I have a quick question: I have been on phentermine for two weeks and I want to stop now. I lost a little over 5lbs I guess.

If you are/were a phetermine user do you think I would experience withdrawals that are like dramatic or harmful? Im only on the 30mg ones. I dont want to take them anymore, starting tomorrow.

I keep reading all these boards about people going crazy and having emotional breakdowns and gaining weight afterwards etc etc

I knew when I started this, it wasnt gonna be a miracle...I just needed a little push ya know?

but if the experience is that "extreme" or the end "results" are so "devasting" and life changing or what not. Then it isnt worth it to me...like foreal.

Sooo yo am I like gonna die tomorrow if i stop or something? smh


Thanks!

    Can wean off of them? Break them in half?

    I was on this stuff for about a week. Felt jittery and weird. One day at work I swear I could have been like spiderman and climbed the walls. Even taking half was still bad. Don't take it. Long term use is not good for your heart and I have read not so good stories.

    Like any other drug, people will react differently. And especially if it staved off hunger, then you get off and end up eating more and gaining weight, it's very easy for people to justify going back on it. That's why I don't believe people should bother with it if they only have a less than 80lbs to lose.

    Seriously use MFP, count your calories. I have tried everything and this is the only thing that works. Add me if you would like.
