Phentermine - Adepix P

dude just eat right and exercise. think of it this way: even if you lose all that weight with the pill, how will you maintain your new weight? will you take the pill forever? no, you'll have to exercise and eat right, like you should've been doing to lose weight in the first place. it's a skill, not a hard one, but still you need to LEARN a new lifestyle. you might as well learn to do that properly while you lose weight.

ditch those and take raspberry ketones instead. or green coffee bean extract. or methamphetamine.

I took it years ago for fatigue. It was a nightmare. It made me compulsive. I could not sit down or be still even though I was exhausted and I often found myself vacuuming at 2 a.m. and similar things. I had to force myself to eat and nothing tasted good.

Please be very careful with this drug and make sure to check in regularly with your doctor. Also make sure you're taking in enough calories.

In 2012, I took them. They did work and I lost 30 lbs. But when I stopped taking them I gained slowly my weight back. But part of that was not eating correctly. However, I have now lost that 30 +5 more I feel the right way. I have followed MFP on the calories end, made adjustments to my macros, exercise and I am losing! I encourage u not to take them. I also had withdrawals when I went off of them like sleep problems and headaches. Whatever u decide....I hope u have a great weight loss journey. Ignore rude comments.....there are a lot of people on here that do not know how to be kind and answer questions.

Ha! Did I call it or what?

Phish. Not everyone experiences terrible side effects nor gains back the weight after using Phen. But anyone who would come on MFP and say so would have to be crazy to put up with the ridicule and self righteousness of some on this board. And I am not saying anyone who posted here. This is not the place to get support for using Phen.

I had tried phentermine last year, I did lose about 15 pounds. I have since then gained it back and am now trying to do it the old fashioned way. Phentermine took about 3 days to really start kicking in however my doctor started me out cutting them in half for the first 2 days. I was really off the wall energetic, not hungry at all. I most likely was giving off adult ADHD vibes to people and I do not have ADHD, I was just very off the wall hyped up.

IGNORE THE HATERS.

Phentermine worked for me.


In June 2013, my physician started me on a medically supervised 1200 calorie weight loss program. I took Phentermine for appetite suppressant in the morning, visited his office once each week for a B-complex shot, and got an In-Body analysis each month.

The Physician's Assistant suggested I try MyFitnessPal to go along with my 1200 calorie diet, and I am quite pleased that he did. This has been a great way to track my food -- I tried hand writing my own tracker but it was a disaster.

For the first month, I took 18.5 mg phentermine each morning, and found myself consuming around 1450 calories. The appetite suppressant gave me the control to avoid cravings and start making choices about my food. However, I did not start learning seriously until the second month.

For the second and third months, I took 37mg phentermine, and regularly hit my goal of 1200 calories. I started learning how to eat at 1200 calories because it is not just about eating less of the same stuff as before; it is also about hitting my macro targets. I started walking in the second month, and increased that in the third month until I was walking 5k several times per week. I regularly hit my macro targets, and started eating back my exercise calories.

For the fourth month, I started tapering the Phentermine back to 18.5 mg, and I shifted my calorie goal to 1600. Since I burn around 300-500 each day in exercise, I simply quit viewing it as eating back my exercise calories and started seeing it as the appropriate caloric intake for my activity level. That helps me avoid coming to the end of a day, being starving after working out, and eating whatever is handy. Eating 1200 plus eating back exercise calories always meant that I was hungry in the evening and eating whatever was handy to cover my exercise calories. Eating 1600 and not worrying about exercise calories lets me have more control over the day and over the week.

For the fifth month, I tapered my phentermine down to 9.75mg (1/4 pill), with the goal of stopping the appetite suppressant entirely. I maintained my target of 1600 calories, although the colder weather made it a little harder to get my exercise.

For the past 7 weeks, I have been completely off the Phentermine and I continue to make progress. I am still losing around 1 pound per week. My food choices are much better because the drug allowed me the time to learn. I cannot imagine people being able to learn about food and choices without having the support of the suppressant. I guess that's why most people who do it on their own end up failing and gaining back all of the weight. They never learned what was necessary because they were always struggling with their choices.

I have made steady progress each month. The appetite suppressant gave me the ability to make choices and learn about food. As I have learned more, I have been able to rely less on the pills. Now I don't take them at all but I continue to use what I learned.

Phentermine stops the cravings so you can learn how to make choices.

PCOS, asthma, and your doctor gave you speed? I suggest getting a new doctor.

I have not taken any diet pills, but also have pcos. My symptoms are 75% gone now. I stick with a low sugar and lower carb (less than 100 grams per day). I also avoid highly processed foods like bread rice, pasra, cereal and all fruit juice. Pcos is because of high insulin production. Simple carbs will exacerbate the problem. Have you tried tweaking your protein/fat/carb percentages? I am at 35/35/30 and is working just fine. 60 lbs in 6 months with little exercise.

dude just eat right and exercise. think of it this way: even if you lose all that weight with the pill, how will you maintain your new weight? will you take the pill forever? no, you'll have to exercise and eat right, like you should've been doing to lose weight in the first place. it's a skill, not a hard one, but still you need to LEARN a new lifestyle. you might as well learn to do that properly while you lose weight.

First, I'm a woman not a dude. Secondly, I have two medical conditions that would benefit greatly from weight loss (PCOS and asthma). I lost the weight that I did lose (the 22 pounds) in 2012. I have been under close supervision of a medical doctor (because of the asthma) and dieting/ exercising and nothing was working. The prescription is a start not a "forever".

BACK TO THE ORIGINAL QUESTION!

The medical conditions can be treated by changing WHAT you eat. True story. Obesity is a correlation with other metabolic issues, not the cause. Your doctor is likely not educated in nutrition, or metabolic disorders, and likely has no business treating it. See a metabolic specialist.

You asked a question and people are not always going to give you the answer you like. Drugs, especially for weight loss, suck, they are not a solution, and they can even kill you. Changing your lifestyle is much safer. Not as quick, but safer and more effective over the long term. Good luck.

I have been on it before and I did lose weight with it. The doctor that gave me the pills advised me it was only to get me started. That I would need to stay at around 1200 calories and make sure I exercise. You have to remember to eat healthy. The pills sometimes made me not hungry at all and could go all day without eating, but that is not good, you need to make sure you eat. You do not want to go into starvation mode. I lost 10 pounds a month or 2 months that I was on the pills, but instead of keeping my low carb low cal diet once I was finished taking pills, I went back to eating sweets which is my addiction and I gained it back and then some.


I am not a doctor or work in the medical industry, but I will say that in my opinion, if you plan to use these pills, please start watching your diet and do exercise daily. By the time you are finished taking pills in 2 or 3 months you will be used to eating less and hopefully adopted a healthy diet and a exercise regimen.

Good luck to you!

I will answer that for you. I have taken Phentermine, prescription strength because, like you, I have PCOS and nothing would help me lose weight. I did find Metformin helpful for a while though at maintaining my weight. . I didn't find Phentermine effective at all. It didn't change any of my cravings, but I did have a bit of the jitteriness that most diet medicines have. Unfortunately, through many years of diet meds, as well as with the bypass, I developed non-alcoholic fatty liver. I would be careful of the side effects. It's really hard to have an illness that affects your weight, but many people do. There are a number of PCOS support sites out there. I would suggest that you review the information about the phentermine on different sites to get the skinny on all of it. Having done all the diet meds, as well as weight loss surgery, I decided to just try to eat differently and exercise for a bit. I would love to cheer you on if you need a friend.
