Taken Phentermine? No critics, please. Looking for experiences of those who have taken it

Taken it, never again. Lost weight and then put it all back on plus some when i stopped taking it. It reduces your appetite (obviously) so you eat less calories... ive managed, with hard work, continuity and a real determination to lose weight, to reduce calorie intake without any drugs, fad diets or food restrictions. MFP has been the ONLY way ive lost weight and kept it off. CICO every single time. Good luck
Me too. I hope when I get off of it I can continue charting what I eat on here. Truly, that is what has helped me the most too.1 -

My doctor kept me on it as long as I wanted. After about 10 months I thought it wasn't working. I didn't lose weight, but I didn't gain. So I quit taking it. And pow, I started gaining weight back like everyone else says.
Right-but you also said you stopped logging and keeping track of everything. Every time someone says they gained the weight back it was because they weren’t eating right, or not eating enough. Everyone thinks you can take it and just not eat, and that’s not how it works. I am on the max dose(37.5mg). It may stop working, but that doesn’t mean I’ll stop logging and watching what I eat. I was tracking long before I joined MFP, just did it manually. My issue was that since I got diagnosed two years ago I can’t function. Always have brain fog, always exhausted. I had to fight to get to the gym at least three times a week. I crashed my car because of the tiredness and the fogginess. I had enough. My thyroid is exactly where it needs to be, and my other issues are under control. I do attribute some of the issue to the medication I take, but if I dont take it I’m in bigger trouble. I have felt so much better the last couple weeks. Yes, losing weight is a bonus because I have been busting my *kitten* for over a year with hardly any result, but me feeling alive again is much more beneficial. So finding something to transition to that’s safer long term after the Phentermine will be a little tricky, but I think it’s worth it.
I was so wrong to stop tracking food. Good you will be doing it. Maybe we can support each other in the effort. I thought I would too. After over a year of tracking food, I got tired of it. Big mistake.2 -
I have taken it and will never recommend it. If you want my story from it, feel free to message me (although you may have to friend me first as messages from non-friends are not going through).
I have permanent problems from taking it that started at the age of 30.
Pills are never a permanent solution for weight loss. Everyone I know that has ever done diet pills, hcg, etc have all gained it back.10 -

Yeah, I hear you on it not being a permanent solution. It would be nice if there was a magic bullet! Do you mind telling us your story? It is awful that you still have problems. Sharing that may help some of us.1 -

Short version...
I took off and on several times. The last time I did not realize I was not eating at all. I do not remember the dosage I was on, but I was never hungry. I felt great. Instead of being moody like others I knew on it, it made me happy and very outgoing.
One time after not eating for 2 days, plus my period starting I had to decide take Midol or the phentermine. (I tried not having caffeine when I took the phentermine) Well, my cramps won out and I took the Midol, only I forgot i did and took the phentermine as well. My body had a very negative reaction with the phentermine and the caffeine and diuretic in the Midol. I ended up in the ER thinking I was having a heart attack-chest pain, arm pain, etc.. Dr. immediately took me off and told me to never take again.
Because of whatever reaction I had, I can no longer have caffeine, inhaled steroids (albuterol etc), any kind of stimulant, birth control, etc.. Imagine no caffeine, imagine getting sick and not being able to take a decongestant.... Yah, it pretty much sucks. Even 10 mg of caffeine causes chest pain, heart palpitations, and really bad anxiety attacks. I had high blood pressure for a while after taking it as well, where I never had those problems before.21 -

This is a contradiction.
The thing that you are going to do to maintain......is look for a permanent prescription, a permanent crutch. Because after you have lost the weight, a smaller you will require fewer calories forever.
Without a permanent prescription it will be up to you to learn how to "not feel hungry all the time." Without a permanent prescription it will be up to you to work through the "no energy, exhausted all the time" feelings.
Most people gain weight back......whether it's pills, meal replacements, or temporary elimination diets. We all have to learn new habits and keep those habits for life. It's always going to come down to behavior modification. Temporary approaches don't exactly foster that.
Not necessarily. It may be another issue entirely that causes the exhaustion, and incidentally exacerbates lower will power due to exhaustion. In my case, I have low level narcolepsy and fibromyalgia. Diagnosing and treating those helped with the brain fog and exhaustion, which has helped me regulate my eating better. The phentarmine could be having a similar effect, even though it is meant for weight loss specifically, because it does increase energy, but the long term side effects are not great. However, getting diagnosed and treated for the real reason for her specific brain fog and exhaustion issues, may help her heal enough get the energy and strength to stick with healthier choices.3 -

As someone else who has several autoimmune conditions (celiac disease, hashimoto's, psoriatic arthritis, and fibromyalgia), I'd just like add a little insight on how I manage brain fog and exhaustion and hope this can help. It also helps regulate my appetite.
My secret? Frequent activity. I built up to it very gradually. I was completely sedentary. I used to be so plagued with exhaustion that a trip to the mall with the family would land me in bed. I needed a cane to walk. I took things very slowly.
I started out walking to the corner. And I went out again the next day, and then the next. Gradually I worked my way up to longer distances. The longest I've walked at once was 8 miles. The longest I've run was 4.5.
A funny thing happens when you live with fatigue and start trying to become more active but just in tiny, tiny increments. It actually improves your energy levels. And for some people, it helps suppress appetite too.
I know what it's like to feel horrible and think you possibly couldn't do things, because that was me at one time. Trust yourself for a five minute stroll. You're worth it. It *will* help.36 -
I took it along with Topamax from a local quack diet center a several years ago.... long before I got wise to MFP. It was the most miserable month of my life, I had dry mouth so bad I could barely stand it, which also gave me bad breath. I remember trying to do a Zumba class and I could not quench my thirst.
I did lose around 4 pounds that month, but I gained it all back. Now I know I can lose that much without drugs and misery I’d never take it again.5 -
I honestly cant even remember if i lost weight while i was taking phentermine. The whole time is just a foggy memory
It completely changed my personality.
I cried at the drop of a hat.
I was moody and depressed.
I was lucky to get a couple of hours of sleep a night, even when i took the pill at 4am.
I got incredibly constipated.
I had a dental appointment while i was on it, and my dentist was gobsmacked at how dry my mouth was, even though i drank copious amounts of water. She warned me that if i continued that i should expect tooth loss.
Driving my car was like playing Russian Roulette every day. My concentration and just general awareness was down the toilet.
And the final straw came when my husband made me choose between him and the phentermine..
If i remember correctly i think i only had about 10kgs to lose, my doctor should never have prescribed it in the first place. I was lazy and didnt want to put in the work, i just wanted a quick and easy way to lose weight, that ever elusive magic pill...

My husband was on it and he had really bad brain fog. Plus he doctor didn’t tell him the long term effects of it and decided to stop taking it and he gained some weight back. He wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. Such a horrible drug.0

pills don't work, try KETO, high fat low carb., never hungry, feel soo good, and healthy/ check out you tube a lot of Doctors recommend this way of life.51

So it was still surpressing your appetite after all. You just didn't do what it was made for. It was made as a aid to lower your appetite while learning portion control and counting calories. Being on it so long the effects were more mental as most studies say after 12 weeks of continual usage the drug will lose its potency and effectiveness. Same as gastric a large percentage also regain a lot of the weight cause they didn't use the time during and after to learn to eat better.
I was on Phentermine twice once typical outcome. Lost 30 in a little over a month stopped regained. Second time I started counting calories and learning what a portion really looked like the weight stayed off and I am still loosing thanks to MFP and my desire to change my life.
I am not trying to be mean, but some medications wether weight loss or anything really is not a cure all. Lifestyle changes make the difference. Could be a small one like the doctor lowering your HBP medications cause you are doing the right things.
I had diabetes type two. Over time my numbers got better less medication was needed and now no medications are needed. Although I still check it daily.10 -

I was working with a doctor/nutritionist once a month. I learned to eat good foods and get to a healthy weight. Once I got into maintenance I slowly started eating a little junk food. Gradually over four years it turned into drinking a lot of wine, like I did before I started taking Phen. I paid no attention to what I ate. More junk food. Less healthy food. Big quantities. I wish I knew why my basic instinct is to overeat. Should I see a counselor?0

I would try to stay true too logging your foods here. If you're unable to do that maybe talking with someone could help. You probably hit that comfort zone and that little voice said " I will never be that big again"
This happened over a 4 year period. I would recommend a counselor if it was to happen within say 6 months to a year. You just got lazy happens too the best of us.
You did it once you can do it again. This time you are more aware of what can happen when you finally get to maintenance and how important it is to remember what you know.4 -

Thanks. I did gain a lot recently. 20 pounds since my daughter's wedding in May. Maybe I should change my profile picture to what I look like now. That's what I looked like at my thinnest.

I am on it 30mg once a day. I would like it to be twice as I get super hungry after workouts in the evenings. It does help with appetite suppression. This is not the 1970’s version of the drug. I do not have heart palpitations or any other issues. I have to call and get a new prescription every month as it is a regulated drug. My biggest issue is logging in and staying true to my goal. I have recently switched to low carb but got off track with so many people saying don’t worry about the calories just the carbs. This is not true and I knew it. I just needed to test it; fail. So back to calorie counter and lower carbs.

If you're getting hungry after workouts, maybe that's a sign to eat back some of your exercise calories. You're going to have to figure out how to manage your appetite on your own eventually.9 -

I've lost 43 pounds with it. Been off it for 2 months almost 3 and haven't gained any back. It took the edge off my SEVERE binge eating disorder i was diagnosed with so i could reteach myself how to properly eat. Its a tool and if you dont take the time you are on it to learn better habits you will gain the weight back. The hunger does come back, but having a plan helps.10

I tried it many years ago. Lost a few pounds then gained it all back when I went off it. I didn't learn anything so the weight loss was temporary. I spent my entire adult life trying to find the magic fix. I spent thousands of dollars on each weight loss effort. Finally came here and started losing slowly. I've made it to maintenance and feel I can live this lifestyle for life. It's your choice but I would say that the chances of permanent weight loss with the drug is unlikely. Good luck.5

It sounds like many people only take it for a month and then go back to old habits. The medication is a tool, not a magic potion. I took it for a long time, learned the habits of measuring/weighing my food, making healthier choices, and working out 5-6 times per week. I've lost a lot of weight and intend to keep it off by continuing with the healthy habits that Phen helped me acquire.6

That's the way to do it! It's heartening to see you could keep up the healthy habits. Did you log your food?
My plan is to do what you are doing. I lost 50 pounds the first time. This time I want to keep up the healthy eating and exervise. My doctor asked me why I ended up on a one year binge, or whatever you would call it, where I just made terrible choices of food. And gave up on Zumba and workouts. I told him I honestly didn't know why. I think I need to figure that out before I stop taking Phentermine.. My goal is to do what you did. Learn healthy eating and habits, and keep it going.0 -

My problem is when I stop logging food, I go downhill. Whether I am taking Phentermine or not. . After a year of logging my food, I really got resentful of it. I guess I will always have to log my food!
What's your experience?
It worked to help me lose 60 lbs very quickly and i could hardly eat but I did end up fainting which really freaked me out. I fell outside walking at the end of our stairs and hurt my knees. I logged and exercises and pretty much kept the weight off.0 -

If effects people differently. Forgetting to eat is one. Heart palpitations is another, my worse side was cotton mouth.0
