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 on Phentermine for one month and I have lost 21 lbs. My doctor gave me another 30 days and I hope to have the same results.  This pill takes your tiredness away and makes you want to move around.  Of COURSE my food has changed as well...I eat low calorie cereals with fruit for breakfast...veggies and fruits for snacks and just try to maintain a "healthy" lifestyle..  I LOVE BREAD and CHOCOLATE..BIG TIME...and I find if I have to indulge..I eat a Weight Watcher Zinger...80 calories.   Once someone says..."you losing weight"?..Thats ALL the motivation you need!!  After a week of the pills...I started walking 3 times a week...one mile...then 2 now I am up to 5.  You will see a dramatic difference with exercise...not killing yourself with running...basic walking! However doing alot of research..I found that the first 30 minutes of exercise burns of "sugar" in your system...the rest of the time fat is burned. I have also found that having a day to eat without counting calories is ok....your body needs a little "change" to keep it guessing!!!  Good LUCk!!

The Pharmacist where I get my scripts from is also on this.she has lost 60lbs ..I asked her about getting it online. Maybe its because its what she "has" to say...but she said that most of the time the things you get online without a Dr. prescription are usually not the real deal.  You probably should have your blood tested and a Dr. supervision with this.  Thats only my opinion...GOOD LUCK!

My dr. put me on Phentermine last Thursday, and i have already lost 5.5 lbs!! Before i tried everything to lose the weight, and nothing even budged it. With a new diet, and no more pop, along with ALOT of water, i think i'm off to a pretty good start!!

I am not sure if you can mix Xenical and Phenetrmine ...I do know that when I took Xenical there was a warning of one drug you should not take...I would call a Pharmacist.......they will tell you...You shouldnt need Xenical if you are taking Phenetrmine.......they work wonders!
