Has anyone tried/ or is anyone using PHENTERMINE? - Obesity Message Board

Has anyone tried phentermine? For how long? I just ordered some and I was wondering how long it took you to lose weight, and how much weight.
I am hoping that I will see success this time!
Thanks in advance.

Hi Sarah, yes I am on fastin which is phentermine. I got it from my doctor, I take one a day and it's 15 mg. How did you order it without a prescription and what was the cost? I pay $36.00 a month. Yes, it works! I have been on it before and lost 50 pounds but I have FMS and my doctor had me try different pain medications which put the weight back on me. Now I stopped the pain meds that were causing me to gain weight and she has me on Fastin again, I have been on it for a week and a half and lost 7 pounds so far. If you have high blood pressure be very careful with this drug, if you feel shaky, dizzy or your heart is beating fast cut your dose in half. But make sure your blood pressure doesn't go up. I have always had a low blood pressure so it isn't a problem for me. Let me know how it does for you and Good Luck, Rose

I was on that like 3 years ago and I did lose weight. I lost 40 lbs in two months, but I was also walking 3 miles a day. I have been wanting to go back on it, but we have moved and I can't find a doctor here that can give it to me. I have high blood pressure so I have to be monitored by a doctor while I am on it. Hope this helps you!

Thank you for your experiences. I just started today, and did not experience any negative side effects. I have always had low blood pressure as well, it should be fine. I am taking 30mg a day. I got them on SafeWebMedical, but I think i will order from a Canadian company nexy time, as it cost me 70 dollars.
I am on a low calories diet, and I exercise daily for about 30 mins. I hope to see results soon.
I know drugs are not the answer, but in my unhappiness with my weight, it is something that I am relying on right now.
Thanks again for your thoughts,
~Sarah

Dabbamac, how have you been doing? I am going to the doctor next week to ask for Phentermine (cheaper that way). I took Phen a couple years ago along with Fen and just stopped taking both when Fen was pulled from the market. I would be extremely happy to lose the 40 lbs. I gained from being on antidepressants.
