Starting Pent, March 1,,my story

[zdaddy]

Hello Im brand new to this, and this is a story I want to share, as well as keep you posted, this is my first post. First a little about me..I am soon to be 39 (may 17) and my current height and weight is 6'3 and 275 lns.
In my early 20s my weight was a constant 200 lbs, PERFECT! then in my mid 20s it was a constant 220 lbs NOT BAD, in my late 20s it was a constant 240 lbs OH OH, early 30s constant 260 lbs PROBLEM now in my late 30s its pushing 280 lbs NO WAY, now is the time for a change!!!!
I have always amazed people by the amount of food I could eat at one sitting, this was quite amazing and enduring when I was skinny but now its embarissing.
Working out has never been a problem with me,,I enjoy jogging and going to the gym, I guess my problem is my appetatite, Im always hungry!
After talking with my doctor he has prescribed Phentermine and it has been only 4 days, too early to see if its working, but keep in mind this is my first posting.
I can tell you this so far, I still get hungry but i have found half way through eating I get full, so I guess im eating less, but I do find I get hungry again about an hour later, but I choose to ignore it.
I definately am experiencing dry mouth, I find I am also urinating more, I fall asleep ok, but I have been waking up in the middle of the night, unable to fall back asleep for awhile,, and lastly I have been having weird dreams/nightmares last 4 days too, not sure if thats related.
Theres my story,l hope you find it interesting, and I welcome your thoughts...Rob

Hello, just wanted to welcome you to the site =)

Thanks for sharing your story!
As far as you still being hungry after taking Phen can I ask what your dosage is, 15 mg, 30mg or 37.5? Maybe if you continue to feel hungry, your doctor can up your dosage? And what time are you taking it?? Usually taking mine mid morning works best for me. I usually only get a little hungry by 8 or 9pm and by that point I can fight the urge to eat.
Sorry I can't be of more help!!
Good Luck with everything and keep in touch!

Hi there, I had the same problem with being hungry all the time in the beginning. But 2 weeks into it, I don't find myself hungry nor do I crave any sugar or carbs like I used to...regarding nightmares, I haven't had nightmares per se, however I have had some strange vivid dreams...they also went away. I think my problem is I crash after a couple of hours...I need to come home and at least take a 30 minute power nap.

Looking forward to your loss, good luck!

Hey Rob, welcome to the forum! Your story is interesting and I can relate too! Those pounds just crept up on me over a few years and then I had children and it was all over.

I used to wake up in the middle of the night too and unable to get back to sleep but that is gone now. I still get dry mouth when I am exercising and I do have very vivid dreams but I've never related it to the Phen... interesting!! I will start taking more notice of that!! Let us know hoe your weekend goes...

Hey Rob! I'm pretty new to all of this too i started Adipex on 2/18 I was still getting hungry even after taking my pill. So i stared trying different things and for me if I eat around 8:00 a.m and then take my pill at about 9:30 I stay full soo much longer and I take advantage of the dry mouth and drink as much water as i can while it last..haha I am not a big fan of water so I drink ALOT of crystal light I still have problems waking up in the middle of the night and not being able to go back to sleep tho which is not great but I am seeing pretty good results with the Adopex and I hope you do as well I look foward to seeing your progress
