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?

Phentermine gives me extra energy to keep going for the most part. Some days when I take it, I am still hungry, and I can eat. some days I dont want to eat at all. I dont always take it everyday, sometimes I skip a day because it can be too strong for me. (I can wake up the next day and still feel it in my system.) Overall, I like the "pick me up" and it keeps me in control of what and when I eat for sure. As far as mood swings, YES! It can really put me in a mood. I think that is why the warnings say not to take it if you may suffer from depression, etc. It can really get me on an emotional roller coaster, IF I LET IT. Overall, it is very effective for weight loss and appetite control. The only thing I found is that it's somewhat addictive. Good luck finding what works for you.

Im taking the phentermine and doing the low carb diet.  Has anyone tried this?  I hate to exercise.  I have a 9 month old and a 5 year old, they keep me pretty busy, so I dont have much time to exercise and when Im not running after them I want to relax or Im cooking diner or doing chores.  I have been taking them for 1 week and i have not lost yet. Any feed back would be appreciated.

I also took the 35 mg of adipex as prescribed by my dr.  She was great. I do weight watchers as well, but I wasn't losing anymore.  She said that this could help boost my metab., and it did.  I took it for 12 weeks, too, as the post above said.  My goal is 150, and it took off 31 lbs. +/- along with serious changes in eating.  I even found a diet margarita for the weekends.  LOL....  It really did help, and now I'm struggling b/c I'm so close to my goal, but last week I gained 1 lb.  My dr. told me that the first 3 weeks off, I should up my exercise to 5 days a week for 30-45 min., but I've had some difficulty getting it all in with being a sports mom and all.  I did get in 3 days of 45 min. rigorous, but the other 2 are just not happening yet.  I am getting worried, but I need to focus on eating to live, not living to eat.  My dad's heart dr. told him that, and I'll never forget it.

I just started taking phentermine 2 weeks ago and have lost 8 pounds(132 right now) 5'2". My goal is to get back to 115-110 which is a healthy weight for my height. I had a tummy tuck last year along with a boob job. I am now a 32DD and wear a 5 jeans in juniors. Gosh I feel better than ever about myself and finally getting those last pounds off! This stuff really works.
I purchased my phertermine online at us-pills.com you will use there online doctor not a local and you don't have to provide your doctors name either for contact. Your BMI just has to be 25 or over. My BMI was 25 and I got mine no problem.Just answer the questions and if they have problems filling they will contact you.
Good luck to all of us!
