I advised don't take more than 37.5 don't take more than one pill if the pill is 37.5 only have one in the morning preferably before food to come in empty stomach don't eat until at least 2 to 3 hours 3 hours even better after medication if you take the medication with food isn't as effective and so then you wonder God why do I want to eat I don't I have energy the best thing to do if you're not shedding a lot of pounds is too good a good doctor have the doctor prescribe didrex

When I first started Adipex 37.5 once a day, I was about 280 pounds, which was more than I had  ever been. I ended up losing 70 pounds. However, the medicine did plateau and no longer helped me lose any more weight. I took a break for 2 months, and tried it again with minimal loss, but no gain.
I was switched over to phen D three times a day, but I was always hungry and sleepy. I also gained about 8 pounds. My weight tends to fluctuate 10 pounds up and down. Now I am taking instant release phentermine (Adipex) 15 mg, three times a day. It does seem to increase my heart rate and make me feel a little jittery. This is my first day on it so I will have to see what the results will be overall given a little time.

[Lovelovedogsdogs]

Get a good doctor that is license to write prescriptions of didrex and fastin maybe 30 mg instead of the 30 7.5 the 30 mg is a capsule and the 37.5 is a tablet the 30 mg and the 37.5 react differently in the body so maybe go to the 30 mg capsule instead of the tablet of 37.5 but ask the doctor to prescribe did Rex didrex for weight loss 50mg up to 3 and don't take the 3 all at once separate the hours

Sorry to hear that, but I too eat mostly in the night & sweets are my vice. I took a break from phentermine not by choice for 2 months & begged my doctor to put me back on, finally he did. They had a better effect like the first 2 months I tried them for the first time ever. Give your body chemistry a break for a month then start back on the capsules & not the pill form. Weird as it may seem, but the capsules worked a little better for me. However I will wait latter in the day to take so I won't have the sweet tooth Jones thing going on.

Lost 72 pound from March to July this year...ate very healthy, lots of veggies,  chicken, fish and lean red meat once a week...Havent been able to lose since and have been hungry the lat few months. I dont think Phentermine is working any longer. I am certain of it. I am also very unmotivated and tired all the time.,
How can I get the Phentermine to work again? Taking time off of it during the holiday season for the first tim, especially when not feeling as in control scares me a bit...I am on 37.5 once a day, early morning. Yes I am more hungry at night and find myself eating chocolate every night since freakin Halloween. I ate 3 squares of high quality dark chocolate during my weight loss process every night and it worked great. But now I am eating crappy mini chocolate bars left over from trick or treaters.
Will the Phentermine ever work again? Is there any way I can get it to work without taking a break? What should I add to it, if anything? How often? How much? Advice would really be appreciated! Thank you!

[yulireyes1408]

Wow I would also love to lose that much what exercising habits did you have? Also how were you allowed to take it for 5months ?

[Lovelovedogsdogs]

Please anyone have the name of a doctor and phone number in Tucson of the doctor that can prescribe didrex and fasting for me in Tucson

[jovannadahling]

I'm sorry that came out wrong..what I meant was my Dr. said it had the potential for abuse..not that if you took more you were abusing it...sorry others if I offended any one ; ) Also I found a really good cook book where the foods were so nutritious they were very satisfying..It is George Mateljan's Book.
Also I do take a break.and don't take them at all when I am not hungry for them..so then when I take them maybe 3 days later they work really good. Like I don't always feel hungry in the morning so I hate to waste them if you know what I mean..and I might take it before dinner. But I am most definitely a night owl. hth

[jovannadahling]

what helped me a lot because I am a night eater and an emotional one was to take it like 3 pm... and then to never eat at night. I did not have a problem with eating breakfast or lunch. But if you are not a night owl like I am you would want to take half of one. I do not think it is a good idea to take more..because I think it should be taken maturely and not be abused. hth

I am on week 4 of taking Phentramine.  I found that it has started to lose its effectiveness.  I am reading that taking 2 (37.5mg) is not recommended.  Is Adipex the same as Phentramine?  Did this happen to you?  If so, what did your Dr. recommend?  His program sounds great.  Unfortunately, I am in California.

[Heidi1205]

I asked Dr. Summers, my weight management doctor in Birmingham, AL 205-838-3740, this very same question.  He said to take the pill no later then lunchtime because it can cause me to not be able to sleep at night if I take it too late or take more than is prescribed.  He said that Adipex is the strongest medication available and also suggested that I try the lipotropic injections to help me along my weight loss journey.  He has also encouraged me to keep a food journal and since I have started doing so I realized that I was eating much more than I had thought.  I can proudly say that Dr. William Summers and his medical weight loss staff has helped me loose 60 pounds!  WoooooHooooo!  Message me if you need more info about his amazing (and affordable) weight loss program.

[Africa42]

What is lipotropic injection because I been on Phentermen for 3weeks1/2 and it seem too stop working

[gena33]

I was told by my Dr. that after two months you must take a break, if not you will no longer feel the effects.. at least a month break.

[reddd]

how much weight can i suspect to lose with this

[sassys]

Yes you can take more.  People often take another 15mg in the afternoon. If you find its not as effective try taking tyrosine (500mg)2 times moring and late afternoon. It helps the phentermine work better.  However rarely does one diet drug alone ever work.  They must be used in combination with other drugs or supplements. You are probably not going to a doctor who specialty is weight-loss because it sounds like you are only taking phentermine by itself.  This will work only for the short term.  If you have had a problem with obesity all your life like myself, short term will never work. Try to find a intrenist who knows bariatrics. If you are interested in how to maintain control I suggest reading "Turn Off The Hunger Switch" by Paul rivas, MD.  You might want to show it to your doctor.  He is a expert on medical obesity one of the few who has had long term sucess.

Back in the day when I took it, I took 37.5 in the am
and a 15mg in the afternoon.

[byebye12]

I am currently taking one and a half I take a 37.5 as soon as I wake up and half a pill midday. This is prescribed by my Dr here in Chicago. One pill just doesn't do it for me anymore. To be honest...the phentermine is not working like it used to. So, I am excited that there is another option now with the HCG injections. Be careful tho because you will get the jitters...and this is coming from someone who drinks 2 pots of coffee a day and usually doesn't get them!

[Jill4473]

I take 1 1/2 too, but I only do it a few times a month because I worry that I'll run out of pills too fast. I haven't had any problems with side effects.

[Drive4Five]

I am taking the pill twice a day right now.  I take it early in the morning before a protein shake and another one around 10 AM.  If you go much later than that you might not sleep much.  The first day I took one around 3 PM, big mistake, might have slept an hour total.

[Lets Lose Now]

Hi, I work at Advanced Weight Loss Center in Birmingham, AL. To my knowledge, Phentermine 37.5mg is the strongest phentermine made. If the medicine is not holding you through the evening hours, you can take it a little later in the afternoon. We actually encourage our patients to eat a healthy breakfast and a light lunch (still healthy of course:) and take the suppressant at lunch time. If you are like most of our patients, the evening munchies are where they struggle most with regard to weight.  You may also wish to ask your physician for Lipotropic injections and/or B12 injections to aid in your weight loss. And don't forget to find encouragement where ever you can, a spouse, friend, co-worker. You are not in this alone...Encouragement is an important part of this process.

[Marian in NC]

I only started taking the phentermine today, so I may not be much help.  Have you tried breaking the pill in half?  The dr. that prescribed mine suggested doing that & taking half in the morning & half mid afternoon.  hth
