**countryasadirtroad** · June 18th, 2008, 01:46 PM

I have heard that phen gradually stops working after a few months? Is this true? How long has it worked for some of ya'll? I have read some threads on here that some people do the 5/2 method, but I don't care for trying to keep up with that. My work schedule changes every week and sometimes I don't even know what day it is! I was thinking of trying the 2wks on 1wk off method... has anyone tried this? Any suggestions? I'm changing up my food intake and my exercise from the get go, but I'm still worried.

I've been on/off it for 4 years. Just like any medication, your body does get used to it. It took forever for me to lose any weight, then went off of it and started gaining again. It's the 'yo-yo' effect but this time I'm doing the 'right' things to hopefully keep it off. The stop/start taking of phen never worked for me, it just messes up my system.

Thanks for the input Goth, I'm not sure what I'm going to do... I think I will just stay on it for a while and see what happens. It's only been a week, I'm just trying to think ahead to long term goals.

You know, I honestly do not think it QUITS working, just that you body adjusts to it, and you dont have the major side-effects such as not wanting to eat, major wired feeling etc. I think it still works, as an AIDE to weightloss, but wont work just by only taking Phen...Water water water, and moving that booty and choosing the right foods, that in combo w/ Phen, will help you!
