Totally Failed

I had five days under my belt then the weekend came, my body was still hurting and I caved. I took a 4 or 5 phentermine yesterday I feel like such a loser.  I think I will try tappering off them I don't think I can handle another week like this past one.

last week i stopped taking my usual 15  30mg roxicete ..i stopped for 3 days before caving in and taking a few..i am too busy of a person to go ct again so i think the taper method will work better ...u should try an make a plan on paper and stick to it...like now i am only taking 5 a day...by tuesday i should be at 3 or 4 only....anyway don't be hard on yourself, this is an awful thing that has its hold on many many people...u are not alone...good luck

Sorry you relapsed but I'm confused. You used Phentermine for pain???Phentermine is a synthetic amphetamine. It doesn't do anything for pain. Also you don't have to taper. It is not physically addicting...only psychologically addicting.... Throw them out and you will be tired and depressed for a few days. These are really bad for your physical and mental health so hope you can stop taking them. God bless. Corey

You had 5 days under your belt and so close to turning that corner, why go back to a taper? I don't know about phentermine other than it's an appetite suppresant. I know it's difficult at first, but i always say it's the price we have to pay for a short time to get better. Don't give in, like madison and cathy said, get back up and be strong. What is the longest time you have stayed off them before.

P.S. Nice to see you posting madisonjsmom:) We are still proud of you.
