Phen and Xenical together? - Phentermine.com

ikee · July 4th, 2001, 03:21 PM

Im on a mission..and that mission is to lose the weight i gained after having 3 babies..lol. I am presently on the phentermine and was wondering if i can take Xenical at the same time? Not to be graphic but Xenical is the pill that doesnt let the body absorb fat and makes a oily poop? Sorry. Just want to know if Im calling this pill the right name. Any info would be appreciated. Ike

Hi ikee. I am on a mission also. I have also had 3 babies and i am trying too loose the weight i have gained. I take Zenical and phen. I do not have any problems doing both. But some people are different. I want too loose this weight one way or another. I have been on phen since the first week in may, and have lost 14 pounds. sometimes i foreget too take the zenical. It only works if you eat food with fat in it. If I eat something with not fat, then I don't take the zencial. It takes about 5 to 7 days for it too get in your system. Good Luck with the weight loss.

Good question! I also would like to lose the weight I've accumulated since having three babies (although my babies are now 16, 17, and 19!). Actually, it's only been the last 7 years that I've gained the weight. I was a size six until I got on that darn depo provera, which made me gain weight overnight and I have never been able to get it off, and in fact, have added another 25 pounds!

I have been researching the xenical and phentermine combination, and I think I would like to take it. The cost for a doctor visit here is $50, but then I can get a month's prescription at a time for any diet medication I want.

I'll let you know how it goes.

I too gained a ton of weight from that darn depo-provera shot. As soon as I got off it I got pregnant with my first baby. She is two now and I am trying to get the weight off from the depo-provera and from the baby. My doctor prescribed me both Xenical and Phentermine to try out. I haven't had any problems at all. In fact, I went to the doctor last week and I have lost 27 lbs since he gave me the prescription 7 weeks ago. It is a process but I am doing it. I think that the Xenical is great, especially if you are going to eat a meal that is higher in fat content.

So do you only take the Xenical before a meal high in fat or do you take it every morning like the Phen? What dosage of Xenical is usually used?

ROZZ · July 14th, 2001, 02:29 AM

Hi Colesmom you take the zenical before each meal. three times a day. depending on if the meal contains alot of fat. or if you eat 3 meals a day. my perscription is 120 mg's. I usually don't eat 3 meals a day. especially since I am taking phen. I don't have any side effects.

TaylorGrace - thank you for giving me hope! I am a former depo user, also, and gained more than 60 pounds. I haven't been able to lose it since I've been off depo over 7 years ago...and I've tried everything including working out steadily and all the diets! I still workout, but my goodness, I'm blue in the face from it with no results. It's not muscle, either. It's definitely fat! UGH. Well, I finally ordered the phentermine, and I'm excitedly awaiting its arrival. I will continue working out and hopefully get results from it. I'm also taking enzymes. Thanks for the hope!
