Default Phend vs. Phentermine
Ok guys, I have been taking phenD consistently for about 7 weeks now and while I am content (sorta) with the results that I have gotten, I am thinking of switching to phentermine.

It seems to me that the folks on phentermine are losing at a more rapid pace?? If you have taken both please let me know which you prefer and why.

Thanks

Hey girl! Well, like you I was on PhenD for two weeks. 105mg slow realease in the morning, then a 35mg in the late afternoon. I actually did really well on it, but I wanted to see how Phentermine worked as well. I just started the Phentermine today. I am on the 37.5mg of the phen. I will totally keep you posted today on how it makes me feel as compared to the PhenD! guess Im the little Guinea Pig pig here! lol

Well as noted before, I am on the combo. Phen and PhenD.

I was doing the 30mg phen and the 35mg phend. That 30mg was to much for me - side effect girl over here. I did ten pounds my first week... but I heard thats normal.

I switched to the 15mg phen and i still do the 35mg phend at night. I take one 15 in the morning around 9 or 10 and the second 15 at around 5-6 pm. And i really don't need the 35mg phend at night cause the two 15's carry over - but i still take it anyway.

However, when i was on the 30mg with the phend at night...;. I was super hungry in the evening.

With the 15mg - I get hungry but nothing crazy and as you can see from today i killed my stomach from eating more than half a portion. But I can see that I am losing weight alot slower... it looks to average 4-5lbs a week now.

Hahahahahaha! I so should be studyin!! Well lets see how this all works out. I am kinda feeling the phentermine now....Kinda wierd. The 105mg of the PhenD didnt really hit me, I guess beacuse it was a slow release capsule.

I was originally given one pill to take 2hrs after breakfast. That did absolutlely NOTHING for me. My dosage was increased to 2 pills a day and I now take my first pill BEFORE breakfast. This seems to be working fine for now but I am still considering asking for phentermine this time around.

Keep it up with the water and make sure that when u take your last 35mg it isnt to late in the day. So as just to make sure that you can sleep at night. just in case u do get that side affect of the insomnia. Also, I found that the 35mg in the afternoon gave me a big shot of energy so I took that blast and worked out! 30 minutes or even and hour. Something to kinda getyour heart rate going and a boost to your metablosim as well. Watch your calorie intake, I am supposed to be on a 1200 calorie diet, but I logged all my food and saw that even though I did the 1200 calorie diet, I burned off almost 500 with my excercise. Good Luck with all of it! and WELCOME

So, I am kinda thinking that the maybe I should do both the phen and phend like nikki
I really liked how the 105mg slow release worked for me all morning untill like 4 in the afternoon. You should ask your doc about trying out those pills! I may do that and then half of the 37.5mg phen in the afternoon. But we will see! So far the only difference I feel with the phen is I am more jittery.

Something must be wrong with me because when the doc pulled out the 30mg of Phentermine I told him it was a joke and it wasn't going to work for me. So he gave me 37.5 to take in the a.m. and PhenD to take at night...just took my first one... I'm bright eyed and bushy tailed!
