Adipex-P Brand vs the Generic - Phentermine.com

vixenstar · October 7th, 2008, 08:52 PM

Hello All !!!

I just have a quick question if you will....

I was wondering if there is anyone out there that takes the Brand Name Adipex-P 37.5mg pill verses the generic form. I am aware that there is a cost difference but I have only heard from one person on here, that's had experience with the brand name.

If there is anyone out there, please let me know what you think of them. Like, the effectiveness, the side effects, goods, bads, etc ................

Thanks Bunchs !!!!

i started out taking adipex p 37.5 and LOVED it... i took it till july then had to get generic.. *finances* and then i had to stop all together... i just started back this past sat and i got my NAME BRAND adipex... i SOOOOO could tell the difference... the phen just didnt work as well for me.. though i have heard other ppl on this board who have taken both sayin they liked phen better than adipex.. its all on how YOUR body reacts.. and my likes adipex... idk why but i feel more energetic, and bouncy, and i hardly ever eat... w/ phen i could tell it was curbin my appetite.. but adipex totally took it away... sooo gl to you!

I think whatever you start with works best, I was taking phen and switched to adipex and adipex did nothing for me, it made me sick and constipated. I switched back to my phen, I am so much happier.

I took phen for 2 months, then this last month switched to adipex. I didn't notice a difference at all and was very disappointed! But, I'm glad I gave it a try to find out or I would have always been wondering. Next month it's back to phen for me. I can't say that I wouldn't recommend it, because I think everyone is different. I think you should give it a shot if you can afford it (or maybe even if not...I really couldn't) Good Luck to you!

Vixenstar I have to add that much to my surprise, that during this month that I have been using adipex, I lost 11 lbs. Last month on phen was only 6 lbs. Maybe it is working better, even though I don't feel it. Just wanted to let you know!

I just take the generic phen and it works great for me. I have just heard others say that it doesn't work the same. I know that it is much more expensive~like double the price of the generic. I also swich the pharmacies that I go to every month. Each pharmacy that I go to has a different manufacturer that they use so that is my way of fighting the effectiveness. I also take breaks on the weekends.
