I just started Pristiq along with my phentermine today. Anybody else on this combo? Notice any changes? What about any other Phentermine & Anti-Depressant combos? Let me know!!

I've heard of the phen-pro combo (using diff anti depressants) and as some people know it works well

I've never even heard of that drug, so I can't give you any info there!

Yeah my mom is a nurse and she said that it's a new or semi-new anti depressant so she told me to try them. I just want something to work. Heaven forbid I quit taking the Phentermine and lose weight the old fashioned way

I just started the phen-pro combo on 1/3/09. I've learned that the combo is suppose to make the phen work better. I have a good bit ways to go in this weight loss journey so I hope the combo works well.

I too take a combo of Phen and prozac. It works well with me. The prozac is the only anti-depressant that gives me no side effects. I know the Doctor I see recommends taking an anti-depressant along with this Phen diet because most people are overweight because of being depressed, then it makes you more depressed so you eat more, it's a vicious cycle.
Although my pounds haven't been coming off as fast as some, I have lost an average of 2.66 lbs. a week. Today I went for my weekly shot and asked why I haven't lost more, the Doctor told me he doesn't recommend anyone to lose more than 1-3 pounds a week. He said if you lose to fast and too much each week you have a greater chance of putting it all back on after you come off the Phen. He said he is very happy with my weight loose and said I'm doing it right for longer lasting results.
So for you out there getting discouraged about the small amount each week, keep up the good work and hang in there it didn't take 30, 60,or 90 days to put that weight on so how can we safely lose it in that short amount of time and keep it off.

Best of luck to you all, and congrats to those who have hit their goal! You Rock!

I am taking prozac and phen. I took straight phen since july and got down to 155lbs. My doc took me off phen for 2 weeks to give me a chance to "feel" prozac (for panic attacks) then he let me back on phen not knowing it was an actual combo. So, I started it on Saturday and have had freakish amounts of energy (except tonight) and Ive already lost 7lbs in a week......I expect more by tomorrow.

I noticed my profile didn't update. If this post doesn't work how do you go about changing weight lost.
I already updated on extrapounds. So weird? I even added the latest picture taken of me last Sept 2008, I hate taking pictures and always make sure the camera is in my hands so I don't end up in one.

Well I have been on the phen for a couple months now but just now started the Pristiq yesterday. So I am assuming it will take a couple of weeks for that med to take effect?

I am also taking this combo and am curious to see if it ****s.

I have been on phentermine for one month. My dr. prescribed Pristiq, but doesn't know I am on phentermine because I get it at a weightloss clinic. So, I looked up Pristiq on the web and under Interactions it says not to use these drugs together because you can have serious effects. Have any of you been told this? Are you still taking these two drugs together?
