How long before Phen stops working, and how long after can u start again? - Phentermine.com

I've been on Phen less than a week, but I only take 30mg every other day or so. I'm afraid that my body will build up a tolerance to it too quickly, and I can't have that happen since I have 50lbs to lose.

What's the average time before it stops working?

I read that some people stopped taking it for a few months and when they started up again it worked fine. Is that true for most people?

Hi Lola and welcome!!
I had a lot to lose but it worked for about 2 1/2 months for me (I was on 15mg) then my doctor put me on 30mg and it only worked for another month. I have tried it a couple times over the past 2 years and it doesn't work for
me anymore

Good Luck to you!!

Tia- that really stinks! That's too bad. I wonder if you give it a solid year without starting up again if it would work then. How are you going about fighting the hunger and cravings now?

Hey Lola! I have been on the phen 37.5 since May 24, no complaints here. Still working just fine for me. I also take the b-12 and one a day weight loss vitamins.
Good luck to you and don't fret, you will lose, jsut drink plenty of water and eat right and make sure to work that bootie and YOU WILL LOSE!!
