Hi, I am a new member also and just started phentermine yesterday. I am going to use it in conjunction with Dt Atkin's Diet. I am the only fat one in my family so ... sigh... I can't blame it on genes. I just like to eat :-( But what I was wondering...in reading some of the posts on this board, people have said that they have used phentermine for 8 years. I thought that it was only good initially and then once your body became used to it, it wouldn't work anymore?????

I've never heard of anyone taking it that long. Was it even around 8 yrs ago? I guess if they did, it would have been off and on, because yes, it does lose its effectiveness--usually within a month. I have seen though that if you take a break from it, it seems to work again.

I loved Atkins when I was on it--really worked well. If you haven't discovered the Atkins support on the challenge thread, and the low carb recipes, you are in for a treat--especially the deep dish pizza, and the mock danish.

welcome and good luck!

Hey there Trisha 1, yeah, I thought that too and I read that other post. But then again, phen really didn't work for me all that much, but really helped a lot of others. I think we all react to it differently!!

I don't know about 8 years of working, but to each there own!! I wish it worked for me!! Goodluck to you, how much weight are you planning on losing?? Keep us informed on your progress!!
LOVE PIGGIE
