Hey, 28 y/o man (& married) looking for new friends to do this journey with. Down 100 pounds since last Saturday looking to loose another 60+ pounds. A pill prescribed to me from my doctor called phentermine is my answer to hunger pains and it works great. Anyone also looking for a new friend, shoot me a friend request

    Hello! I am also taking phentermine to calm my hunger. I just started, however, and need over 100 lbs. My journey just began. Good luck!

    My dr just prescribed my Phentermine and I am a bit nervous about it. I have done a bit of research and am looking for some personal input from those who have taken it, primarily side effects.

    My wife was on it before me and her side effects were often dry mouth and falling asleep at night is difficult. Also in the beginning it may make you go #2 more then usual. I only get dry mouth sometimes when exercising and every now and then its more difficult to fall asleep. I never had the restroom issue. Overall the pros outweigh the cons.

    Hey! I just started phentermine a week and a half ago and am down 5 lbs. I have lost 72 lbs the last 2 years after having my third(and last!)baby. I hit a plateau about 6 months ago and needed a little help so I made an appt and was prescribed phentermine. I have about 40 lbs left to lose. I just joined fitness pal so looking for friends too! :)

    Im taking topamax and phentermine to help me lose weight. I have taken them in the past and lost weight but never together. Phentermine helped me lose 100 pounds before. So far I have lost 6.1 lbs in 5 days. The topamax helps me as food just doesn't taste very good and the phentermine helps me not feel hungry. Im looking for friends too! Add me!

    My friend introduced me to phentermine. I was very nervous about taking it. I read so much about it for probably a month before I decided to take it. It also helped that my friend had experience and told me what to expect. The first few days I did feel a bit "off", but my body adjusted quickly. Just make sure you drink a lot of water. I did have some dry mouth the first couple of months but it eventually subsided. I kept mints on hand for that. I haven't had much trouble sleeping. However, I won't take it past a certain time. So if I miss it that day than so be it. The other side effect that I noticed were headaches. That didn't happen until I was changed to the 37.5 mg pill. I don't get them anymore though.

    I started taking Phentermine about 1 year ago. I have lost 45 pounds. Sometimes I will go a few weeks without it just to prove to myself that I don't NEED it to maintain my weight. I want to lose another 30-40 pounds (which is why I am still taking it).

    I work out and I eat healthy. It won't work and you will gain all the weight back if you don't want to make a lifestyle change. I hardly eat any carbs anymore (side note: Trader Joe's has an awesome sprouted grain bread that is only 7 carbs per slice) and I very rarely eat anything after 8pm.

    Good luck! I hope it works as well for you!
