense to me and puts things into perspective. Now, it's time for my life to change!!
