Phentermine: How long does it last?

by ImReallyScared, Feb 16, 2009 12:47PM

In my two pregnancies i gained A LOT!!!! (1st preg: 45lbs  &  my 2nd preg: 50lbs.  --im only 5 feet)
It took me over a year to lose all the weight after my first child. So after i had my 2nd child, i didn't want to wait that long.  i knew i couldn't do it on my own so i found a doctor to give me phentermine. I've been taking phentermine for about 6 months on & off.   I am now 114 lbs.  I have 10 more pounds to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight.

My QUESTION is...
Will i keep this weight off or will i eventually gain the weight back after i stop the phentermine?
I've never done this in the past so i don't know what i'll end up looking like in the long run.

(I've always been tiny & petite.  But my 2 pregnancies really messed me up.....but well worth it)
