I'm 5'8". Started at 265, 6 days later I'm at 257. Side effects so far: dry mouth, headache, some shakiness. Taking half a pill per day right now. Excited about my results!
Started 3 weeks ago with 1 pill per day. Doc wanted me to take 1 pill per day for a month and in a week I'll add the second pill per day. So far so good... no side effects and plenty of energy + no cravings until after lunch. Haven't weighed myself yet but my pants are looser, so I really think I'm losing. Excited to see what I can do with the second pill!
I’m one month into my treatment and down 9 kilos! Even with the best diet in the world, I never would’ve been able to accomplish this. I am very satisfied with my progress and the effectiveness of the pill. The only thing that I don’t like is the insomnia it causes, but apart from that I’m nothing but happy. I’m going to reach my goal!
So I’ve been on phentermine for 3 months now. I saw my doctor today and I’ve officially lost 40 lbs. I’m feeling really good! I have one more month to go. I will work out more this month so I can reach my goal of losing 50 pounds in 4 months.
Been on it for 6 months It has been really good. I've had a few side effects like insomnia (just in the first days) and dry mouth mostly. I lost 50 pounds. Never imagined I could get to ONEderland again :)
41 y.o female, 5'7 tall. Starting weight:189 lbs Current Weight:171 lbs. I liked that this pill helped me lose weight, but I still have constipation from it. Take first thing in the AM before breakfast - woeks all day.
I have PCOS and diabetes. Losing weight has been a struggle for me since I can remember. I have done every diet you could imagine and nothing worked until Adipex. I lost 62lbs on it, slow but steady. Hate the side effects and having to count calories, but everything is worth it. I finish my prescription in 6 days and I´m afraid I'm going to gain the weight back cus of PCOS. I still eat healthy and try to keep active, but it cost me so much to get where I am. I will get really depressed if I go back to how it was before :(
