Phentermine

I just got a prescription to start taking Phentermine.  Can anyone give me some feed back on this pill?  What kind of results have you had, how did you take it and how much, did you change your eatting habits?  
Also I heard this makes you have bad mood swings, has anyone had any problems with it?

I have been taking Phentermine for 12 days, and so far I haven't lost any weight. I really don't have much of a appetite, and I have quite drinking all soda pop, not eating junk food, only healthier foods,,,,and still nothing.  I have read what you have all wrote, how you have lost a lot of weight within the first couple of weeks. I am just frustrated and don't get it. Has anyone else had any trouble while taking this????

I went to clinic to get phentermine and B-12 shot.  First day I took it, NO HUNGER, Great Right?  Well immediately I got a very strong pain in my back.  Thought maybe I picked up something that hurt me, but I had not.  The following day I took my second pill and it got so bad, I ended up going to the chiropractor (twice), massage therapist and eventually into the Emergency Room with a severe headache (felt like a migrane).  I do not suffer from back problems or severe headaches so this was very unusual.  

I stopped completely and its been almost 3-weeks now, just starting to feel normal.   Has anyone had any of these side effects?  Not taking anymore until I hear from any of you guys.  THANKS

I think I might be going through the same thing. Feels like a heart attack, but I know it is my stomach. I have a sharp pain in my upper left stomach that radiates into my back. I was wondering if [phentermine caused an increased production of stomach acid because I also have IBS and when I do not take magnesium, probiotics and heartburn medicine I get this same type of pain. feels like someone is putting a knife through my stomach into my back. right straight through is the pain. I have only taken the meds for a little over a week. I don't think I can tolerate them.

Online pharmacies are tricky now b/c the FDA is becoming stricker and stricker with what it allows pharmacies to dispense and ship into the U.S.
Do not order from overseas pharmacies. Only trust U.S. pharmacies. Also if the order is over 30, don't trust it. That's all the FDA currently allows. So if you're getting more, it's a gamble for the real thing! I've been burned....BAD. My friends have been burned. The problem with the 30 pill limit is the demand is SO high which equals price gouging.
You can get phentermine (generic) for $5 with a doctors Rx and insurance-without insurance cash price is $30. Keep in mind pharmacies won't sell you something without making a profit. Each pill costs them somewhere btwn .03 cents-.05 cents. I'm sure I just made the burn of getting screwed by online pharmacies hurt even more, but I wanted everyone to have the insider's scoop.
Good luck, happy hunting, weight loss wishes to us all!
