Hi everyone!I've been a lurker for a few days now. I found this site while looking for some info on Adipex. I was in Vegas all of Labor day weekend and on the last day, I was exhausted! Well, my girlfriend had some Adipex, that she swears by, and gave me one. Well, about an hour later, it felt like I had 1,000 little men running up and down my body! Whoa! I was ready to go dancing again! She gave me three for the road, and I started my research. Anyway to make a long story short, I took them tues, wed and thurs. Felt not hungry at all, but kinda "fuzzy" and forgetful. I can feel that my vision went blurry for a bit. I think I read this goes away. Question, has anyone tried Xenadrine? I've been taking it for a few months and it seems to suppress my appetite and give me energy, but I get kinda jittery.. Has anyone taken Adipex and then phentermine? Is there a difference? Anyway, I look forward to posting here regularly. (Some more info: I started at 161 on Xenadrine, lost about 7 pounds in 6 weeks-(doing atkin's too), took Adipex for 3 days and lost 3 pounds: bought it yesterday.. ha ha. GW: 125

Welcome to Phenland!!!
I am probably with most people here to say that you should not mix meds,you should probably not do the Adkins diet,exersise,and drink alot of water!
First off find a med that seems to help you with choosing the right foods as Phentermine does for most (I don't know alot about any other meds).
If one does not seem to help wjth giving it a good steady try then take a break and try somthing else.
As for the Adkins Diet,I personaly could NOT do it for I don't eat meat,however you must look at it like "could I eat like this forever" kinda thing because once to go back to "normal" eating you'll regain most likely.
Instead try to eat a well balanced meal with fresh fruit and veggies as well with lean meats.
I don't really stick to hard with a certain diet but instead I eat in moderation what I want with little saturated fats and sugars.Also try to eat small amounts frequently.
Next (sorry so long) EXERSISE you must exersise! Diet pills are there to help not to do all the work.You need to work together as a team,so exersise start small if need be.
The next an final thing I want to say to all ya newbies is WATER!WATER!WATER!WATER! You must drink plenty!
If you feel the need for multi vitamins then it is probably wise too.
I'm sorry this is so long but I just want to help!

I have taken Xenedrine before, and I also felt VERY jittery. I believe that it has a large dose of ephedera in it which isn't very good for you at all. As a suggestion try reading the label, it probably says in small print that you should not have more than 100mg of ephedera in a day, and to take if for no more than 3 months. I have tried many diet pills, and started to get concerned about ephedera, and saw this written in small letters. If you are not wanting to take phentermine, I might suggest Stacker 2. On the label of this, it gives the recommendation for ephedera intake in small writing and if taken in the recommended dose, you would not exceed the maximum amount. I lost about 15 pounds with that, as it also helps to curb your appetite. Sorry so long, hope I have helped.

You will most likely want to check with your doctor My dr just told me he wants me to lose another 20 lbs.. GRRRR...

Thanks for all of your advice guys! As for Atkin's, I like eating that way, I've never been a bread or potato kind of person, but I overload on veggies, anything except brussel sprouts! I drink about 100oz of water a day, seems the more I drink, the thirstier I get! I've noticed that the Xenadrine does not curb my appetite as much as the Adipex, I've ordered the phentarmine this time, see how that goes! I'm going to my doctor on Thursday, I am getting my prescription for Zyban to stop smoking, second try.. this has worked wonders for me, but I had to quit getting the prescriptions when I left my old job and took about 4 months off. Now my new company will not cover Zyban, but will cover wellbutrin.. so I'll be doing the phen-well. Will keep updating!
