Advise or maybe motivation
I started taking Phentermine 30 mg daily on Feb 4, 2009. To date I have not lost a pound. Infact I gained a 2 lbs. I have increased my exercise on my Elliptical (30-60min/day) and started to eat healthier. How long does it take for phentermine to kick in? Any advice? Anything I should say to my physcian?
Thanks.
I have regularly been checked for thyroid and diabetes. I do take medication for bipolar disorder and manic depression. Neither of these drugs are supposed to cause weight gain either. Phentermine is a stimulant/appetite suppressant. I am going to try liposage slim wrap this week and see if that helps.

Welcome.
I am not familiar with Phentermine so can't specifically answer your question.
My first question though, would be: have you been tested for any underlying medical issues? There are things such as thyroid disorder, insulin resistance, pcos, among others that can cause weight gain/retention. I know from experience, some of these issues will prevent weight loss no matter what you do.
