Has anyone here used phenamine?

Your doctor would have those answers, I presume.

Insomnia doesn't go away that's a big part of the side effects of the medication. Try taking them as early in the am as possible. Drink plenty of water and although your not hungry.. Eat.. Even if it's carrots, apples, celery etc. the dizziness will go away. Good luck.

I have used them and honestly, they did work and the side effects are real. But take it from me that if you do not learn to eat better then once you stoptaking them you may gain the weight back plus more.

I took it in college when I gained 50 lbs after taking Zoloft. I don't remember having any side effects from it. I know it did suppress my appetite and I did end up losing weight pretty quickly, however, my main problem with Phentermine is that it does not teach you healthy habits or how hard weight loss really is. Yes, it suppresses your appetite, but what happens when you can't take it anymore as you are only supposed to be on it for 3 months? I tell you what happens, YOU GAIN THE WEIGHT BACK! I did and almost got right back up to where I was. I have another friend who took it last year and she lost a good amount of weight, but guess what, she has already gained 15 lbs of it back.
I know what it is like when you are desperate to lose weight and just don't know where to start, believe me. But if you keep having side effects that you cannot deal with, please stop taking it and lose weight on your own without the Phentermine because you CAN do it!! I know because I finally decided to lose weight for good and I wanted to do it on my own (no pills, no weight loss programs such as weight watchers, no gym or trainer as I work out at home or outside) and I have lost 60+ lbs since 2012. I am the thinnest I have ever been in my life. It is hard work but that is a good thing because you learn healthy habits, you learn that being hungry every once in awhile is not such a bad thing, and you learn how strong you can be and how amazing your willpower can be.

Sorry about all of that, just my 2 cents!

Yes as part of Phen-Fen many years ago. Very effective stimulant but as others have said without adapting your eating habits and developing better skills the weight is a vicious cycle. Obviously your doc feels they are of value to you now so please develp the skills you need for long term success. Best wishes, you CAN do this!

Ive taken phentermine 3 separate times in my life. Once before kids and was crazy successful. I lost 60 lbs, but I never drank soda, never red meat and I exercised almost every day. 11 years later (and 80 lbs) im back on. This is month 3 and im down 30lbs. I want to lose 100 total.. the side effects are different for everyone. Make sure you are drinking water like crazy and they will get less noticable the longer you take them. Exercise mama. even if it's sitting on the side of your bed. Just move. Youre gonna get there. Hope this helps!
