Phentermine Reviews for Weight Loss

Phentermine is a prescription weight loss medication used to help overweight and obese patients lose weight. As a central nervous system stimulant, it suppresses appetite and boosts fat burning by creating a biological response similar to “fight or flight” ( 1 ). This helps patients lose more weight that they would with diet and exercise alone.

Learn more about real users’ experiences with this medication by reading through some of the phentermine testimonials below. They speak about their individual triumphs, concerns, and overall opinions of the weight loss medication.

Lomaira Reviews

Lomaira is the lowest-available dose of phentermine. It is a brand-name tablet that contains just 8mg of phentermine hydrochloride per pill and can be easily split in half to provide an even smaller 4mg dose. 

These hourglass-shaped tablets are ideal for patients who:

Qsymia Reviews

Qsymia is a combined pill that contains two medications: phentermine hydrochloride (phentermine HCL) and topiramate extended-release (topiramate ER). While the phentermine works as a stimulant to reduce appetite and boost fat burn, topiramate reduces cravings and makes food seem less appealing.

This brand-name medication is effective in producing weight loss, and is approved for longer-term use than phentermine monotherapy, but also has a long list of potential side effects ( 5 ). 

Qsymia is more expensive than phentermine alone, so doctors may also opt to prescribe a combination of generic phentermine and generic topiramate (instead of the brand-name combined pill) if phentermine alone is not working as expected.
