cindywy1 · April 17th, 2008, 05:01 PM

HI all my name is CIndy and I havent gone to the drs yet. My appt is this Sat. I am going to talk to him about the phen. So not sure yet if he is going to even prescribe it for me or not. I have been reading this website for a few days and there is alot of helpful info. My question is how long do most stay on Phen. . I have tried lots of diets and even was going to have lap band surgery in Feb but that is very costly. So I found a weight loss clinic and I have appt late May. But I got to thinking I will just go to my family dr and see what he says. I want to start now. Thanks you all for your info that you put on here. I t does help.

Thanks

Cindy

I believe the "official" recommendation that doctor's get about the medication is 3 months. Many people on here have taken it much longer than that. Personally, I took it for 2 months, off 2 months, and am currently back on it again for the past 3 months. I chose to take a break, the doctor didn't tell me to take one.

I've been taking it since May 2006 with breaks here and there. My Dr. says it's good to take a break from it once in awhile, but he's never "made" me take one, I've done them on my own. I started out with 30mg and I switch back and forth from 30mg to 37.5mg. They are the same drug, but the 30 mg is time released and seems to last longer throughout the daytime. Plus, I can sleep better on those than the 37.5's!
