First day on Phentermine - questions, questions, questions... - Phentermine.com

Idahomama · January 30th, 2001, 01:15 PM

Yesterday I met with a new doctor to talk about weight loss. I was so shocked, and incredibly happy, that she prescribed something for me. I have a 6 month old baby and for the last 5 months have been exercising 4 days a week, I do kickboxing aerobics and cardio pump aerobics. I stopped nursing in November so I could start dieting as well. So, 5 months later, I've lost absolutely nothing. I'm doing everything right for a change. Today is my first day on Phentermine.

How quickly should I notice results? Does your appetite actually decrease and you eat less? I know its only my first day, but my appetite seems the same. I just can't help thinking that this may be another failed attempt at weight loss. I'm hoping I'm wrong. I need to lose about 100 pounds and I'm at a loss for what else to try.

HI ! I just started yesterday. I have been a little spacy, but my desire for FOOD is GONE. Give it a few days. I am only on 1/4 of a tab a day to start, because I am so sensitive to medication. You can do this ! Idaho ! AHHHHH... Thats where I want to MOVE ! Still trying to talk the hubby into it ! If I can do this, Anyone Can !

Hi, I'm new to this too. I just started yesterday. Something is confusing me tho. My prescription says take one tablet daily AFTER breakfast. From what i've read on other postings, you take it on empty stomach??? Please offer suggestions, I noticed that when I took it yesterday it was on an empty stomach and I didn't even want to eat supper, but today I took it right after eating breakfast, and I got hungry by afternoon.

Phen works much better if taken on an empty stomach.If you do eat wait and take it about an hour later.Of course these are only my opinions(and many other phensters),I am NOT a Dr. I only play one for my kids!

Try it you might like it!Good Luck!

Idahomomma...you should notice results in a few days...at least as far as energy boost..and appetite control..the weight is different for everyone. I didn't really lose anything for about two weeks..then all of a sudden it started dropping pretty quickly..I think my first month I lost 13 lbs and really wasn't trying. So yes it does work!

Yes it does work better on empty stomach..I have tried it both ways. I usually take mine about 9:00 am and I am on the adipex 37.5.
Keep up the excerising it will help and drink plenty of water!

Good luck and keep us posted!

Thanks for your comments. I'm really trying to watch what I eat and I do exercise quite a bit. I'm so hopeful that this will end my years of being so heavy.

My prescription just says to take one each morning. I take it when I'm getting ready, before I head downstairs for the day, which is about a half hour before I eat breakfast.

Thanks Virgo69, I tried it and did like it...much better. Thanks for the advice

I take 30mg caps every morning at about 9 am on an empty stomach. If I eat first I stay hungry all day. I don't have the energy burst that the others talk about. Good luck!
