Poll 30mg vs 37.5mg

[winnipb]

I am wondering what is working for most people - 30mg or 37.5mg. I was on the 30mg for the past 2 months and I have only lost 10lbs. Doctor put me on 37.5mg and so far I don't notice much of a difference. I had read where some thought the 30mg were time release & 37.5 were not but according to the Doctor and Pharmicist they said they are both time release and the 37.5mg should be more effective. What are you all on 30 or 37.5 and what kind of results have you had? Thanks Bev

What strenghth pills work best?

My doctor prescribed the 37.5 mg tablet, but I'm still taking only 1/2. I have become hungrier and I don't have as much energy as I did in the beginning, so I have considered taking a whole but I guess I'm not ready to take that step just yet. The 1/2 works well enough in the sense that it gives me just a little edge in controlling my bad behaviors, but basically I still have to do all the work. Hope that makes sense.

Good luck!

I am taking the 37.5 tablets (whole) each day, and I am not having any issues with hunger at all. As a matter of fact, I have to remind myself to eat...lol. I love it.

I actually take both strengths. I take the 30 mg capsule first thing in the AM and then 1/2 of the 37.5 at noon and another 1/2 around 4pm. My doctor told me the 30 mg are time released also and that they should last about 6-8 hours and the 37.5 should last around 3-4 hours. I like the 30 mg for the morning because the side effects don't seem as noticable and they curb my appetite pretty well. The 37.5 tablets seem to hit me faster and I get a rapid heartbeat if I take them too early. The 37.5 does keep my hunger from getting the better of me though.
I have lost about 22 pounds so far and am happy with that amount. Lost 12 the first month but then have slowed down.
