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.

The only side effect that i have is dry mouth. I am very happy on this pill until someone makes me upset and then i get really angry and its hard for me to get back to being happy. I have alot more energy and patience.
I go to the doctor in 2 weeks and im pretty sure i will go back for a refill.

It makes you get and stay really angry?? And you're okay with this?? I'm sure your child will be affected by this:(

I have been taking Adipex (Phentermine 37.5mg) for 3 days now and I've lost 14lbs!!! I'm 5'8 and I weighed 252lbs! THE BIGGEST I'VE EVER BEEN!!! Before I got pregnant with my daughter, I was 170lbs. I wasnt skinny or fat......but I was comfortable with my size. When I got to my 9th month in my pregnancy, I was 240lbs! After I gave birth, I weighed 220lbs and lost another 20lbs on my own. After 5 years of taking diet pills, buying gym memberships, starving myself, I almost gave up. I just turned 25 a couple of weeks ago and I made goals before I turn 30. My main was to have another baby. But I want to be healthy weight in order to conceive.


So my co-worker told me about Adipex, and she told me that I will lose a lot of weight in a short period of time. She got hers online, and I didnt feel comfortable purchasing meds online. So I went to my doctor and I asked her if she could prescribe it to me. She prescribed a month supply of Phentermine 37.5mg. I take it every morning as soon as I wake up. Then 30mins later i'll take a Vitamin B12. Its gives me a BURST OF ENERGY!!! My doctor did tell me that this med does suppress your appetite to the point you will forget to eat. I always told myself not to eat unless your hungry. These past few days, Ive only eaten a bowl of cereal, handful of grapes or nothing at all. I know thats not healthy but Its hard when you dont have an appetite. The only side effects I been experiencing is dry mouth, headaches and constipation.


But other than that..... Im now at 238lbs. I've lost 14lbs! Im only going to take this med until I reach my goal. I only recommend this medication to people who are at least 30lbs or more overweight because you will lose a lot of weight!!! Also remember this medication is an narcotic. So when you decide to take this specific take a med, get a doctor's order first!

I just started it myself on Saturday. So far, so good.

I see a lot of post that say once your off adipex you gain it all back and I believe what they mean to say is you can gain it all back the medication is to help you change your current life style I was prescribed adipex in april of 2012 I was on it for three months in that time I lost 55lbs I won't lie I did gain some back mainly because I slipped back into my old habits out of 55 lbs I gained back 20lbs. Thats why they say over and over its not a miracle drug once your off its on you. Im still proud of my results and would do it all over again if needed.

I went to my doctor in desperation because I have REALLY bad plantar fasciitis in both of my feet. I had surgery on my right foot and it improved about 70% but now I'm developing tarsal tunnel in that ankle which is a complication from surgery. I am so miserable when I wake up in the mornings. Stretching, icing, etc helps but after 10 years it all seems like a lost hope.

I love going to the gym, and when I tried to switch it up one day by doing day 1 of couch to 5k, I was crippled for days. I have done everything known to help my feet, and losing weight is the only thing left to do. I went to my doctor and he put me on adipex on 9/23 and I'm down 13 pounds as of today. So far I haven't experienced dry mouth, but I drink about 64-96 ounces of water a day at work. I do patient transportation at the hospital, so according to my pedometer, I walk about 4-7 miles a day. And I'm pushing huge beds that do have motors in them, but it still requires some muscle to push them around corners, maneuver them on elevators, etc, and also pushing patients in wheel chairs, and the average weight is around 220 pounds, with the most I've ever pushed was 460 pounds in a wheelchair.

If I pay attention I can feel my heart sorta pound, but I move so much that I don't notice it. I take it as soon as I wake up (5:00am) and it has helped me control my appetite. I sometimes still feel a little hungry, but it's totally controllable. I also feel like my blood sugar is more stabilized, which is what I struggled with before. My blood pressure has always been in a normal range and it doesn't seem to be affected. I have noticed some headaches.

I would advice to take it and avoid caffeine at all costs until you know how it will affect your body. I used to drink a double shot of my Advocare Spark every morning, and I quit when I started the medicine.... however I'll drink a single serving around noon-1pm to kick start my alertness again.
