Long time lurker first time poster - Phentermine.com

jschabbel · April 13th, 2005, 05:17 AM

Hello All -

I've been lurking around this board for about four months and finally decided to join in!

I started taking Bontril SR 105mg in January through a prescription from my doctor. I was desperate for a jump start to my weightloss program and so she agreed to a two month trial. Well, I was able to lose 22 lbs in those two months

On my last weigh in I wasn't able to actually see the doctor so therefore I wasn't able to talk her into "just one more month". I was without Bontril for about three weeks and did quite well maintaining and losing a couple more lbs. Some friends had asked me how I was losing weight and so I told them and they decided to order online - I went in with them an ordered another months worth. So, here I am down 28 lbs since New Years Eve and couldn't be happier. I have one more week left and don't plan on reordering - I'm a little scared but hopefully with the development of good eating habits and the support of this board - I can do it!

I love checking this forum everyday to see everyones progress along with trials and tribulations. Also, to see what works for some and what doesn't work for others.

Thanks for allowing me to ramble on, join this group and tell my story.

What is Bontril? Thanks, Megan

jschabbel · April 13th, 2005, 06:34 AM

Bontril is along the same line as Phen but my Doctor seemed more comfortable with prescribing Bontril then she did Phen (I asked for Phen). I guess she said it had less side effects on your heart and blood pressure????? I don't have any side effects except a lose of appetite while taking the Bontril. I do wish it would give me more energy though -

welcome Jen!

I been on Phen for 7 days now and sown 9 pounds most being water Im sure but I was wondering the cost of Bontril I paid 52.00 for a 60 month supply od Phen subscribed by my doctoragin welcome

Thanks for the welcome sexysmile

I paid about $32.00 (not covered by insurance)for a 30 month prescription through my doctor but paid about $50.00 with s/h online when I split a 90 supply with a couple friends. I'm not sure what site they ordered from but they looked exactly like the ones I got from the pharmacy.

Hi Jen! Great job so far. What a good way to start off the first part of the year!

Best wishes to your continued success!

Glad to meet you, Jen. This is definitely the place to be. When the meds fail you the friends lift you up. This is where I learned that.
I'll be watching for your posts to get the latest updates!
