Phentermine tolerance

[tbaxter1024]

I have been perscribed phentermine  37.5 tabs for weight loss.  My first 6 weeks went well. In the last two weeks I have only lost 1 lb.  However, I also started drinking more caffeinated drinks again.  I didn't know it wasn't recommended.  My question is...after building a tolerance, can I take a break and start it again?  Will the tolerance have gone away?  Will it be like starting over?

Phentermine screws up your neurotransmitters, kimmit326- you are probably so tired because your adrenals are exhausted. I took it 3 years ago to loose baby weight - I could hardly handle taking it every day, and while I did loose weight, its mostly back now. What it did to me was make me irrational (though I felt sharp as a tac) and aggressive. I knocked down a wall in the house that was annoying me - my husband was so freaked when he came home. I have a dear friend who couldn't talk to me when I was on it as I was so snippy and snarly. It releases your neurotransmitters so you end up raw, well, I did. I took it again recently to help me move house - It sure helped - I was a dynamo, but afterwards - what a crash. I was depressed, edgy, I threw it all out.
Nikki1220, you must have the most amazing nervous system to cope with taking it for so long, or tolerance or something.
I am not saying it is addictive either, (though I did used to know someone who was addicted to it - she was a bit of a mess in general) but it will cause a crash when you stop it as your NT's are all over the place or used up. So it must be used with caution if anyone has a tendency to be easily stressed, depressed or insomniac. Plus, because it works by speeding you up once you slow down again - guess what...

The prescription appetite suppressants by prescription only I know of numerous humans that are not addicted to those prescriptions and I've taken them for longer years that the people I know of that I don't agree with don't know and yes they didn't build up a tolerance and didn't have any bad side effects from what is the worst side effect isn't there prescription is obesity and what the Obesity does to tear down and damage the body and prevent the patient from having a good healthy happy life and ignorant bad people who don't think right are not helping by not agreeing to those prescriptions to be given to the patients asking for them or the ignorant bad people who are not helpful loving good and they don't think right because they're bad statements against the appetite suppressants such as they're addictive or build up a tolerance to or they don't make the patient lose weight they're ignorant they don't know what I do know and I'm right and yes I know of several many and humongous amount of patients that are not addicted to them and have taken them and loss weight didn't build a tolerance to them and there again not addicted to and not in denial and I don't like who said denial and they said so because they're hateful and they're ignorant I don't like them they're not loving human beings they cannot feel what I am feeling they do not know how my skin feels when my skin stretches or bleeds from the weight gain because of ignorant people who have prevented me from getting prescriptions and others from getting prescriptions and because the ignorant people are not loving are not good are not kind and don't have a higher intelligence or knowledge and cannot feel what I am feeling and what I do know and I think right my brain is normal I love I don't want a human to be with no prescriptions to Aid and assist them in weight loss a prescription which is effective and that I personally know isn't addictive in many humans who take them including myself and I don't have bad side effects from what happens is I gain and become obese when I prescription is the only thing in the world that causes your body to lose weight then I or the other should not be refused the prescription and I don't have any problems with the prescription as I said and I know is true problems are those who are against the prescription and don't want the appetite prescription to be given and those who refuse to give to those asking for them

[Lovelovedogsdogs]

Yes I have living medical proof of human being who has been prescribed for many many many years that appetite suppressant and isn't addicted to the prescription appetite suppressant and hasn't ever built up a tolerance to the prescription and they prescription at any given moment when prescribed and taken does cause weight reduction weight loss and does prevent the patient from gated wait this prescription should not be refused to the person asking for the prescription and doesn't give any bad side effects to the person and is it a problem the only problem is the ignorance of the people who are not loving and kind and don't want the prescription to be given to the one asking for the prescription or they don't want to give the prescription to the one asking for the prescription or they are against the prescription and they're horrible negative senseless comments that I don't agree with because I am right and I know about these prescriptions I am speaking of an typing about I am not stupid not dumb and I found very hateful jealous people in this world prevented me from getting and having the prescriptions I asked for and the reason I asked for them is because I need them and are necessary I'm not addicted to I just knew and know if I don't have them I keep gaining there is no alternative to the nun no diet and exercise has ever cause me to lose weight and I have had every dust on in the world and my friends identical to what I am stating and they are living proof and I am living proof I don't like people who are against or people who do not provide them when they patient has asked for them they're not helping they're harming the patient they're hurting the individual asking for the appetite suppressant for a good medical reason to prevent from being grossly obese just like a non-smoker cannot stand cannot tolerate and is hurt by those who are addicted to smoking and when the person that doesn't smoke ask them not to usually the person who smokes get bent out of shape their attitude is usually identical to those who don't want to prescribe prescriptions to the patient asking for those prescriptions the patient asking for those prescriptions is an ignorant isn't addicted what the patient is is needing those necessary prescriptions to lose weight amen hallelujah I do know what I am talking about and I am forever right bless my heart and soul

[Lovelovedogsdogs]

I am truly blessed I know I was prescribed an appetite suppressant I took weight off I don't have a diction to him haven't ever craved them and I haven't ever been violent I am nonviolent in fact I am usually the one attacked by those who are not me and I wouldn't even fight back because I'm nonviolent even with a prescription of appetite suppressant I wouldn't fight back why am I normal and non-violent I'm not Climbing Up and Down the Walls and saying I'm not wanting to jump on those who need the appetite suppressant such as myself but but I am a passive non-violent personality person human normal saying I don't want to jump on a husband or a taccom I don't have a nervous problem with a prescription or with no prescription when a person is a violent person is not the appetite suppressant is the person I'm a non-violent person human I stayed the same I don't change what I take a prescription however I do not gain weight if I take the prescription and prevents me from being obese Lee grossly overweight but I don't the leave comments that are not my comment due to the fact that I am being honest and truthful when I don't agree with a comment that is the opposite of mine is because I know I am right and I am being honest if a person was aggressive or they did odd behavior I know isn't linked to a prescription appetite suppressant is what they are but I am not them thank God I don't attack people I haven't ever harmed or abused but that's me that's normal

[Lovelovedogsdogs]

I don't have any row transmitter problem I don't have any problem the only problems in this world are people who don't agree with me or make false untruthful statements I won't agree with because I know they're wrong not truthful not making sense and I don't agree with them and I am being honest I know and I don't get nippy from up prescription or pills what would make me nippy is having fat hanging down or a risk of having medical conditions because ignorant people have caused me to not have medication I want or prescriptions to prevent obesity now would make me a normal person nippy because I could not get those prescriptions because of their stupidity and ignorancep and I don't want their messed up brain thank God my brain is in a mess and isn't messed up when people speak of what someone does to their spouse and they related to a prescription especially an appetite suppressant I know those people are wrong ignorant and don't know what I do know the appetite suppressant prescription wouldn't cause any Behavior towards a husband to be in a negative form the prescription prevents the weight loss and doesn't cause the problems or mess up or neurotransmitter mess most likely is probably the husband and whoever is speaking about the husband and whoever is speaking isn't me maybe they have some alternate evil treatment towards the woman that they're speaking of taking appetite suppressants so it's probably the problem is the one complaining about the person on appetite suppressants and maybe is linked to the husband maybe they're fooling around if they're not fooling around there most likely jealous of the woman who's taking the appetite suppressants or the woman that wants them

[Lovelovedogsdogs]

And mostly I found that I with a knowledge that prescription Stampy taken for appetite suppressant for years and years and years and not have bad side effects and not be addictive and you don't build a tolerance to them I know those things are true and I have medical proof of so I know what I'm talking about and I'm right but I find those against the prescription to prevent obesity and the bad side effects that can occur from the Obesity they don't want them to be given to the patient or their against up and they say negative things about them one because of their ignorance their lack of knowledge and they don't know what I do know and what I feel in my body or because they're extremely jealous of me extremely jealous of me and the jealousy maybe because I'm slender or if I'm extremely overweight or over the amount of weight I want to be there still jealous of me maybe because I have a good personality a loving soul at heart and I'm happy I am a happy person and I'm not bitching and I don't want to jump on someone and I am nonviolent I haven't ever harmed a person or an animal and besides that they have usually cause something to me and is their fault and they're the reason and I am to blame them and their to blame I am not to blame or they're jealous because I have a life and I haven't ever given birth to a child I've let a happy life I have traveled around the world I have done everything and enjoyed everything anything and something in this life and I found those people I don't agree with or that I blame or that make statements which are not truthful senseless and I don't agree with them is because I know I'm right so I won't agree with them and I don't like their comments or their statements or their belief because I know better than them and I think better than them and I know that they're not the loving kind beautiful human being that I want in my life or that I would love to be dear they're not helpful they cannot make me have what I want they cannot give me what I want and they're not going to do any good in my world they're not normal

[Lovelovedogsdogs]

[kimmit326]

i have to say, i did have withdrawal symptoms, i have gotten used to it and wanted to take a break so i stopped on a saturday. i was SO tired that day, i could barely keep my eyes open even though i had slept for like over 13 hours, i mean i got out of bed but i was just really, really tired, i was never like that before i started the phen. i didn't have any headaches or nausea or anything like that, just really, really extreme fatigue, so about 1ish i gave up and took one and within the hour i felt normal, so i am slowly weaning my self off, im down to half a pill every other day, i didn't have one today and dont plan on taking any more unless i need it, then after a month start back on it, but this time i plan on taking it every other day, instead of every day. i think that everyone will react differently when they stop taking this. i have been taking them since mid october

Phentermine is a controlled substance thats why they say it is addictive!!!

[Lovelovedogsdogs]

There are many many patients I have living proof of who are not addicted and have taken Phentermine and didriks and appetite suppressants and is what those are just because the government decided to name them a controlled substance doesn't mean everybody is addicted to them if they take them but I am not an ignorant dumb person I am not a hateful person I am a loving common sense and intelligence person I do know about these medications and I do know doctors who have a brain and will prescribe them when patients asked for them because they really are needed and are necessary didrex isn't the price of Phentermine Phentermine is so so cheap really inexpensive did Rex is not outrageously expensive but is a little more than didrex because is better  b s d i d r e x is better than Phentermine and is why did Rex isn't the price of Phentermine so offices don't want to give didrex because they have to pay more for so their profit would be less unless they raise the price of their office treatment for medication to lose weight Phentermine is cheap for the office very cheap much cheaper than didrex so their profit is basically more than half of the payment because Phentermine is so cheap they would have to raise their payment fees if they use d i d r e x on patients but I am just being honest truthful and right not ignorant not dumb not hateful and believe me I am believed by those who have a brain and agree with me and they know I am right and that I do know and yes I know the feeling my body has had with rolls of fat obese and the fat hanging down and how the stretch marks feel and that my skin is so delicate and fragile and thin and rips from the stretch marks of weight gain I don't need ignorant people saying O is tolerance against pills can develop or has addiction no is an addiction the patient asked for the medication because if the patient doesn't take the medication weight loss will not happen and weight gain occurs along with the weight gain I had from not being given prescriptions I had my skin tear and bleed with stretch marks and the only reason my skin had stretch marks and bled was because of ignorant people who keep a patient from having needed prescriptions they ask for those needed necessary prescriptions are an appetite suppressant and I've had obese people who don'l

[Lovelovedogsdogs]

I have had obese people who don't feel what I feel when I have gained so much weight and obese people who are jealous and hateful towards me and don't want me to be giving medicine that I asked for and I've had slender or skinny people not want me to get medicine because they're jealous they're hateful and cruel people overweight and underweight or regular wait I have found when they are hateful ignorant or extremely jealous they don't want me to have the medicine or they disagree with me or they start coming up with senseless rhetoric senseless statements of Tolerance addiction or their rhetoric of controlled substance my God the government list things and Laboratories pay the government all kinds of funding is provided in numerous directions the public is not even aware of and involves what those things are listed is or because in a Laboratory test one and maybe out of a million came up with like side effects not everybody has side effects the same they may not even have a side effect I didn't but I know and I have medical proof of didn't ever have an addiction to I don't have a problem with the only problems in this world are the ignorance of problem people who don't want to give those prescriptions prescribed those prescriptions to the person asking for and the reason they don't prescribe them is because they are not treating the person with love with good medical love and is the only reason and the people who are against them is because they're our problem they're ignorant they don't know what I do know and I'm right

[Nikki1220]

Phentermine is not addicting. You will not experience any physical withdraw symptoms when you stop taking them. They are not amphetamines, they are similar but are not. I started taking phentermine 13 years ago after my daughter was born because I needed help loosing the after baby weight. I took them and first 2 weeks I lost 11 pounds but also followed the low fat no simple sugar diet that the doctor told me to follow and also, I walked at least a mile every day and also did aerobics every day. In a matter of 3 months I went from a size 9 to a zero and yes had more muscle than fat, so when I would weigh in at 115 at dr. Office they didn't know where the weight was because I was so small. Too small. I am 5'4 and went from 150 to 115. I kept taking the phentermine for about another year with really no break because mentally I thought without taking it I could not keep the weight off, that's where it seems it is addictive, if anything we make ourselves think its addictive, because truly our bodies will experience no withdraw behavior when we stop taking it. Just a little tired without it and of course hungry. But, I have noticed over the years when u do take about a month break from it and restart taking again it does help me. But, in my case that is me taking it on and off for 13 years. There has been times when I stopped taking it for a year and I did not experience any addictive withdraw symptoms. Anyways, good luck to u!

Do more research. You’re wrong.

Maybe you could elaborate why you think someone is wrong and share your knowledge.

[Riley_shannon]

On phentermine for 13 years???? You are addicted and in denial. Who ever your doctor is should have his/her license revoked. Something in your brain is telling you to keep using it. That's addiction. Addiction to something isn't measured by the withdrawal symptoms. You are are also stopping and starting it because you want that "feeling" again. If you've been on that for 13 years that shoes everyone reading this post that in the long run pills don't work. It may motivate you to start losing but it's about calories in and calories out. It sucks but it's fact. We all can't be Barbie dolls. Let's be healthy instead. And happy.

[Lovelovedogsdogs]

I don't agree with but I am not ignorant I know something and I love Barbie dolls yes humans can be the size wear jealous people want to call them Barbie dolls but I am not a jealous people I'm just a normal loving human being I am not against those who can lose weight with prescriptions and is the only way they can and I am living proof can be done with no addiction but I am not lying and I am not hateful I don't agree with hateful wrong people because I'm right and I know better

[Lovelovedogsdogs]

And I am not ignorant and wrong I know just because a prescription is listed as a controlled substance which there's a reason they listed as a controlled substance and isn't related to addiction those controlled substances can be taken with no addiction I have seen and no of living proof of it's the ignorance of those who want to jump on someone and start with their rhetoric of ignorance about addiction I would be more concerned about people who have to take opioids pain pills just to do work and can't even function and their life without a pain pills I have seen more babies grown adult babies addicted to pain pills they can't function without them those are really The Addictive pills not appetite suppressants not even appetite suppressants addiction is usually in their mind they can be addicted to a hot dog if they believe in their mind and let themselves believe they're addicted there's living proof of many of humans who have taken appetite suppressants and don't have any addiction to them my friend took appetite suppressants for longer than 50 years and wasn't addicted to the prescription how to take the prescription though because my friend had gained a lot of weight on my friend was young and because of this my friend gain weight easily any alternative to those prescriptions of appetite suppressants didn't work the alternatives to those prescriptions were an effective my friend went off the prescription and gained so much weight became extremely obese and with the Obesity comes the medical conditions my friend didn't want risk of diabetes heart problems liver arthritis asthma and numerous other bad medical problems including diabetes my friend wasn't a risk for diabetes or heart problems or any medical problems and didn't have thyroid problem and didn't have diabetes but ignorant people who are cruel and they just don't know and they don't feel what the person is feeling they don't understand correctly as the person does understand that wants those prescriptions those against those prescriptions and start with their senseless attitude of ignorance and statements of their addictive find an alternative or  tolerance they don't make any sense and doesn't pertain to every human being everybody is different my friend I know is different and isn't addicted to them and hasn't created a tolerance to them and the pills are not an effective the prescribed prescription appetite suppressants are effective and do prevent weight gain and can cause easily weight loss and are not a problem the problem and the world is ignorant people and bad doctors and nurse practitioners and people who will not prescribe or give those prescription pills of appetite suppressants the problem isn't the appetite suppressant the problems and big problem is ignorant cruel senseless people who are against the appetite suppressant or don't want humans to be given the appetite suppressant and their statements of tolerance or addictive or substance oh my God the word substance those people are usually the people who are getting high and are not getting high on appetite suppressants they're usually the dopers in the world or their non dopers and they're ignorant or are dopers and ignorant dopers usually smoking weed

The short answer is yes, Phetermine is addictive and after a while it will take more of the med to have the same effect, but if you take a drug vacation (about a month) It will again be effective. That's why its for short term use and is part of a regimine. Never increase dosage w/o talking w/doc. (this is how problems begin) How  close are you to your ideal weight? The more weight you lose the more difficult it is to lose more. Talk with your Doc to see if you are healthy enought to walk for around 30 minutes, 3 times  a day and a little strength training will help also. (It takes more calories to maintain a pound of muscle compared to a pound of fat. Also muscle weighs more than fat, so you could be getting smaller and not losing(and maybe even gaining) a little weight. How do you feel compared to 6 weeks ago? To get ripped say like a body builder,you will need to do m-u-c-h more than take diet pills. However, if you just want to fit back into your "skinny jeans" diet,walking and a little weight traing will maintain your weight.
