I really think you mean which. I've heard a lot of people say Meridia didn't work for them, but I lost 26 pounds in 4 months taking it. That was a couple years ago. I have gained back about 10 pounds. Darn!

I don't know what the situation is in your area with doctors, clinics, and so forth, but I can get phentermine a lot easier and cheaper where I am. I have tried them both with about the same results, although if I had to say I think I would say phentermine is working a little quicker. Meridia was over $100 per month while the phentermine is about $5-$7 per week. I take B-12/hcg shots too, but I have lost 15 lbs in about six weeks.

awe geez I misspelled which twice. LOL

Thanks for the responce can you tell me where you get your phentermine for $5-$7 I found a clinic that will perscribe it for $75 a month.

by kk2, Aug 16, 2006 12:00AM

well I guess I should clarify that was not counting the doctor. I pay the doctor $10 per week for the shot plus prescription then get the pills from the pharmacy. So its around 60 - 70 per month altogether.

Thanks kk2 my doc perscribed me xanical I have been on it for about 3 weeks with no weight loss. :O( I am going to call him for some phentermine on Monday I hope it works. He is not a diet doctor he is my OB I wonder if he would give me the b-12 shots. I know I recevied them when I was pg with morning sickness.

my sister receives B-12 shots from her regular family doctor. But I go to a weight loss clinic and get a B-12/ hcg combo shot. You could google weight loss centers or bariatric doctors in your area or I have heard you can order the hcg injections online and do them yourself. They work really well; I have lost nineteen lbs so far this summer. good luck

I am taking the vitamin shot twice a week and one phentermine pill a day I have been on this program for a month and lost 21 pounds. I am so full of energy. I love it. I still have like 54 pounds to go. I know I will do it.
