Questions about Phendimetrazine 35mg

**mcconnecl** · March 2nd, 2009, 09:29 PM

So, I went to the doc today for my first check in at two weeks (I lost a disappointing 4 lbs), and was talking to the doc about my experience so far. I mentioned to him that I take my pill at 10:30am, and get hungry by 3pm. He prescribed another pill for me to take in the afternoon (5 hours or more before bedtime) called Phendimetrazine at 35mg. Does anyone else take this medication in addition to Phentermine? I currently take Phentermine 30mg, a B12 once weekly under the tongue, and now this new pill. Do the two interact with each other? Does it make you feel different? Did it make you lose additional weight? I've got lots of questions! Thanks guys!

Phendimetrazine or "Phen-D" is the same as Phentermine, only it is time released. It lasts about half the time Phentermine does.
I was taking 30 mg Phentermine with 35 mg Phen-D. I would take the Phen-D around 2 or 3 in the afternoon. I started getting chest pains and immediately stopped the Phen-D. However, many people have great success with the combo of Phen and Phen-D. If you get any chest pains what so ever, stop what you are taking and talk to your doctor. I ended up getting 37.5 mg Phentermine and stopped the Phen-D all together.

I'm taking Phedimetrazine 35mg 3x a day. I take it 1/2 hour before each meal. My 1st week I had trouble sleeping! This week seems to be better. I have a doc appt Friday for my 1st weigh in.

Thank you for the feedback! I took one this afternoon, and so far feel fine. How soon after taking it did you start feeling chest pains? I hope this doesn't happen to me, but if it does, I will be sure to let the doc know ASAP!

So, do you go to ASU? I went there for 2 years, unitl I got pregnant and had my son. Go Devils!

Thank you for the info... I took my first pill this afternoon, and feel like I might not sleep too well tonight! As with the Phen, I'm sure this will go away soon. Best of luck on your journey, and keep us posted!

The first week I was totally fine. The second week is when I started getting the chest pains.

And yes, I go to ASU. Haha! How funny!
