phentermine question

aabelein

I've been taking 30 mgs of phentermine for the last 3 weeks now. The first week I lost 6 pounds and the last two weeks I haven't lost 1. My doctor said to take it everyday but I had read that other people who were taking were told to take it for 5 days and then rest for 2. Do you think this could be the reason i'm not seeing any weight loss? Because I've been taking it everyday except for that first week. I forgot to take it Saturday and Sunday, but I have taken it everyday for the last 2 weeks. I haven't changed my exercise or my eating, its all the same. But I cant think of why this drug wont help me lose when I'm doing everything I need to be doing. Anybody have any ideas? Has anyone out here used this before and gotten the same results as me? Or did it work for you? Please help, because if this keeps up, I'm not going to take them any longer.....:indifferent:

I took them and lost several pounds a week (about 3 or so) for a couple months...as soon as I stopped I gained back. Best thing you can do is to eat right nutritionally if you can get off of those. I found that I was starving myself (wasn't a bit hungry) that's not the way to be healthier in my book. I've lost 84 pounds now without the help of a "miracle" drug or diet - changed what I eat and I exercise. feel better than I've ever felt.

Good luck!

I take a half a pill everyday to curb my hunger. I love phentermine, it keeps me on track with my calories. I don't know what I'd do without it....I am hungry a lot of the time.
