Hi my name is Julie. I am approximately 20-35 (stretch goal) from goal. I had lapband sugery 2 years ago and have lost 100 lbs. My doctor prescribed me Phentermine about 5 days ago. I also follow the core food plan with Weight Watchers. He prescribed me 3 months worth of 30mg Phen. How long can you stay on phen? I heard up to a year.

I've been taking it for 4 years. I've taken breaks from it(on my own) over the years but have had a hard time keeping the weight off. I'm trying to do all the "right" things this time to keep it off for good.

Wow! Congrats on the 100 lb. weight loss!! My doctor only prescribed me a 2 month supply of phen 37.5mg. I've been reading and it seems like you can only be on it for a few months and then you need to take a break for a while because your body can get used to the drug and then not work as well.

Hi I am from CA too! Orange County. I heard that you burn out after a few months and then you have to regrow like Nuro Transmitters or something. Thats what my doc say's. So i'm really trying to take the time with the help of meds to revamp my lifestyle and definitly eat less and eat right so hopefully when I'm off the meds that will just stick.

I have a 3 month supply. I am a total addict so I don't want to stay on it too long if you know what I mean.
