Phend vs. Phentermine

**insearchofme** · February 20th, 2008, 02:30 PM

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

Renee

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

**insearchofme** · February 20th, 2008, 03:10 PM

Thanks dianicole! My doctors appointment is tomorrow, so I think I will ask for phentermine instead this time. I guess we will both be guinea pigs. LOL. Let me know how it works for you.

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.

**dianicole** · February 20th, 2008, 03:30 PM

So Nikki, which one do you perfer? I am kinda feeling the Phentermine now. I took a whole 37.5mg
I know a lot of other people take only half... Or is the mix of both good to?

**Nikki finn** · February 20th, 2008, 03:38 PM

The Phen. Because by the time I get to the PhenD i don't need it. But it never really curbed my hunger.... it was kinda like a downer after speeding all day..lol

I SO SHOULD BE DOING WORK AT WORK RIGHT NOW!!!! HAHAHA

**dianicole** · February 20th, 2008, 03:45 PM

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.

**jalynn77** · February 20th, 2008, 05:58 PM

hey ya'll just wanted to say hey....I have just started taking phen-d the 35mg 3 times a day, today's my 1st day. just wondering if there are any tips? i'm drinking my water anything else?

**insearchofme** · February 20th, 2008, 06:06 PM

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!

What time did you take your PhenD at? and how many mil. is it? I made the mistake of taking my 37.5mg at like 7pm and girl....It was all bad! Up all night!! totally learned from that!!

**Krissy8581** · February 21st, 2008, 02:14 AM

I was on the PhenD for two weeks and just started the Phentermine today. I am going to give it another day, but I think that I am gonna go with the 105mg PhenD in the morning and in the afternoon do the 37.5mg of the Phentermine. I think that the PhenD lasted a whole lot longer than the Phentermine for me. But you never know, a lot of people are different.

Yeah, I was a little nevous too, but really I am such a night owl! I usually dont get to bed untill after 1:00am anyways. Even if I am really tired, I stay up.

Im wierd like that. Really though, I just enjoy the peace and quiet in my house! My kids are in bed, my Fiance is knocked out and I get to read a whole chapeter of my book without hearing, "mommy!" babe, where's the?" or " no that mine!" **sigh**
But if I cant fall asleep, Ijust take the melatonin, and a cup of sleepy time tea. Or if I had taken my phend really late in the afternnoon. I make sure to have all that plus one 50mg delsum!

Im excited for you!!! when r u going to get the phend?

**Krissy8581** · February 21st, 2008, 02:54 AM

me2!!!!! mynext appt is march 2nd so two weeks or so, but friday im gonna go get CLA and maybe 5htp and do that, but I didnt realize there was phenD and phentermine, wasnt ever sure what phenD was and the worst thing is I work in a damn pharmacy (WTF) LOL. But i was going through some stuff on the computer and saw the phenD (cant spell the actually spelling but wrote it down, again you think i would know from my work but.....) and was like that is what they are talking about, then looked it up and Im sure my doc will give it. Anywho, im rambling!! I am too a nite owl, ****s cuz i gotta get up at 6am every day but i cant make myself go to bed, it sux, but it is time to your self for sure!!!

**dianicole** · February 21st, 2008, 03:01 AM

Okay call me an air head but whats CLA and 5htp? lol
Shame on you for not knowing anything about Phendimetrazine! LOL!!! what dosage do you think your gonna wanna start?

**Krissy8581** · February 21st, 2008, 03:08 AM

I know huh, lol. i was like i cannot believe it was in front of me the whole time!! I was thinkin probaly the highest dont you think?? I dunno, but it seems cheaper that way at my pharmacy. 5htp is like a apitite suppresent as well and it helps with all sorts of other stuff, google it and check it out, CLA is some sort of pill that takes the fat out of your abdominal area somehow. And shirnks up the fat cells, google it too, and there is a certain type of CLA you want, when you read about it it will tell you that too, I was reading all about the other nite, and gnc or health food store will have them

**dianicole** · February 21st, 2008, 03:17 AM

NICE!!! I never even heard of them. I think I may have read about it in passing in another thread, but I didnt really pay attention to it!! Im gonna go and google it right now! well after I drink my flushing tea

**Krissy8581** · February 21st, 2008, 03:22 AM

i need to goodle this tea everyones talking about, I just wish I knew when i would explode!!! lol. well gotta try and fall asleep, find me on myspace, mite already be friends tho. lol

**insearchofme** · May 2nd, 2008, 12:07 PM

So, I switched to phentermine in March, and it seems my weight loss has slowed down??? Not sure if that is due to the switch or lack of motivation. Just wondering if anyone else has swicthed from pheD to phentermine, and then back to pheD.

Tomorrow, I am starting Adipex, to see if the brand makes a difference for me.

Thoughts, anyone???

**RoxanneRoxanne** · May 2nd, 2008, 12:13 PM

Good luck with the Adipex!

**insearchofme** · May 2nd, 2008, 08:31 PM

So have any of you guys tried both phendimetrazine and phentermine, and seen better results with the PhenD?

**Chrissie_M** · May 2nd, 2008, 09:00 PM

I started in March on PhenD (my doctor wanted me to try it because of less side effects) and I lost 9 pounds in two weeks. A good start for me. But the third week, I don't know why, my hunger came back like gangbusters and the 4th week, it just STOPPED doing anything for me. Wierd, I know. I told the Dr to try me on phentermine (37.5 mg - broken in half and take one half in the morning, the other half in the afternoon) and that jumpstarted my weight loss again. In two more weeks I lost 6 pounds, and I 'm happy with that rate of weight loss. So, after 6 weeks I've lost 15 pounds -- more than I've lost on my own ever in my life. I think (for me) the phentermine is the most effective because it really curbs my appetitie big time and helps me concentrate on making healthy food choices instead of my usual carbs. Hope this helps some.

Thanks for your response. I am curently taking 1/2- 37.5mg daily, and not sure how well it is working for me.

Well I think I told you this before but I have taken both and had more luck on the phen than the phenD....

Right now I don't think anything will work except maybe a stick of dynamite stuck up my *****..

Seriously I think it is possible to have success on both, it is just a matter of which pill you have less side effects to.

Adipex is totally kicking my butt..I took a whole pill yesterday instead of half and was stoned....and a headache. Let me know how you do on that.

I am gonna stick to the 1/2 Adipex tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up. I think I am just looking for a reason why I am not losing as quickly as most, and the sad truth is I am not trying hard enough. Thanks again Scat.
