Lupus is hereditary auto immune you have it or you don't .... I have lupus sle diagnosed 13 years ago after child birth and I have taken phrntermine years later and lost 78 pounds and never once caused a flare in me... which not saying it can't but it doesn't cause the actual lupus disease.
Phentermine the generic for fastin doesn't cause lupus doesn't trigger lupus if anything what Phentermine will do is one healthy thing reduce weight and help keep the body healthy from excessive weight gain and I'm the excessive weight gain can cause high blood pressure heart problems diabetes arthritis waiting to use asthma all kinds of other medical conditions which wouldn't occur if the body wasn't overweight Phentermine isn't a problem prescription don't even worry about appetite suppressant prescriptions are not bad
The last comment above about Phentermine isn't a problem prescription don't worry about I was trying to type Phentermine isn't a bad prescription for weight reduction and believe in me doesn't cause problems like most people think I would be more concerned over weight gain because the weight gain create so many unwanted medical conditions such as high blood pressure diabetes fat around the organs let alone what the weight does to the heart the heart has to pump just to carry all the weight on the body around that's why some obese people are huffing and puffing when they move around or try to exercise the wait is just too much on their body God shouldn't have made humans where they gained weight and go beyond the pounds they should be maybe someday he'll create a machine that we can just step into and instantly become our desired weight until then we may count our calories be careful of what types of foods we choose and the mount the size the portion and exercise along with appetite suppressants can help mine usually doesn't have the get up and go to exercise when there's so many pounds weighing us down on our body the less we weigh the more active and more exercise we can do

Yes there is a place called Bee Healthy and its is in West Columbia. They are great. I lost 9lbs in my first week. I will continue with the shots and Phentermine until I lose at least 40lbs altogether. I am so glad I found a way to lose weight and not feel hungry. The Place is located on Sunset Blvd.  Good Luck.

Hi All,

I am new to the forum but certainly not new to dieting.  I have used Phentermine successfully both with and without the B12 shots but the most effective diet for me is no carb.  I lost 100 lbs in 10 months and have never felt better.  Good luck to you all and whatever you do make sure it is safe!

Hello all,

I'm a 5'10" 41yo male, and I started taking Vitamin B-12 Injections on 4/04/2015.  I would have started phentermine on the same day, but my BP was 163/90.  I am guessing this was due to lack of exercise and gaining 20-25lbs, as I have never had high BP.  My Doctor then prescribed me Licinopril - 10-12.5mg medication, and after a week, I am back in the 130/75 range.  During that week, I changed my diet, the times and amount I ate, and began a light cardio program 2 days a week to build stamina.  I went from 230lbs down to 224lbs.  

Today, (Saturday 4/11/2015), I gave myself the 2nd B-12 injection and I also began taking (1) 37.5mg phentermine tablet in the morning, around 7:30am.  I also wanted to get an idea what to expect when I take it before work.  The level of alertness and energy I feel is incredible!  Work-out was great, and I didn't run out of energy.  I also like to workout before I eat breakfast.  Most fitness sites/blogs/programs and experts recommend eating after your work-out.  After all, your burning fat, and fat turns into energy!  

After my morning workout, I have 2 scrambled eggs, a handful of unsalted almonds and a protein shake to repair/support lean muscle growth (60/grams protein).  During the day, I snack on fresh vegetables w/ fat free ranch or Italian dressing, peanuts/almonds, and another protein shake.  For dinner, its chicken or fish w/ steamed/grilled vegetables.  

For many of us, its the lack of energy and/or motivation to "start" to live a healthier lifestyle.  This medication will definitely help you.  Once you get yourself in a routine, and you see the results, it will become 2nd nature.  

For those of you looking for a program such as this, I purchased mine on Groupon for $149, here in the Dallas, TX area.  I searched "weight loss programs". It includes initial Dr visit, 4 week follow-up visit, 4 weeks of B-12 injections, and an 8 week prescription of phentermine.  Hope this helps!!

My goal is to go from 230lbs to 185lbs in 8 weeks.  I'll check back next week to report progess.
