Phetermine weight loss prescription

I started taking it on April 29th. The first week was great. I wasn't hungry at all and had to force myself to eat 1200 calories. I did not exercise this week at all, I just gave my body a chance to get used to the medicine. The only side affect I experienced was dry mouth. My mouth was so dry that I started drinking water as it was the only thing that would help. I was only drinking coke ( a severe addiction ) so dropping that cold turkey and switching to water was amazing. I dropped 7 pounds. The second week I noticed that I could eat without feeling so full. I also started incorporating some 1-hour walks about 3 days a week.Then I stopped taking them the third week because I had a sinus infection and didn't want to mix phentermine with the OTC drugs I was taking. When I got back on them in the fourth week, I noticed they didn't do much and I didn't feel any different so I thought I'd stop taking them and see if I noticed a change. I continued my walks and counting my calories with MFP and even though my calories increased (average of 1500 a day) I was still losing. I started T25 at week #5 and three weeks later I'm still losing and haven't taken the drug. That's a total of 16 pounds in 7 weeks, only three of which were on Phentermine.

A lot of people said they experienced headaches, troubles sleeping, neurological problems and having extra energy but I didn't experience any other side affect other than dry mouth during the first week which ended up unlocking a key to my weightloss success in that I've completely replaced coke with water. I don't think I would have done it without phentermine. Otherwise I would have continued to drink and tell myself it was ok as long as I included it in my calorie count. So for me, it was great because I used it as a jumpstart and that worked for me. I still have some pills that I haven't taken that I might use for special events when I know I won't be as in control of my diet like usual for holidays and things like that to help curb overeating or for when I hit a plateau I might take one. But I can say that phentermine was the best thing I've done. I think too, it was a mental thing. When I knew I was taking the pill, I was excited because I knew I would see results. Because I saw results, I stayed on track with calorie counting because I knew that I had the pill helping me. When I saw that I could do it without the pill, it's kept me motivated to continue. And I know it can work so having them as a safety net helps keep me going.

My doctor prescribed them to me many years ago. I had been taking them for a week when my boss kindly explained to me that I was as jittery as a cat on a hot tin roof with the energy of the energiser bunny. Then she asked me what drugs I was taking as she suspected I was using speed lol. Oops
I think at the time I didn’t utilise them correctly as I gained the weight back and a little extra as well.
They work wonders as a jumpstart and I reckon they might help to motivate with exercise as well.
Drink plenty of water and start weighing and logging your foods and counting your calories. This way when you’ve finished the set course prescribed by your gp, you should be right to continue with the logging and should hopefully continue to lose weight
Good luck op!!!!

Worst thing ever for me it made my weight spiral out of control I gain so much weight .
