Does phentermine NOT work for any of you?

[dencin]

First of all I am really enjoying all the info I am getting her as I do research on the HCG, B12, and KT's book (which I do have)

Now, I found a doc that will give me up to 2 B12 shots (1cc each, I think) per week. He also prescribed phentermine for me. First day I felt awesome an hour after the shot and taking my first pill. Tons of energy, happy , bright, alert, with it. I didnt think the B12 should work like that so fast so  I assumed it was a side effect of the phen. Second day, little less energy but still felt pretty good. Not much of an appetite . Day 3 (today...Happy Easter)I ate to much then ate pie and candy,dead tired and feel like ****....I need to mention I worked last 2 days, only 3-4 hrs sleep each night and have 5 kids, and got everything including dinner ready for easter..so I SHOULD be tired...lol.
I really feel like it didnt matter if I took the pill at all. I am surprised, I assumed since it was prescription I would have to force myself to eat anything. I guess they just dont work for me? I tried not to eat this stuff, I dont expect a pill to "do it all for me" but I thought I could get a few weeks of good appetite control at least.
Any one else like this? Should I ask for something different? They are 30 mg, yellow capsules.
Thanks

I take 37.5 tablets, and they work great.  After taking them for awhile they don't work as well.  So I just go off of them for a month and then start back.

I have been taking Phentermine for 5 weeks and have lost 25 pounds. Yes, you might want to try something else, although I would give it another chance.  I take 1 pill (37mg.) when I wake up and a 1/2 at 1:00.  My pills are white with blue spots.
Good Luck and keep us posted!

I took Phentramine (phentermine) and lost 30 pounds in 4 weeks.  Now, my doctor won't give them to me because I am on meds for Hypothyroid.  I would love to get back on them.  I felt so much better then than I do now.

Thanks for the replies. I did fine today. I think it was just all the food I cooked all day and all the candy everywhere.
