I lost 3kg's in 4 days

[ipvidual]

Hi all, Just a lil about myself. I started taking phentermine 30mg capsules 4 days ago. Today is my 4th day i have been taking phen. Ofcourse reason being for myself taking it is to lose weight. Iam 180cm and weighed 94kg's 4 days ago. I weighed myself today and I weigh 91kg's . So thats 3kgs lost in 4 days. I have restricted myself to eating as little as possible and also eating as healthy as possible . Than included ,. cereal for breakfast with fruits in a bowl with glass of juice. For lunch i dont eat or if i did i ate a muesli bar and dinner at 6pm i eat some type of meat, whether its chicken , beef or so and only having it grilled not fried. AS U ALL know phentermine is a imiracle drug for appetite suppressive actions. My aim is to get to 85kg's and then I will be happy and will consider stop taking phen. I take only 1 30mg capsule. My doc prescribed them to me , though she wasnt very keen but myself being a good actor and able to influence people she did prescribe it to me and said to becareful and that its not medication for long term use. She also told me that she has to see me in 1 month exactly for check up . She ofcourse weighed me , recorded all details and that was it. She is the doc who i get oxycontin 80mg's from for when my back pain is beyond control. I have severe scolliosis and get oxycontin 80's prescribed once every 6 months or so.

Im not going to kid anyone and am as open as possible wanting to say that Im not new to amphetamines. Many years ago I used to have problems with meth and quickly became an abuser with my friends. That was 5yrs ago. From what I read on phentermine it shows that it is an amphetamine class drug, mimicing all amphetamine effects. But im sure sticking to prescribed dose of 30mg a day I only feel slight mood uplifting effects, more energetic but I cannot say that it makes me PEAK like being on methamphs. For $111 that I paid for 30 pills of phen I consider it to be very effective medication for weight loss. Iam sure if it was abused and taken in very high doses like 150mg's or there about anyone would be overwhelmed with amphetamine like effects. PS/ I studied a year of pharmacy and recently completed PATHOLOGY course. Thought I let you guys know. NOW this is where I need your help as I have few questions. Sorry for such a huge load of info.

1: On 4th day I feel that phen that I take on empty stomach and hour before I have breakfast seems that its not as effective as it was on my first day of taking it. I know body gets used to drug effects but 4 days is a little bit too soon to feel a drug being less effective. By less effective I mean I dont feel as energetic and as high as I did 4 days ago. Dont get me wrong Im not taking it to chase a high, I been drug free for many years but I thought I ask as majority of you know phen a lot better than I do and have a lot more experience as myself.

2: Once I stop taking it whenever it may be , do you think I will gain weight back ? I will not let myself abuse junk food like I did for few years and will stick to strict diet that I have been sticking to for last 4 days. I know 4 days isnt a long journey into weighloss but I just thought I ask. Iam strong willed and not worried about phen's habbit forming properties.

3: Do you think maybe I should take another half a capsule at about 12pm each day. I mean I would still take 30mg at 9am and eat something and then maybe I should take another 15mg's ??? What is your opinion ?? Or is it normal for myself to feel like Iam getting used to phen's feeling 4 days into it.

PLEASE LET ME KNOW when you get some time , I will greatly appreciate your views and advice. And if anyone ever needs help with anything that Iam knowledgable in I will be helping without thinking twice.

SORRY ONCE AGAIN FOR SO MUCH READING I HAVE ENDURED U INTO and will be awaiting some replies. THX TO U ALL

Congrats on the 4 kgs!! I also wanted to thank you for opening up about your previous drug abuse. It takes a lot of courage and is a good sign that you have kicked the habit.

For those of us wondering I did the conversion 94kg is about 207lbs as her start weight and a loss of about 8lbs in first four days, that's a great loss!!

Ok so now to the advice you asked for, I have been on Phen before and recently started again, the first few days I did have the extreme boost of energy and that faded very quickly. This second time around (9 months later), the increase energy faded even quicker. I still have the main desired effect of appetite suppresant which is what is most important so I don't mind. With that said, I had a bad addiction to caffine for years. I stopped drinking anything with cafine in it two years ago but occasionally accidently do have some and I guess my body is still use to it cause it has no effect on me. I can also take my Phen at 4pm and go to bed at 10! Many ppl cannot take their Phen too late or they'll be up all night. So my guess is that it just affects us all differently. As long as it still suppresses my appetite I'll be happy. I would not suggest taking any more at least not right now, and talk to your doctor about it before increasing your dosage. As far as gaining the weight back, I was off Phen for 9 months and lost another 7 pounds and then maintained. I went back on Phen so that I can lose more and make it to my goal weight. I believe as long as you get yourself into a regular exercise plan and eat right you'll be fine and wont gain any back. I hope my advice is of some relief to you. If you have anymore questions feel free to PM me or reply. i would be gald to help any way I can.

hi, just want to thank you for advice and opinion. I greatly appreciate it. Just thought I add something , its 2pm now in Australia Melbourne. I did have 15mg's more few hours after i took my initial 30mg.... I really dont see any difference at all. AS I said Im not their chasing a high, AND HAVE TO AGREE WITH U, ASLONG AS APPETITE IS SUPRESSED , IM HAPPY ASWELL. Its just very interesting how phentermine being so similar to methamph and amphetamine adopts so quickly to our body. Its not right, but I aint the one who is going to start converting phen into something more effective. I wonder if there are more effective weight loss meds . Weight loss meds is something i never got into studying. I know a lot of ADD/ADHD meds would work similar to phen but side effects would be greatly increased. Im thinking of asking my doc for Methylphenidate or dexamph. I really doubt she will prescribe it to me as it shows instantly on computer that its SCHEDULE 8 in RED meaning its a controlled substance and she may really be weiry of prescribing such drug as Im not really obese. Iam overweight but far from being obese.

Let me know what you guys think. All views will be greatly appreciated. Has anyone tried anything similar to phen??? not including illegals like meth and etc. I know crystal does work well as a weight loss drug also but in the end its not worth the weight u lose, as next day u feel like u better not have been born I noticed phen has no comedowns. Maybe it does but most of us dont notice it as it would be quiete short and body would recover while we are all asleep. Im very interested if there is a difference between capsules and tablets. Also , i know in OZ they also have 40mg capsules of phen. OHHH AND 1 thing i realised since i started taking it is that I had to take at least 1 x 5mg valium a day to make me not feel anxious and b4 bed I take temazepam 10mg. Maybe that is the reason why I sleep well. lol ;p

LET ME KNOW WHAT u guys think of similar weight loss medication alternatives like Ive mentioned above, ones that are mainly used in cases of ADD/ ADHD.

thanks again and hope hearing from u .... ALL THE BEST TO U ALL WITH EVERYTHING U WANT TO ACHIEVE, WHETHER ITS WITH THE HELP OF MEDS OR NOT , WEIGHT LOSS is still LOST WEIGHT. no matter how u look at it ;p
