adipex...success stories??

I have taken adipex off an on during my weight loss journey, and it has worked very well for me, though I will be very honest, it was HARD for me to stop taking it. I did not regain any weight when I went off of the adipex, tho I did sleep for about 16 hrs a day for 2 weeks after I stopped taking it. (After taking it for several months.)

I would recommend doing this one bottle, enjoying the catalyst towards weight loss, higher energy, etc, and then not going back for a refill.

That is just the brand name for Phentermine. Long time ago I tried it. I didn't need to lose weight at the time but I thought I did. Its bad stuff. You will lose weight on it but as soon as the doctor stops prescribing it you will just gain the weight back. I couldn't sleep, got irritated real easy.

Good Luck

Does this have to be given by a prescription?? I found this http://www.myadipex.com/buy-phentramin-d.html, so I am not sure I need a script for this or I can just order here.... Comments/advice?

I won't lie, I was desperate before and ordered the online stuff and it is CRAP!! Don't waste your money. My friends who have taken adipex through a Dr have had good results. However, they said they had problems with sleep and dry mouth. I've read reviews that said you can go through withdrawls if you all of sudden stop taking them after being on them for awhile as well. Apparently, around my hometown it's what everyone is trying to get on or is on, all through a doctor.

The doctors where i live do not want to prescribe it, do you know of anyone or where i could get adipex?

Hi Liz!

I started taking Adipex P in January 2013 and so far I've lost 47 pounds! I started weight watchers online also, just to track my eating. I certainly experienced the same side effects as you. I was very anxious at times, I am typically a pretty impatient person to begin with, but the medicine made me even more short tempered. I can't tell you how happy I am on it though. My body did get used to it, but I found when I take the whole pill first thing in the AM maybe 15-30 mins before breakfast I have a much better reaction to it. I am sensitive to caffine and don't drink it at all, this medicine isn't like fat burners, it doesn't make you jittery per say. I am a total neat freak and organized person now because of the medicine. It changed my life completely. I started with adjusting my eating in the beginning, then incorporated excersize. When I started I was 235 pounds, I'm down to 190 now. When I notice my body isn't reacting to the medicine sometimes I'll skip a day to trick my body and that seems to work well. Once I started exercising the pounds started shedding off. I hope you have the same success I had, I swear by it!

Good luck!

My doctor prescribed Apidex-P just this week to me because I have a very large amount of weight to lose. She believes this will lower my blood pressure and I have lost 5 lbs since Wednesday eating between 1000-1500 calories. It doesn't make me jittery or moody. It gives me just a little more energy and stops my cravings in between meals. Hopefully it will work as long as she can prescribe it. We'll see!!

I too tried this. Took it for a couple months dec-feb and It definitely helped me get going. I've kept the scale moving down on my own after it too! I swear by this, if used correctly.

I'm on day 2 of adipex, I started it yesterday after my Dr.'s appointment. I did take my first pill at noon-ish--which gave me trouble trying to sleep. I have extreme dry mouth, but as others have stated it only encourages me to drink more water, which is a good thing! In just 1 day I lost 1.2lbs (probably water weight, I know--but nice to see a change on the scale!). Today, I took the medicine around 9am, I'm hoping it won't keep me up as bad tonight. Also I went for a walk/jog this morning and did some body weight exercises when I got back. I feel great! I have a long way to go and I want to get on a really good routine before going off of this medicine as I have read the many reports of instantly gaining weight back after stopping the pills. I think that happens to those who just stop eating and lose weight based on the appetite suppressant effect without trying to make other healthy changes, dramatically decreasing their actual metabolism. I'm doing the couch to 5k for a race I signed up for in late September. I need all the motivation I can get. I have failed so many times in the past--I'm ready this time.

Feels good to read these reviews. My doctor prescribed this for me. Before I start she wants a thyroid and heart ultrasound to make sure my heart can tolerate it. I look forward to it helping get on the right path and I will be going back to 1200 cals per a day not 1500. Before I do that I will be consulting my nutritionist first. I'm excited. I took meridia year ago before I got married and pregnant and it worked very well for me. Lost about 30 pounds on it. Can't wait until my ultrasounds on Wednesday and result Friday. Will keep you all posted!

First, I was on Adipex in the late summer of 2012 and lost 70 pounds over a two month period. My first week was 20 pounds, however I think that was water weight.

I am back on it as of today, and I can give some firm advice. Adipex is only half the battle. You have to WANT to change your eating habits, you have to stay away from garbage, and you need to eat. Stay away from coffee and other high caffeine liquids. I got sick on Adipex as I was drinking 2 cups a coffee a day and also not eating much.

Adipex can ONLY be prescribed. Anyone selling Adipex off counter is not to be trusted. You have no idea what you are taking. Also it does take getting used to. It can make you very angry over little things. However, I think over all it is a wonder drug. I disagree with its use for people who wants to lose 15 pounds etc... Sorry, Adipex is only for those with real weight issues.
