I'm on 30mg phentermine. ive been taking it for 3 weeks now. lost 4lbs, ate one good meal, and gained it back all in one day. I was down to salads and water, with no results what so ever.

I just started Phentermine 37.5mg last week.  I haven't had a weigh in yet but I have noticed that I have cut way back on my food intake.  I have talked with friends that have taken it in the past and they said that they got the best results when they combined it with a good, healthy diet and started exercising.  That could be the jump start you need if you haven't started working out yet!  I am also doing Weight Watchers in combination with the Phentermine, so we'll see what happens!!

Hi I too have had problems with Phentermine I am taking the speckled 35mg. The Capsules never worked for me. I still don't have much results with phentermine but I can say that it distracts my brain into not thinking about food. I just stay busy the best I can and try not to be around food. The downside of Phentermine for me was: I usually don't feel it working, Caffeine will counter act mine as well as stress and anything else negative in my life. I also started to take 2 pills then backed off cause it keeps me wired at night. Since I have been on this I have to say it never helped me lose weight but it kept me from thinking about pigging out and if you work out on it, it helps out so much and works better. I drank tons of water on it the dry mouth I hated! Just remember everyone that takes it reacts to it differently. Are you getting it from a clinic? I did and I would always email or call to ask questions! Good luck

No personal experience of phentermine but a quick google tells me it's an appetite supressant?
You still need to eat, otherwise you won't lose weight.
Hopefully someone with experience will be along soon.
