I started using Phentermine 37.5 MG about 2 weeks ago. I noticed the very first morning I took the medicine that all of a sudden I had no appetite all day long, even when it had been several hours since I had eaten anything. And after a bite or two of food when I did try to eat, I realized that I really was not hungry. The second morning was similar and suppressed my appetite for the whole day, but after a few more days of taking the medicine my appetite returned somewhat, but still much less than before I began the medicine. I was ecstatic when I unexpectedly lost nine pounds in about seven days, but the last ten days or so I have not lost any more weight, and in fact have even gained back some of those nine pounds. I have been disappointed that the weight loss seems to have stopped and am wondering whether I have already reached my plateau after only taking the medicine for less than three weeks.
The worst side effect in my opinion is the extremely dry mouth that i have been having, but I started chewing gum and this seems to help somewhat.
Also, I am worried that perhaps nine pounds is all that I may be able to lose on this medicine, and I after losing the first nine so quickly I may have gotten my expectations too high.
