Phentermine 37.5

My doctor put me on phentermine, I would prefer to cut them in half so I know how I will react to them first.  He said I shouldn't.  Does anyone else here take these and have you cut them in half?

I just started and my doctor has me on half a tab.it good cuz with half a tab I have Soo much energy. I'm finding it hard to sleep so I can imagine with a full tab. Lol I will never sleep I have to make my self eat. I like the energy its a great motivator I walked 3 miles today and was very trusty wanting water. I don't even like water but it taste Soo good. I've been on three days now.  Good luck

Yes i had headaches when taking a whole. It's better to start out with a half for a week then start a whole pill

Yes it is best to take half a pill starting out the first week then your body will adjust to it. Then take a whole pill. I lost 30 pounds while on this pill.

i took phentermine for 4 months. I lost 60 lbs. it was great. I stopped the pills and after that, I wouldnt even lose one pound, no matter what I ate or how much I worked out. I started Phentermine 2 years later, when I started my first dose of Phentermine, my hands and feet started getting numb. I called the doctors office and they told me to stop it immediately. It scared me!!

I used to take that pill before and i have lost 40lbs...i overdid it thou... I was in a hospital on and off for lack of nutrition... If u will take it pls eat every 3hours... It will really make u lose ur appetite... And also please make sure do some light weight training coz ur fat will be gone but as well as ur muscle mass will decrease.... Take some multivitamins    to boost ur immune system to fight against sickness

I take Phentermine and I've never cut them in half, and have never had anything but results. I would just take your doctor's advice and take them as normal. Good luck with it(:
