Hi everybody! Long time lurker- first time poster here. My friend told me about Phentermine and that she got it from her dr. so i thought id just bee-bop on over to my doc and start my Phen the same day (current weight 170- dont even recognize myself anymore) goal weight 135) WRONG!!!! My doc said NO and told me to join Weight watchers (not that theres anything wrong with that-ww) Im absolutely crushed! Im in perfect health except for the extra lbs. Any suggestions?? He said he just wont perscribe it to anyone!
I so want to join you all- your such a supportive great bunch of people and so inspiring to me.
Is there anywhere else i could get it? If so which color and mg. should i start with? Any info would be great! Also, is really bad acne a side effect because thats what the doc told me also.
Thanks everyone!! have a super super day!!!!

You can purchase it on this website. They have 15mg, 30mg, and 30.7mg. I would purchase the 15mg to start with see if it does anything for you. If it doesn't seem to do anything then 2 two pills at the same time once a day. That should do something. That is exactly what my doctor told me. He also said that dry mouth, jittery, sleeplessness, & heart palputations are what they do to you they are not the side affects they are what to expect. I've been doing pretty well on it I've been on it for 5 days it seems to work I do it incunjunction with weight watchers because that is the only way I know how to eat sensibly and I can eat what ever I want its very simple Check out their website www.weighwatchers.com Believe it or not you can follow that program and lose weight I lost 39 pounds from it. But the phen helps curve your appetite. If you have anymore questions feel free to pm me.

There are several places you can purchase your phen on line. You could also go to another doctor. Not all doctors will say no so quickly. Remember that it isn't just about the phen...you also have to watch what you eat (make good choices and eat at least 1,200 calories), drink lots of water and EXERCISE. I can't say that enough!

Good luck with your journey.

Or...... you could take your doctor's advice and join WW, and still participate here. There are many people on this site who are NOT taking phen.

Just another option for you to ponder.

welcome to the board! one thing i remember from being here before is the support of people here is awesome!! thru the good days and the trying days!

i am seeing my regular doc for my phen. he was the first to say it is more than simply taking a pill. i have to have that committment to diet/nutrition and excercise and if he thinks i am just taking the pills but not making those other changes then he cant justify refilling my prescription. i can see his point and appreciate it. i will be going monthly for monitoring and refills. just curious, how many people are ordering online as opposed to seeing a dr? and how much is it costing for the prescription?

First off, Welcome!
I order my phen online! There are several different places that you are order online. This site offers some suggestions as to where to order from. I take 37.5mg. And I have had really good luck with it. I have lost 44 lbs since starting phen on 6-5-02. Phen is a great tool but there are things that you have to do to get results. Watch your intake 1200-1800 calories depending on activity level, water, water, and more water, exercise, I exercise 6-7 days a week, and I come here everyday and I joined a challenge here in the site and it has helped me stay focused and motivated to move towards my goal. And I have made some great friends here in the forums. I just want to say good luck to all of you and it was nice to meet ya. If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask... the people here are a great source of knowledge! Take care... Shannon
