Phentermine 37.5 anybody?

Mmm yeah that's false.
I used it (half pill) for only a week after my first binge 30 days into losing weight and I've not had any issues since that binge 7+ weeks ago. Zero side effects for me. Definitely curbed my cravings because I was ready to go back to eating bad and giving up even though I had already lost 25+ pounds. Stopped taking it after a week of use and everything is going well. I almost wish I used it the first 2 weeks of my new life style as I was miserable to the point of tears every waking moment with severe food cravings and extreme hunger.
It's an aide, not a solution and it isn't for long term use.
A calorie deficit is the only thing required to lose weight.
The drug will work only if you eat at a calorie deficit, and if you eat at maintenance or at a surplus, the drug will not work at all.
The reason you've been successful at your weight loss after choosing not to take the pill any more is because you created a calorie deficit.
Just because you tried it out without zero side effects, and you have been successfully losing weight without it, does not mean your experience applies to everyone else. However, a calorie deficit leading to weight loss is science, just as a surplus of calories leads to weight gain.
Aides are not necessary to weight loss.
I am pretty sure I didn't say I lost all of my weight due to phen
Just because someone has a host of side effects doesn't mean every person will. Just because someone gains all the weight back when they get off phen doesn't mean everyone will. See how that logic goes?
Aides are not necessary to YOUR weight loss. I don't believe you speak for every person losing weight, sorry
The problem with drugs like phentermine is that side effects may not be seen until irreparable damage is done.

Essentially that is every drug on the market. My thyroid pills can cause heart damage and seizures.. and they do. You still are not making any valid counterpoints to anything I said. The OP asked for experiences on the drug. I am sorry that I didn't have an awful experience and can speak from a neutral point of view. People seem to really hate when anyone has a positive experience using a weight loss aide.

The risks aren't worth it to you. It was well worth it to me. I was offered WLS by my team of doctors and it was not worth the risk to me but it is worth the risk to MANY others who are morbidly obese. Unfortunately you don't get to decide what is and what isn't worth the risk for others. It sounds like you have control issues, to be frank. "Aids aren't necessary" for you but chose to use multiple.

I'm saying that it was the calorie deficit that caused weight loss whether or not you used the drug.
No, aides are not necessary for weight loss, period, because the only requirement to lose weight is a calorie deficit. How you get there is a choice, even it is to use a weight loss drug.
Choice and necessity are not equal.0 -

No, as to the bold part-those are tools that are not going to adversely affect your health.
Phen has side effects, some dangerous, for some people, and can result in death. I've never heard of logging, a scale or emotional support having side affects or leading to death.

Hey hey hey everyone! There is no need to get snappy we are all here for the same reasons, to lose weight and be healthy.
Everyone is going to have different experiences, different opinions, and its great to talk about it, but no one should jump down anyones throat who disagrees with them.
If you had a bad experience with phentermine, Im sorry and you can lose all the weight you want without it. If you had a good experience, like myself, then thats awesome because personally I found it helpful.
Do you need a pill to lose weight? No. Can you take the pill and not eat a deficit and lose weight? No.1 -

Snappy? Jumping down people's throats? That's not what I see, but some healthy debate going on. That's what these forums are for.
I disagree all are here for the same reasons you name above. There are plenty of people who come here looking for quick fixes and don't care whether health is part of the picture. I've seen these types of posts over and over.

Oh, my.....there's a bigger picture than one's perception of what is redundant and obvious.
It may be obvious to you, me and many others that phen does cause weight loss and that weight loss cannot happen without a calorie deficit. but I can tell you one thing after being on this forum for this long; there is an overflowing boatload of people who paddle through the forums with the belief that pills and products can lead to weight loss without eating at a calorie deficit, as if the pill or product has magic properties. Those are the people who need to read the information that you perceive as redundant and obvious.

I had a friend almost die from taking phen, she has a pig valve now. It has changed her life in every way possible. It is just too risky.0

I don't disagree that obesity is risky, and I also made no comments about any risk being higher than another. 0 -
I just wanted to pop in and say, I've read a few comments on here about the heart effects of "Phen". Don't get Phentermine/Adipex confused with Fen-Phen, which was a drug that was recalled in the 90s. This was a combination of Fenfluramine and Phentermine.
"Fenfluramine was marketed by American Home Products (later known as Wyeth) as Pondimin, but was shown to cause potentially fatal pulmonary hypertension and heart valve problems, which eventually led to its withdrawal and legal damages of over $13 billion.[1] Phentermine was not shown to have harmful effects."
Just wanted to clear that up for anyone who may get more misconceptions about Phentermine. If you've personally had heart problems from it, then I am sorry that happened. No drug is risk-free, but Phentermine by itself has had a pretty good track record since the 50s.3 -

Sure, untreated obesity is risky. But one doesn't need a weight loss drug to treat it.3 -

You misunderstand how regressions work and I don't really have an appetite to explain it. However, the simple summary is that cumulative risks accumulate proportional to their dose. Losing weight FASTER with a drug may be safer in aome circumstances than losing weight slower without it, even accepting the added inherent drug risk.
If you want an analogy: you don't NEED an escalator when you have stairs, and escalators are inherently dangerous too, but we justify their use routinely when there is a net benefit.3 -
I used it for one month. Worked great. However, the side effects were rather.... clogging to the digestive system, which got old really fast. When that month was up, I was very ready to get off that pill. It was enough time to get my appetite controlled and new habits started. I did not have rebound weight gain.3

Fortunately, I did not suffer from aliens, farting, heart attacks, or veganism. :P8

@queenliz99 So sorry for your friend. I hope she is doing well now with her new heart valve (yikes).
By any chance do you know if she was taking phentermine alone, or (more likely) the fen-phen combination? Because it is my understanding that the fenfluramine (which is now off the market) was the culprit in heart valve damage, not the phentermine.2 -

No, you are correct. It is definitely "curbed their appetite." I've seen it said a few times today, along with the ever present lose/loose :mad:

I took one pill a day for one month. It helped me stay in control while developing my new habits. That said, I have been checked out by a cardiologist so I had no safety concerns. The side effects did suck. I felt spastic, and I required laxatives. After that month I was very done with it and have not used or wanted it since. It did its job when I needed it and that was that lol.
hah, sorry, I see I already commented. My memory is very not excellent.

Right now I only take half a 37.5mg each day. I took a whole one from Jan. until May, when my mother passed away. I am taking it combined with some anxiety medication (both prescribed by the same doctor, under her supervision) and it's helping me function through my loss and keeping my appetite in control while getting back to old habits.
It is a tool. Like all prescriptions, it comes with side effects and risks. I will not be taking it my whole life.
