My first time on Phentermine - Phentermine.com

Alleykat · May 31st, 2007, 01:57 PM

Hello,

I'm a newbie on this site and today I went to the doctor's office and got my Phentermine 37.5 dosage. I can't wait to start it in the morning. I'm at my heaviest at 227 lbs and don't want to feel heavy anymore. I know that my gtoal weight is 140 lbs and I look forward to getting to that point.

I had a good visit. He explained all the side effects but said I didn't need a B-12 shot. Does anyone else take Phentermine without the shots and how are your results.

I have read many post where everyone talkes about the shots. I'm wondering if taking the B-12 in the pill form would get the same results.

Anyway, I will be watching what I put in my mouth from now on and starting to exercise.

I love the fact that this forum has a lot of support.

Welcome here Alleykat! I took phen a few years ago without the b12 shot and had great results. I am now taking b12 in sublingual form but am not taking phen. I am in the process of trying to find another doctor who will prescribe it for me. Sorry I am of no help to you, hopefully someone here will be able to answer your question. Good luck on your weight loss.

i take 1/2 37.5 phen daily and i had inquired about b-12 shots when i went for a check up. she told me that b-12 shots would NOT benefit you unless you are deficient in the vitamin. to make sure, she did lab work and my b-12 level was "too high"-- i read that too much b-12 cant hurt you but, i had more than enough??

from what i understand, its a waste of money to get it and not have a NEED for it.. but, im sure that some would differ-stating that they have noticed a difference in their energy levels and weight loss. so,im guessing its just a matter of opinion.

I agree with rant some. I don't take the shot and have had (what I consider) good success.

I take 30mg and no shots. My doctor did not mention shots. But I take a multi viatamin, vitamin E, and Niacin as well. Plus fiber supplements 2x a day. I have been what I think is successful.

Welcome & good luck!

B Vitamins are nature’s “feel-good” nutrients, promoting energy, stamina, mental clarity, and improved mood. I give myself B-12 injections not for the energy, but for my moods. Phen makes me moody and sometimes drugged down and I feel like the B12 helps A LOT! There has to be a reason why the majority of doctors prescribe and/or recommend the vitamin to phen people.

Everyone here does what works for them, you'll find your groove, just don't give up and DRINK YOUR WATER!! =)

Thanks everyone for the info. As funny as it my seem, I took my forst doasage yesturday and felt really sluggish at work. I was tired but not sleepy. My body was just tired. Then I work up this morning and felt fine. I slept like a baby.

I have read that Phen makes so people not sleep the first couple of days but I slept fine. I don't want to jinks myself.

I wathced what I eat yesturday but it times I felt a little hungry but I think it was in my mind because when I ate my lunch I really wasn't that hungry but I ate anyway because I knew that I needed too.

And again to everyone thanks for all of your encouragements. I was everyone success.
