Wow, I just started taking this two days ago and I can say I don't get hungry, like at all!! I drink a protein shake in the morning and have to make myself eat a reasonable meal at dinner. This stuff is awesome!! Hopefully, by eating less I will start to loose some weight. Finger's crossed!! I don't really have any side effects on this so I am very happy about that.

I began taking this product on Thanksgiving 2012. I was pleasantly surprised at how fast and how well it worked. I was initially concerned that it would not work for me because I was, am, an emotional eater or would eat when I was bored. As I stated before I began I taking this product on Thanksgiving but still expected to eat, I just thought it would help me to not over eat. Too my surprise I had almost no desire to eat at all! Even with all the many delicious choices I just had no want to eat any of it. I actually had to force myself to eat so that my family would not ask questions, as they did not know that I had began taking any medication. The only side effect that I noticed was how thirsty I was. I couldn't seem to get drink enough water! From that day until the spring I lost approximately 20lbs. For me this product was a life changer and I couldn't be happier. I am currently pregnant with my second child so I have put weight back on for the right reason but I will no doubt use this product again in the future.

Ever since I was a teenager I have been overweight. No matter what diet I tried, no matter how much exercise I did, I could never lose the weight. Every diet pill I had tried either made me sick, made me shake, or just plain didn't work. Then I discovered Phentermine. I couldn't believe how well it worked. It curbs your appetite so well. I sometimes had to force myself to eat something because I was never hungry. It's a pill that I feel can be used for long term use. I've used it for 6-8 months at a time. The first week or two of taking it I literally lost 10lbs. The only downfall of this pill is as soon as I stop taking it I manage to gain weight back. I don't gain all of it if I don't over indulge in a ton of food though. Also, one of the best benefits of this pill is it also had an ingredient that my bi-polar medication had in it. I stopped taking my bi-polar medication and continued the Phentermine and I was really happy. Not only was I losing weight but I felt great emotionally too. This pill never gave me any noticeable side effects other than never being hungry. Felt no pain, no shaking, and no jitters.

This is the only product that I've ever used that actually helped me lose weight. It curbs your appetite and increases your energy level. The only drawback is insomnia, otherwise this product is excellent. Effectiveness Very effective! Side Effects The only side effect is insomnia.

I used to be 300 pounds and since using Adipex-P for a year I have dropped 100 pounds. I feel like a new person, and I am no longer ashamed to leave the house. The key to this medicine is Diet and Exercise. Your not going to loose the weight you want by only taking the medicine you have to cut back on carbs and exercise as well. Effectiveness When you take the medicine the first time you will notice immediate changes. My appetite decreased so much that at times I couldn't believe I wasn't hungry. Side Effects I am borderline diabetic so when taking this medicine I would sometimes get very shaky. When I feel that way I just grab something small like a few crackers to snack on and it usually goes away.

The last time I was on a weight loss pill was about a year ago. I reviewed it here on Viewpoints. I wanted to wait to review this one until my weigh in with the doctor today. I have had serious issues with losing weight before and there was only one pill that I could buy over the counter that helped and that eventually stopped working too. I talked to my doctor and she told me that as long I got my hypertension under control, she would put me on Adipex-P as long as I had regular check-ins with her. I agreed to this immediately, of course! I started on Adipex-P about four weeks ago. I was so good, even over Christmas. I did really well with portion control and I have been walking almost every day. Being on this medication was a definite bonus. It added that little bump I needed to start losing weight. I lost about nine pounds this last month and I am very happy about that. It is healthy weight loss and I am starting to feel better about myself already. It does give you a bit of a jittery feeling at first but I take the lowest dose recommended and that feeling subsided after a week. I have heard people complain that it does not work, however, you have to eat well and exercise. You have to change your eating habits drastically, especially if you eat as badly I as I used to eat. I recommend this to anyone who is serious about losing weight. Anyone looking for the "next big thing" in weight loss or something they think is a miracle pill that they can take and eat or do what they want need not apply.

Adipex has been a turning point in my life. I went on several diets, even SlimFast and only gained more weight from taking them! I had gotten to the place where I really hated myself for gaining so much weight. I started gaining when I started to go through menopause and I didn't know what else to do. I saw an ad in our local newspaper for a weight loss doctor and saw that she had hours that I could participate in, so I made myself an appointment. I started taking Adipex and the only side effect I had was not sleeping, so I just started taking it very early in the morning and it did help with the sleeping. My first week I lost 8 pounds and I just couldn't believe it, so that gave me the encouragement to keep going. A year later and I'm 80 pounds lighter! It has not only changed my life, it has changed the way people look at me. Effectiveness This is the only diet pill that I have ever taken that really worked. Side Effects The only side effect I had was it kept me awake at night, so I just started taking it early in the day. Then, no side effects.

All throughout highschool I was very fit. Swimming kept me slim and softball helped my muscle tone. Once graduation came, I still thought I was invincible to fatty foods. I was definitely wrong. The freshman 15 (15lbs expected to gain during the first year of college) turned into freshman 50. I couldn't believe my eyes when my scale read 230lbs. I was scared! I started small by working out at the gym but quickly hit a plateau. I asked my dr for some help in loosing all this weight. She thought that Adipex would help me. The first dose, I felt an immediate difference. I could go all day without eating if I wanted to. I had to constantly remind myself to snack something healthy to keep my metabolism going and at a healthy rate. I had tons of energy to go to the gym and then not be completely exhausted at work for the rest of the day. The pounds were coming off very quickly. I had lost 20 lbs in the fist 30 days. Effectiveness This is a very effective treatment to obesity. Side Effects I was never hungry and had to force myself to eat. This sometimes made me nauseous to the smell of food. I also had such a high heart rate that I would sweat all day. Was wonderful in the winter because it kept me warm. I also had to switch to decaf coffee to help with my heart rate and blood pressure.

I don't like diet pills that claim to have every benefit you can think of that would help you lose weight. I feel like this-if a diet pills that's safe for you and does all the things this pills claims to do and actually works is made, you would see it on every news channel across America. You are supposed to take two pills twice a day and its supposed to increase metabolism, reduce fat and appetite, burn fat, reduce hunger before meals and decrease fat in body. It just sounded too good to be true, and that's because it was. This pills did help to reduce my appetite, but it made me feel like I drank too much coffee. I can drink coffee a few times a day and probably get the same results, but drinking the coffee would be much cheaper! Side Effects You should start with only one pill and adjust the dosage from there to ensure you don't get jittery. I tried jumping right into taking four pills a day, and I got really jittery and had to cut back.

So I had tried every diet pill known to man when I decided I needed more help than the average person. I didn't need to loose but 40 lbs, not even that, so I made a trip to a general doctor who I knew would take me under his wing, do the required testing to see if I was a good candidate for phentermine. I had a full physical, my heart checked, blood drawn, and I was okayed to start taking this medication. I filled my first script, very excited about this medication, and I took the first pill and wow! I had a great deal of energy! This drug makes you feel great and want to go go and go. I had no appetite at all and never felt hungry at all. After taking a week my scale read that I was 10 lbs less than I originally weighed, I was so excited! But then I found myself wanting to take more than one pill a day, and one is what is prescribed, so I see where this medication can be abused. If you have a history of addiction, addictive personality, you may want to steer clear of this drug. I stopped taking after 2 months because I could see how easy I could abuse it. Then when you are left without taking it you don't have any energy at all! I had major mood swings and it made me ill and unpredictable which I had never been that way before. This drug will make you loose weight, but be cautious, it can easily be abused! Effectiveness Very effective, will decrease appetite short term and give you energy. I lost 25 lbs the 2 months I used this medication. Side Effects Can become addicted! Makes your heart race, body sweat, ill mood swings.
