I've been on adipex tablets for 4 weeks and lost 3.5lbs, less than a pound a week. I went to my doctor today to report my results and we decided to switch to capsules to see if it makes a difference. Hopefully these work better for me but as they are the same dosage I’m not sure if there will be a difference. So far I’m disappointed, I hoped for much better results.
The effects were good at first and I had a lot of appetite suppression, not so much difference on the energy and the insomnia and mood swings was tough, but then after the first 3-4 weeks, I started to get hungry again and the cravings came back. My doctor wouldn’t put my dosage up and told me to exercise. I lost 12lbs the first month and then 4lbs the second month, and actually put on 3lbs the third month. Not sure what I did wrong but it didn’t seem to work for me for more than a couple weeks.
I started last year, at 196lbs. I lost 5lbs the first week but got bad dry mouth, dizziness, constipation from the start, and NO SLEEP! I got sick of lying awake every night so I started taking sleeping pills too – not something I wanted to start. I was doing aerobics class and felt like my heart was jumping out my chest. I got a boost of energy but this freaked me out. I also felt pains in my legs and joints, I think they say you should take calcium or iron supplements and vitamins. A month later I was at 182 but I stopped taking it regular until last month. I’m at 175lbs now, and starting to get chest pains, headaches so I stopped it altogether – not worth it.
I was reluctant as I heard things about this drug and wasn’t sure but I am happy to say it’s worked for me! After 4 weeks I’m down 15lbs, never lost so quick before so this is amazing. It’s taken my appetite completely so now I can eat portion sizes right for my size, which was what caused my weight gain. I have so much energy now, more than in months. Side effects: dry mouth, no appetite so I forget to eat, and very little sleep – I usually wake up after 4-5 hours sleep.
I’m 5'3 and was 202lbs when I started the adipex in Jan 2016. I’m now skipping days to stop them in the next couple weeks. Total weight loss is 38lbs in 3 months!! The first month I lost the most. Ate 1200 calories daily, so much water, worked out 4-5 x a week. I get headaches due to lack of water, sometimes I was dizzy bc I stood up too fast. Many sleepless nights from the energy - my body felt so tired but couldn’t sleep sometimes more than 3 hours. My body image isn't what I thought it would be, but my journey isn’t over, and I feel more confident. adipex is a tool I used to help change my life style, very thankful for it!
It took away my hunger and cravings during the first couple days, but it took awhile to get used to it. The first day I was groggy and dizzy, but got used to it. These are the side effects I got: hair loss, dry mouth, dry sore eyes, constipation, jitters, insomnia easily irritated, mood swings. But - lost 40 lbs, big energy boost, and it actually took away the headaches I used to get. After 3 months it’s not working with cravings and hunger anymore, but still tons of energy and no headaches. My doctor kept me on it but now high BP, so I decided to cut down. Now low energy and getting headaches again. Weight loss has plateaued these last weeks.
I got the dry mouth but drank a ton of water and you're supposed to do that anyways so that helped. I lost 7lbs in the first week but after that it slowed down and then a couple months in I couldn't notice the effects and felt hungry again. Overall I lost 20lbs but I have more to lose so I guess I will ask my doctor to go back after this break.
