I honestly can report to everyone that without Phentermine all I think about is FOOD. My mind is constantly thinking about when I get to eat next and what the next yummy, delicious item is that will be participating in a Party In My Mouth. Phentermine? takes these THOUGHTS AWAY. I have no idea how this works, but you seriously stop thinking about food. You're not disgusted by the thought of food, it just is not something you think about. You start thinking about other things like paying your bills and when was the last time you did laundry and stuff like that.
I am hoping that my doctor will be willing to subscribe it. I take Effexor for anxiety, but have never had a blood pressure problem, although I am about 60 lbs overweight. I really believe it would help my overall health.
I’ve been on and off of phentermine now since December 2020. I have lost a total of 70lbs. We do one month on and one month off. No skin issues, no weight gain at all, and it’s helped me to get in the habit of working out and eating healthily everyday.
Down 22 pounds in 1 month so it works for me. Still have around 30 to 40 pounds to go. I skip breakfast lunch and snacks and only eat dinner. Gave up diet Pepsi and drink 60 plus oz of water a day.
Im going into my second week, now at 37.5 rather the past week at 18.5. It helps def, also with my focus. What pointers or help do u have for me. I work fulltime, keep up w.7kids, and going into my second week w.no loss yet.
@@amybrevard3800 I haven’t drake soda in a very long time, I recommend drinking plenty of water. If you don’t like the taste of water there is sparkling water and drops to add flavor in ur water. Also, if that is too hard to do suddenly, cut back slowly or substitute soda for a healthy juice that doesn’t have a lot of sugar.
@Heather Starker You only gain the weight back if you starve your body on it. Make sure your still eating at least 1200 cals a day and get into the habit of eating clean so you don’t crave a whole bunch of food at once. Also, drink plenty of water after you get off of it.
i have always love eating and that made me lose weight super hard, tried a lot of diets and exercises along with it, but what made it possible was agoge diet. it changed my life, and maybe yours as well
This is my second day on phentermine and I feel great! It is truly amazing how it takes the food obsessive thoughts/emotional eating component away which has always been my struggle. My hope is that once I go off I'll be able to keep it off since I will be breaking bad habits while on the medication like snacking at night. Would love to hear from amyone who has taken phentermine and has had success keeping the weight off without having to go back on the medication. Also hope I can lower my AcC which is why I am on it. My goal is 30 pounds! Wish me luck!
I'm starting these tomorrow 05/07/2021. My doctor prescribed them to me yesterday 05/05/21 . I have been trying to loose weight for 2 years. I was 145 and went up to 200 lbs (current weight). I'm considered obese at this point. And I workout every single day. So lets see if they work for me. I'm also going to be eating 1200 calories. No sugar, no fried food, and no bread, rice and tortillas. And I will also be doing my regular workouts at 7am (HIIT workouts for 1 to 2 hours a day, and I will try to walk 10,000 steps a day.) UPDATES: 05/14/2021 - lost 11lbs, New weight: 189.0
I was prescribed on 05/06/21 and started taking them today 0507/21! Good luck. I took them in 2004 for a boost and they work. Drink plenty of water and take a multi vitamin. You won't be eating the same so you have to keep nutrients in your body. If not your hair will get brittle.
I started 4/28/2021. First week I lost 4lbs! You do have to eat through out the day as I forgot to eat and started feeling nauseous. So healthy snacks is good to have around. I am going to try cutting it in half like she recommend as I’m finding it’s wearing off in the evening. But so far I’m really liking it! Good luck!
@@NatNun yeah I have been cutting my pill in half as well. And I'm eating every 2 hours. 9am Breakfast 11am Snack 1pm lunch 3pm snack 5pm dinner And I have been drinking so much water. I will be updating my weight on May 14, hopefully I lose weight on my first week. 🤞🏼 And good luck to you too 😊
I’m Type2. I was taking metformin with a crappy diet. My fasting blood sugar was 282-300. I still take metformin and I’m doing keto along with phentermine. After 1 week my fasting sugar is 125. The phentermine helps my urges to over eat. I love it so far and I’m down 12 pounds in almost a month.
I recently started this medication three days ago and i eased myself into it i forst did 1/4th then half and today a whole pill I have really bad anxiety about medicine and that halped alot i feel energized and happy I haven't noticed any mood swings littlw dry mouth
Phentermine is awesome. Lost 30 lbs in 2 months. Be careful you don't mess up a few days after meds are over when the beast returns. By beast I literally mean I cornered a plate of cookies like a lion penning in gazelles against rocks. No gazelles lived that day my friends. And girlfriend lion's treat for coworkers mysteriously disappeared.
@@cheyennehartin The first part (2-4 days) I just felt light nausea, didn't eat too much. The second part (week 1 to week 8) I just barely ate (from 4 meals a day and snacking to maybe 2 meals a day). My stomach would growl but no connection to the brain that I was hungry. After a while it does plateau so you can come off of it for a month or two. This is where the danger is for sweets and snacking. Then after 2 more months, I'm back on it again. I lost a total of 30 initially, gained 5 back, and anticipate losing around 18 this next 2 months. I've also cut out soft drinks and have started ordering from a meal prep service (Clean Eatz) to get healthier portioned meals. Goal is to form the habit of consistent water intake as well and then when coming off of it again in 60 days, re-introduce myself to the gym.
My tips are Water water water, drink plenty of water throughout the day Set alarms in your phone to remind yourself to eat regularly Eat higher protein to discourage muscle loss, And fibre to discourage the constipation Find a exercise that you don't mind that you can do each day like taking the dog for a walk or an exercise routine from UA-cam.
@TURTLEORIGINAL I'm not working out really. My job is pretty physical. I walk maybe 5+ mi. a day at work. I stretch and do push-ups, planks, and squats every morning and before bed but not to an extreme. It takes @10 minutes. I'm usually not hungry in the morning so I'll eat @3pm and I'm good for the day. Something with lots of protein. No breads or sodas. Lots of water. The good thing about the phentermine is that it makes you thirsty and food isn't really tasty. So I usually just eat because I know I need to eat something and not because I'm hungry.
@@breannarobertson1471 my sleep pattern has always been crazy because of work. I generally get 6 hours of sleep with no specific bedtime. I did find it harder to sleep for about 2 weeks and I never had anxiety. It did mess with my urinating though. I know this might be TMI but I had to really push to get a urine stream even though I knew I had to go. It was very strange. I thought it was a prostate problem but it wasn't. Just a side effect.
I am on day 1, and based on the reviews I am so freaking excited!!!! I cannot wait until a month from now to see how much weight I will lose. I do exercise 3 times a week at Planet Fitness for about an hour. So this pill in conjunction with exercise should definitely get me to my weight loss goal. My physician instructed me to come back in a month for evaluation. Good luck to you all who are already on it or about to start.
I started taking this drug about a week ago and I still haven’t felt hungry since it kicked in on day 1. It’s amazing and it’s easier to eat healthy because since I’m not hungry I don’t get cravings for bad food.
Im currently on day 2 . Yesterday i was feeling very down but no hunger whatsoever or other side effects. Today im more energized and not thinking about eating... Im excited for this journey
i have severe BED (binge eating disorder) and this drug is the only thing that has helped me to not overeat, you do have to up your water intake a lot though. but it’s worked very well so far
Awesome, informative video. Thank you for making this. Phentermine has helped control my cravings while eating a healthy diet. It has helped me lose 10 lbs so far. If I don't take phentermine, my body wants to binge eat and I really really do not want to go down that path.
On day two of half a pill per day. So yesterday i was able to skip lunch! I had fat free greek yogurt for bkfst and asalad with grilled chicken for dinner. Got lil hungry round 9 but i go to bed at that time so it passed. I think full dose would make me too nervous. Half dose is great and lasted till 9 pm. I took it at 8 am
It works for me. But in my personal case, it helps me make better food choices and I exercise regularly. Only when I am doing both does it work wonderful. It is not a miracle pill, you have to put in the work 👍
Thank you so much! This drug is so good and I have dropped 6 pounds this week on just half a 37.5 dose. I am a runner and I was running and then eating back my calories. This drug has helped me eat smaller healthy portions and I'm finally seeing fat loss results from the workouts. Used to be after an 8 mile run, my appetite was out of control and just couldn't get enough food..because of your info, it's understood how appetite works and this drug has stopped those annoying hunger pains! Again can't thank you enough! 👏🏻👍🏻
I'm on day 2 of taking Phentermine and finding it very helpful to watch your videos. You're helping me to understand a lot of thins about this weight loss journey. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos.
These videos really gave me so much information and helped me feel a lot better about taking Phentermine because I was afraid to at first with all the bad side effects. I start taking them tomorrow. Wish me luck and thanks again!
Ok update on my journey. This video is almost 4 years old and it helped me alot so follow her advise and you will be good. I have been taking it for 2 months now, about to request my third batch this month. I started at 185 and now i am down to 165. Not the greatest success as I have heard alot of people loose way more but I am still happy with my progress. The first month didnt do much for me because of covid, job loss and having to move. However, like everyone else, reality sunk in and i made the best of the situation and found a new routine. After i moved and had less things to stress over, i started walking everyday. That was a mistake because i got the worst blisters. I bought new shoes and it was still the same. So thats advice number 1, Dont over do it. Now i walk 5 days a week, about 8 miles per day and i look forward to it. Starting today, i signed up for an online zoom workout class with a trainer so i am excited for that. I plan to do my regular walks and 3 days of zoom exercises. I start by taking the pill in the morning around 8:30am with water. Any later, i have issues sleeping. Try not to take it too early either, i feel it doesnt work if you do. The pill works for me by keeping me fuller longer. Think of it like any other pill, it wears off just the same. So as she says, you can break it in half and take half now and half later. The pill allows me to not over eat or snack during the day. When i do eat, i try to make better food choices. I will also be jumping back on my calorie counting this month and introduce juicing into my diet. I am going to juice as i dont want to miss out on key nutrients. Jucing allows me to eat my veggies and take my liquid vitamins all in an 8 ounce cup. I can also mask the taste of the ones i dont like but need by using tons of ginger in the juice. Even if it goes over my calorie count. I am fine with that as it is good calories. As for side effects, when i just started taking it, it would make my heart race, make me super thirsty and sometimes make me feel nauseous. I combat that by drinking lots of water, which we need anyways and walking to get some of the energy out. Overall, my aim is to correct my eating habits and to form new work out habits that i can sustain. I am thankful for this pill.
Hi Sasha, please dont be so harsh on yourself. Your comment has inspired me. : ) I am currently at 190 and my goal is 165 and reading your comment and time frame of only 2 months excites me! Congrats on your progress!
@@jasminespears2903 thank you. I totally forgot about this! Well 2 years later and I am tethering between 168 and 170. Kept 15lbs off but I am back on the weight loss journey. This time I am trying to get to 145/150. Things i have learned since then... motivation will not stick so having a plan and being consistent helps. I like to do monthly challenges and start over every month. Too long of a plan discourages me. I have a planner that i create a little daily to do list for myself. I include things like face rountine (i use to go to bed with make up on), body rountine( gotta moisturize), carlorie deficit and exercise. Then i use little symbols to show which ones i completed for that day and put a sticker beside it if I did. Its good to look back on for progress and the little girl inside me still likes stickers lol. I also learned that Special gyms or diets don't work. Find an exercise that you like to do and do that. Or sprinkle something you like to do inbetween the exercises. For me, that is swimming on the days I am not at the gym. Also, Get a calorie deficit and try to eat better but dont do extreme exclusions. It isnt sustainable. 1 day you are going to be sad or the hormones will kick in and you are going to want something sweet. Its ok. Just count it in your calorie intake for the day. I use my fitness pal to help with food measurements. My current rountine is 3 day in the gym and swim in between those days. I end up doing some sort of movement for 5 days out the week. Planet fitness is cheap and gives you a free *personal trainer* so I signed up and got a 3 day work out plan. Swimming is more fun than exercise for me but its good cardio to do in the summer as it's hotter than the devils butthole right now. On evening where I don't feel like I did much, I take a walk in the evening after dinner. It clears my mind and I sleep better. You got this! Good luck on your journey
Great update on Phentermine. This gives me the verbage to use with my physician in regards to continuing use as maintenance or off label. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge and helpful encouragement. Would love additional videos on other weight loss subjects. Intermittent fasting? ( Eating only during 8 hour window and fasting for 16 hours) Coffee or tea as appetite suppressents? Etc Etc. Thanks! Best UA-cam Channel!
@@barbaraceballos4263 I'm just eating nothing but green vegetables and rostierrie chicken breast also I drink plenty of water and have a cheat meal once a week.
Barbara Ceballos I am on it currently and I am eating yoghurt with fruit for breakfast, brown rice with smoked salmon for lunch and for dinner vegetables, but I barely finish anything, maybe like I eat a quarter of it. And I take a multivitamin and vitamin B complex and some nutritional yeast for B12
I am so grateful to have found your videos. I was prescribed phentermine a couple years ago and did fantastic. I was able to drop 40 pounds in 3 months but had so much anxiety when my doctor discontinued it because no one actually taught me how to manage my weight loss while I was on it to give me confidence to maintain when I was off it. I have since gained all but 10 pounds back after 2 years and asked to go back on it. So, hopefully with all these great tips I will better prepare during the process to maintain when I'm off. By the way, that off the label suggestion to maintain would probably be a good idea for me if my doctor is willing to do it.
I have lupus and slowly gained weight over 13 years.... I had lost 140lbs and gained 80 back..... my doctor suggested phentermine..... he spent time explaining.....and with other health issues, we decided we would do this.....
I will say that I definitely noticed a difference when I took my phentermine pill with / without food. If I took it without food, I was level-minded throughout the day and not obsessing over food. Taking my phentermine with food however, I definitely continue to feel hungry throughout the day. The only problem I have with phentermine is if I don’t take it extremely early in the day, I will stay up all night. I had to stop taking it for a few days to get my sleep schedule readjusted.
I was thinking the same thing. I had to stop taking it during exams because my memory was slacking off because of lack of sleep. I was sleeping 8hrs a night, but not getting any deep sleep. Ill check with/without food like you said.
I started Phentermine and metformin together yesterday I have pcos so it’s very difficult for me to loose weight but very fast to gain it and all I think about is food. This medication has completely eliminated my hunger and craving . Even tho I have to eat with my metformin that’s the only meal I have and the rest of the day is water. I do feel very jittery and dry mouth but in two days I’ve lost 2 1-2 lbs so I’m super excited to continue
Hello. I just started on Phentermine today. Years ago, I was on Phen-Fen and lost 50 lbs in about 1 1/2 months. Unfortunately, being younger and having had a weight problem for the majority of my life, I thought that it was my 'unicorn gift'. And of course, i gained all of the weight plus 50lbs more. Now, I'm truly listening to my body and it doesn't process dairy or meat well at all. So, now I'm eating a vegetarian diet and I feel much better. I have a total of 80 lbs to lose but I do believe that phentermine will help. THANK YOU for your informative videos :)
Thank you so much for this information. What do we do to stay energized after coming off of the meds? How do we train our brains to continue to think the same way about food after the meds are over?
@@c.t.3569 I believe you have to eat a regular amount of calories and exercise while on it so that when you get off of it you can't still eat the same amount without gaining back your weight. Also continue exercising. I would say to use the time on the phentermine to learn how to eat healthier and continue doing that when the weight.loss is accomplished therefore not setting yourself up for gaining all the weight back and then some.
@@robertamandab7932this is my exact goal for when i start taking the medication. Focus completely on forming better habits so that by the time I don’t take phen anymore , I’m used to eating healthy.
I like this video I’m 150 pounds I started 15mg phentermine but I walk 30 min fasting every morning lift weights twice a week my pcp monitors me once a month , I take 1/2 banana glass of water with it then go on my walk. Lunch I do protein grilled chicken and nothing past 7pm if I do cup of popcorn water all day
Big plus for your honesty. It's not such a terrible thing that a physician can prescribe another 3-month script the next day. Like you said, a thorough physician will perform some BP checks and other things in that time anyway. It's also cool that the FDA put the 3-month limit as well. It formalises the right of physicians to exercise their discretion beyond what a patient may see fit for themselves; which on many occasions can be recreational use. Between the FDA requirements, an honest patient and a physician's good judgement, a near-perfect result can be achieved which can truly make a significant impact on a person's life and genuine well-being.
Thank you for your helpful information.. I do at times struggle with anxiety and I don’t drink caffeine in any form because of that. So knowing how to play with the dose by cutting it in half or taking it with food was very helpful. As I’m going to start taking Phentermine in a week or so after my HCG is done. I didn’t feel HCG really worked for me so want to try Phentermine now that I’m older. I tried it in my younger years when I didn’t have anxiety issues so was wary of it this time around..
My doctor just prescribed me phentermine today. He has worked with me over the last 7 years since my daughter was born to lose the weight i gained during that pregnancy. 175-245. Over thise years I made lifestyle changes including cutting out soda, swapping sugar for alulose in anything I make myself, swapping all purpose flour for buckwheat flour, drinking a gallon of water a day (on topomax for chronic migrain3 so this is more to avoid kidney stones but it helps with the weight too) stopped eating root vegetables and swapped potatoes and rice out for riced cauliflower, gave up beef and instead if we eat red meat at all it is game meat (venison or bison) or we eat chicken or turkey. Beans, green leaf lettuce instead of iceberg. Had another baby in those 7 years and managed to lose the few pounds I gained during that pregnancy immediately after son was born so literally all weight I gained was him and his twin I lost in utero + placenta and amniotic fluid putting me still firmly at 245. And the changes have worked because deapite not doing anything other than changing our eating habits my husband has lost 20lbs over those 7 years while I have stayed at 245. My doctor says that in and of itself is impressive because I also became disabled in those 7 years so any high impact workouts are off the table. Just my physical therapy is exhausting and yet I've still managed to stay 245 instead of gaining any more weight. He also said my changes are probably why I'm not diabetic despite family history. He's hoping the phentermine will help me lose enough to lessen the strain on my joints to ease some of the discomfort from my disability, that it will get my BP back to a normal range (it became hypertensive during pregnancy and never returned to normal) and that the changes i made will be enough to maintain the weight loss and the energy boost will help me be able to do a little more so I do t feel so exhausted co stantly, though he admits its all up in the air since my fatigue is tied to my autoimmune diseases (RA and PsA) and not directly to my weight itself. Here's hoping. I want to feel better for my two young children. In their short lives they've never seen me without my SD, cane or rollator. I'd love to retire the cane and walker until my SD is old and gray
I wish I lived in your area and could come see you my provider told me she doesn't prescribe weight loss medications. Her solution is to diet and exercise more

God Bless you. Thank you for your honesty. I am transitioning to a plant based diet, I suffer from Lupus and People rave about how much better they feel. But I did have to force myself to eat even on day one with this medication but I did it. Don't want to loose weight by starving been there done that and got fat.
Thank you so much for all of your videos. I have learned so much. I started phentermine in late May and as of now I have lost 22lbs and hope to keep losing to get to my goal weight! This will be my last month on phentermine and I hope my doctor will allow me to keep using it as I still need to lose about 20 more pounds. Please keep making these videos!! You're awesome!!
I am starting this medication now .. I’ve been following you for sometime .. I am happy that I found this video about this medication .. Thank you so much 😊 .. Take care and God Bless you and your family 🙏🏼
This has been so helpful to me. I wish you would do a series on combating weightloss while going through menopause because I'm struggling. I workout, walk, swim, play tennis, zumba, etc weekly and not one pound lost in 6months. I truly believe its due to menopause.
It is due to menopause. I didn't ever struggle with weight gain until menopause and if I just eat a bite of something like a French fry or yogurt I gain several pounds and I too watch my calories , exercise 3 to 5 days a week. Been on strict diets off and on since menopause and it is difficult when everyone wants to go out to eat! Everything has to be cooked at home so you regulate butter and oils and creams. Just recently started Phetermine and the wt. DR. TOLD me thatI need to do more weight lifting exercise at my age because the biking , walking, aerobics and stair master was just spinning my wheels at my age and I would gain all my weight back if I didn't... so I now am doing more wt. Training. Hope it works. Just FYI , if you want to try that
Doc, I am taking phentermine 37.5mg and judging my own trials on it I noticed its anorexic effects lasts about 10-12 hours. If I take it too early in the morning by evening the hunger shows up and I am still too far away from bedtime. If I take it by noon I am finding it difficult to fall asleep at my ordinary bedtime. What's your thoughts?
I take mine around 10am and it will last until 8pm. If I take it too early I'm starving by the evening but it's never effected my sleep pattern though.
cut it in half and dose it half a tablet twice daily (if you have capsules they do come as tablets or you can have your provider write for 15 mg ) That strategy has worked well for several of my patients.
I have been on it before when I was younger and it helped. Now being the biggest I have ever been I am on phentermine and topamax. In day 3 now thank you so much.
I had several friends that lost 50 to 80 pounds. Unfortunately for me didn't work. I lost maybe a few pounds. 6 months. Yes I tried hard and drank water. Later I found out I had a thyroid issue and going into menopause because of it. Wish I had the success the other people did.
I went from 184 to 164 between May-mid July, honestly still ate the same like half healthy and sometimes junk food but in moderation and small portions cuz I got full fast. then went back to school and was still coming down, had loose skin so I started jogging in August. I do cardio machines for a half an hour like twice a week and my heart rate is in the fat burn zone like maybe once or twice a day and high Cardio zones when I workout. I didn’t have a scale at school, I have like three meals just to have energy throughout the day and barely even finish it cuz my appetite is small. Cuz I’m in college again I have had takeout a few times but again would get full pretty fast or eat small portions and I make my own food in the caf like a rap with real cheese and chicken or something and lots of guacamole (splurged on ice cream or cake a lot admittedly) but still physically looked like I was maintaining and losing more and more. But I visit home this weekend (end of September) and use the scale for the first time in over a month and I’m back up to 178 like I wanna fucking cry (I’m just finishing up my period so it could be bloat?). I weighed myself first thing this morning still 178 but i KNOW I look smaller still but it’s confusing cuz I have different mirrors that make my face look bigger at school etc and like it’s very misleading. Idk if I just gained muscle or not cuz I feel like I’m still really small now and my skin got tighter legs got stronger but it’s hard to tell by looking at myself to see. But like I haven’t worked out this much honestly in years so like is this a case of weight is just a number??? HOW did I just go back up basically undoing EVERYTHING in like a month while working out and eating small portions?? I gotta start taking progress pictures and again I still feel smaller and even like my fupa looks smaller and in general I look less bloated. So the muscle thing? Water weight? Period bloat? Ughhh
This video was very helpful to me, I started taking Phentermine capsules ( which I love because of they are timed release)in January and the first month I didn't lose pounds however I lost 4 inches. But I haven't lose anymore and am very discouraged but watching this video made me realize that in the beginning I would take it with a protein shake upon waking up but now I take it then have my coffee then breakfast 1&1/2 to 2 hours later. Tomorrow I will start taking it with my breakfast and hope that will do the trick! wish me luck!
You know what's crazy.... When I started phentermine, it gave me so much energy that I worked out twice a day (I'd go for a jog/run in the morning, come back home then do a beachbody workout (p90x, etc. I did 3 or 4 programs total). Anyways, my point is that it made me more focused than I've ever been. I thought this was from losing weight and being able to think more clear etc..... fast forward 6 or 7 years later to today, I just learned I am ADHD!!! I stopped taking Phentermine because I wanted to BULK up via dirty bulking, didn't turn out too well unfortunately. I am now on Ritalin and am more motivated and focused than I've been in years since I've stopped taking phentermine. I believe the chemical makeup of Phentermine, Adderall, Ritalin, are very similar right? So did Phentermine help my ADHD too?
I enjoy viewing your videos. Very helpful and insightful. Would you be willing to do a video on a standard eating plan while on Phentermine? Or restricted calorie diet on Phentermine?
Hi im so glad i came across you on here, im a lupus patient and im on predisone and my weight goes way up and when this happens i dont feel well at all, loss of breath, fatigue and so forth, the first time i went to him i was 180 cause of the predisone, i loose alot of weight, and im like "Huh" and everyone was so shocked that i probably got worst with my illness. I was so happy had lots of energy i wore my daughter's clothes cause she is very petite and buys nice stuff..No im not ashame of saying i wear her stuff cause she does with some of mines lol.. So my ? to you is now my weight is back and my dr is way up in New jersey and at times i do not feel well to travel so far.. I spoke to him about me taking the pill and he suggested since i don't want to travel this far if my rheumatologist said my vitals are ok i can start the phentermine i have left but start with half in the morning and the other half at 12 noon and see how it goes...im sorry for talking too much, is it safe to do so? At first i use to take 1 pill at around 7am along with a vitamin pill, fish oil, vitamin b12 and it worked well... Its 1 wk now and when i take half the pill i dont feel any impact😔 im wondering if i should take 1 pill morning and see how it goes. Can i take 1 pill in the Am and 1 at 12 to see how it goes?
Hello I have SLE Lupus I wanted to know your results after a year ago. My main concerns is my nerve pain currently it is electrifying I am not sleeping well for the first night on the pill I will gradually take my vitamins but I wanted to see the side effects. So far it does help you focus, energy I did yoga,mediation, clean house and rode my bike for the first time. So I am hopeful. I was not sure if I should take aide to sleep. Thanks in advance Butterfly
My dr started me on the 15 mg dose. I don’t feel like I have to taken anything. Don’t feel anything. I don’t have any side effects either. Should I ask him to higher the dose. I’m also on a low carb and low calorie diet. Keeping a log.
I started taking it 10 days ago but have only had 3 so far. It works well but makes my anxiety worse and agitated/grumpy. The last time I took it I couldn’t sleep and got a little chest pain, I told my doctor and she just said that’s interesting and didn’t check anything lol so I guess she isn’t worried. I’m only 32 years old and healthy but 15-20kg overweight
I have been on Phentermine for 5 weeks now, can someone recommend when I should workout in the morning or evening timeframe. I currently lost 20 lbs so far and I have 50 lbs to go
Kevin Rought That’s awesome, I just started taking phentermine and I find that it definitely increases my energy and decreases my appetite. I am also fasting (16:8), which means for me I don’t eat from 8 pm to 12 pm. During that time I take my dosage of phentermine in the am and about 30 minutes after I work out. This way I’m burning calories throughout my day. Hope my experience helps as much as yours has motivated me☺️
One last thing... It does not suppress my appetite and I am constantly hungry because I am working out a lot and constantly running after my toddler....
I took this after I had my first baby one lost 40 pounds!! I'm taking it now after my second and I've only lost 12 pounds in 4 months of taking it! Any suggestions on why I'm not losing like I did the first time?
I took phentermine in 2008 and I are 0 food items for 30 days. I lost 48 pounds in 30 days. Ass and tits were wrinkled and empty. Arms were wrinkled too. My energy levels were low but after the first week I was great. Not hungry at all. I stayed on that for 69 days and lost a total of 130 pounds. I also starred walking at whatever pace for one hour a day. Weight stayed off for 7 years. I'm fat again and started it again 3 days ago. My pills cost 28$ for 30 and so far day 3 I'm hungry. But food will not kill me any longer. I just want my blood pressure gone. I would eat but literally when I bite food and it hits my belly I feel sick af!
If I'm understanding your note, I would be very careful about that strategy. A consultation with a good dietician or nutritionist would be a good idea. Let them go over with you a good way to keep at your healthy weight. The myfitnesspal app is a good one to calculate your calorie intake depending upon what you would like to do.
My doctor prescribed me phentermine to take along side with metformin. I am on day 2. The first time which was yesterday when I took them. I felt horrible my heart was racing I couldn't concentrate. I felt like vomiting and continued to feel like that all day. But I then figured out it was probably because I didn't eat while taking the pills. So today I ate breakfast. An egg white mcmuffin and some apple slices with lots of water. I honestly feel so much better than how I felt yesterday. Have you heard of anyone taking both at the same time?
Not going to lie. I bought mine online, without a prescription, without any sort of monitoring. The 1st time I took it I felt so jittery where I wanted to scream. I started taking it with food and it no longer did this. I ended up losing 20 pounds in 1 month and kept it off for 3 months now. Worked wonders for me.
Hi Doctor! I am interested in Phentermine but I realise that I have a good grip on my appetite since I've cut down carbs. Almost down to 10 grams. I was wondering what else could I take in order to help me loose weight.

I honestly can report to everyone that without Phentermine all I think about is FOOD. My mind is constantly thinking about when I get to eat next and what the next yummy, delicious item is that will be participating in a Party In My Mouth. Phentermine? takes these THOUGHTS AWAY. I have no idea how this works, but you seriously stop thinking about food. You're not disgusted by the thought of food, it just is not something you think about. You start thinking about other things like paying your bills and when was the last time you did laundry and stuff like that.
Amanda Garcia I feel like this all the time (obsessing about food). I'm gonna try it. Did you lose weight ?
I am hoping that my doctor will be willing to subscribe it. I take Effexor for anxiety, but have never had a blood pressure problem, although I am about 60 lbs overweight. I really believe it would help my overall health.
If you think constantly about food you need more than just a diet....
Amanda Garcia i agree
That sounds amazing, I need to get some
I’ve been on and off of phentermine now since December 2020. I have lost a total of 70lbs. We do one month on and one month off. No skin issues, no weight gain at all, and it’s helped me to get in the habit of working out and eating healthily everyday.
THATS AWESOME!!! :"D
How do you deal with loose skin? Have lost more weight
Down 22 pounds in 1 month so it works for me. Still have around 30 to 40 pounds to go. I skip breakfast lunch and snacks and only eat dinner. Gave up diet Pepsi and drink 60 plus oz of water a day.
Kristi Vaughan how did you stop the soda? Tips please
Im going into my second week, now at 37.5 rather the past week at 18.5. It helps def, also with my focus. What pointers or help do u have for me. I work fulltime, keep up w.7kids, and going into my second week w.no loss yet.
any updates one year later?
@@amybrevard3800 I haven’t drake soda in a very long time, I recommend drinking plenty of water. If you don’t like the taste of water there is sparkling water and drops to add flavor in ur water. Also, if that is too hard to do suddenly, cut back slowly or substitute soda for a healthy juice that doesn’t have a lot of sugar.
@Heather Starker You only gain the weight back if you starve your body on it. Make sure your still eating at least 1200 cals a day and get into the habit of eating clean so you don’t crave a whole bunch of food at once. Also, drink plenty of water after you get off of it.
After so much searching finally found a real doctor to explain this pill. Most are just normal people with the same knowledge as me😂😂
i have always love eating and that made me lose weight super hard, tried a lot of diets and exercises along with it, but what made it possible was agoge diet. it changed my life, and maybe yours as well
i lost wieght fast but honestly you it just makes me very thirsty so i drink lots of water thats why i think ive lost wieght more water less food!!
Me too I drink a ton of water a day! Water helps soooooo much people need to be drinking 20x more than eating makes a world of difference
This is my second day on phentermine and I feel great! It is truly amazing how it takes the food obsessive thoughts/emotional eating component away which has always been my struggle. My hope is that once I go off I'll be able to keep it off since I will be breaking bad habits while on the medication like snacking at night. Would love to hear from amyone who has taken phentermine and has had success keeping the weight off without having to go back on the medication. Also hope I can lower my AcC which is why I am on it. My goal is 30 pounds! Wish me luck!
I'm starting these tomorrow 05/07/2021. My doctor prescribed them to me yesterday 05/05/21 .
I have been trying to loose weight for 2 years. I was 145 and went up to 200 lbs (current weight). I'm considered obese at this point. And I workout every single day.
So lets see if they work for me. I'm also going to be eating 1200 calories. No sugar, no fried food, and no bread, rice and tortillas.
And I will also be doing my regular workouts at 7am (HIIT workouts for 1 to 2 hours a day, and I will try to walk 10,000 steps a day.)
UPDATES:
05/14/2021 - lost 11lbs, New weight: 189.0
I was prescribed on 05/06/21 and started taking them today 0507/21! Good luck. I took them in 2004 for a boost and they work. Drink plenty of water and take a multi vitamin. You won't be eating the same so you have to keep nutrients in your body. If not your hair will get brittle.
@@felicia1254 thank you so much for the tips! I really hope to see some results!
I started 4/28/2021. First week I lost 4lbs! You do have to eat through out the day as I forgot to eat and started feeling nauseous. So healthy snacks is good to have around. I am going to try cutting it in half like she recommend as I’m finding it’s wearing off in the evening. But so far I’m really liking it! Good luck!
@@NatNun yeah I have been cutting my pill in half as well. And I'm eating every 2 hours.
9am Breakfast
11am Snack
1pm lunch
3pm snack
5pm dinner
And I have been drinking so much water.
I will be updating my weight on May 14, hopefully I lose weight on my first week. 🤞🏼
And good luck to you too 😊
@@felicia1254 @Natalie nunez
I'm so happy, I have lost weight on my first week. I updated my weight on my original post 👆🏼
4yrs later and this video is just what I needed, thank you
I’m Type2. I was taking metformin with a crappy diet. My fasting blood sugar was 282-300. I still take metformin and I’m doing keto along with phentermine. After 1 week my fasting sugar is 125. The phentermine helps my urges to over eat. I love it so far and I’m down 12 pounds in almost a month.
I recently started this medication three days ago and i eased myself into it i forst did 1/4th then half and today a whole pill I have really bad anxiety about medicine and that halped alot i feel energized and happy I haven't noticed any mood swings littlw dry mouth
Phentermine is awesome. Lost 30 lbs in 2 months. Be careful you don't mess up a few days after meds are over when the beast returns. By beast I literally mean I cornered a plate of cookies like a lion penning in gazelles against rocks. No gazelles lived that day my friends. And girlfriend lion's treat for coworkers mysteriously disappeared.
How did you lose the weight..I've lost 8 my first week I'm in my second and haven't lost anything
@@cheyennehartin The first part (2-4 days) I just felt light nausea, didn't eat too much. The second part (week 1 to week 8) I just barely ate (from 4 meals a day and snacking to maybe 2 meals a day). My stomach would growl but no connection to the brain that I was hungry. After a while it does plateau so you can come off of it for a month or two. This is where the danger is for sweets and snacking. Then after 2 more months, I'm back on it again. I lost a total of 30 initially, gained 5 back, and anticipate losing around 18 this next 2 months. I've also cut out soft drinks and have started ordering from a meal prep service (Clean Eatz) to get healthier portioned meals. Goal is to form the habit of consistent water intake as well and then when coming off of it again in 60 days, re-introduce myself to the gym.
My tips are
Water water water, drink plenty of water throughout the day
Set alarms in your phone to remind yourself to eat regularly
Eat higher protein to discourage muscle loss, And fibre to discourage the constipation
Find a exercise that you don't mind that you can do each day like taking the dog for a walk or an exercise routine from UA-cam.
I'm down 90+ lbs since 3/23. I do 2 months on 1 month off.
Wow! Are you also do a crazy amount of exercise and other stuff. How much are you eating in a day: eating 1 times a day, 2 times a day, etc.
@TURTLEORIGINAL I'm not working out really. My job is pretty physical. I walk maybe 5+ mi. a day at work. I stretch and do push-ups, planks, and squats every morning and before bed but not to an extreme. It takes @10 minutes. I'm usually not hungry in the morning so I'll eat @3pm and I'm good for the day. Something with lots of protein. No breads or sodas. Lots of water. The good thing about the phentermine is that it makes you thirsty and food isn't really tasty. So I usually just eat because I know I need to eat something and not because I'm hungry.
@@ernestsantana449how has your sleep been during this time for you? Do you feel anxious at all?
@@breannarobertson1471 my sleep pattern has always been crazy because of work. I generally get 6 hours of sleep with no specific bedtime. I did find it harder to sleep for about 2 weeks and I never had anxiety. It did mess with my urinating though. I know this might be TMI but I had to really push to get a urine stream even though I knew I had to go. It was very strange. I thought it was a prostate problem but it wasn't. Just a side effect.
I am on day 1, and based on the reviews I am so freaking excited!!!! I cannot wait until a month from now to see how much weight I will lose. I do exercise 3 times a week at Planet Fitness for about an hour. So this pill in conjunction with exercise should definitely get me to my weight loss goal. My physician instructed me to come back in a month for evaluation. Good luck to you all who are already on it or about to start.
Life of a Mom it’s been a year. Did it work?
How did it work for you???
@@candisharie I just finished my first month and I'm down 20 lbs it's pretty easy since the medicine takes away your appetite
It worked for me now i cant stand fat foods and sugar from 80kg dow to 57, size 40 down to 28
Africa unite Talkshow are you Exercising while taking it ?
@@tayclair2359 no i did not
Africa unite Talkshow amazing job!!
I just started and um on 100kg i hope it helps
How long
I started taking this drug about a week ago and I still haven’t felt hungry since it kicked in on day 1. It’s amazing and it’s easier to eat healthy because since I’m not hungry I don’t get cravings for bad food.
Did you get it through your physician?
Sasha-Ann Lewis yes. Not that expensive either
What kind of physician should i seek to get provided?
MsAzalia2010 ask your primary care doctor
Im currently on day 2 . Yesterday i was feeling very down but no hunger whatsoever or other side effects. Today im more energized and not thinking about eating... Im excited for this journey
Yeeees!! also change your diet!!!!! DON'T LIVE IT ALL TO THE PILL. ...DO YOUR PART!!☝☝☝☝👊😬😄
True
i have severe BED (binge eating disorder) and this drug is the only thing that has helped me to not overeat, you do have to up your water intake a lot though. but it’s worked very well so far
Awesome, informative video. Thank you for making this. Phentermine has helped control my cravings while eating a healthy diet. It has helped me lose 10 lbs so far. If I don't take phentermine, my body wants to binge eat and I really really do not want to go down that path.
Have you kept the weight off?
On day two of half a pill per day. So yesterday i was able to skip lunch! I had fat free greek yogurt for bkfst and asalad with grilled chicken for dinner. Got lil hungry round 9 but i go to bed at that time so it passed. I think full dose would make me too nervous. Half dose is great and lasted till 9 pm. I took it at 8 am
Thank you for taking the time to share your expertise and professional opinion with us.
It works for me. But in my personal case, it helps me make better food choices and I exercise regularly. Only when I am doing both does it work wonderful. It is not a miracle pill, you have to put in the work 👍
This is my 3rd week and I agree. I've been making a lot of healthier choices and being active. I have a lot of energy from Phen and that motivates me.
Thank you so much! This drug is so good and I have dropped 6 pounds this week on just half a 37.5 dose. I am a runner and I was running and then eating back my calories. This drug has helped me eat smaller healthy portions and I'm finally seeing fat loss results from the workouts. Used to be after an 8 mile run, my appetite was out of control and just couldn't get enough food..because of your info, it's understood how appetite works and this drug has stopped those annoying hunger pains! Again can't thank you enough! 👏🏻👍🏻
kelly wombles do it really work
kelly wombles think you my first time which love it
kelly wombles I want to talk to my doctor about it
I’m doing the same thing. Lost 14 so far.
I'm on day 2 of taking Phentermine and finding it very helpful to watch your videos. You're helping me to understand a lot of thins about this weight loss journey. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos.
any update on weight loss?
These videos really gave me so much information and helped me feel a lot better about taking Phentermine because I was afraid to at first with all the bad side effects. I start taking them tomorrow. Wish me luck and thanks again!
PinkPearl how is it going with you
So what happen
Ok update on my journey. This video is almost 4 years old and it helped me alot so follow her advise and you will be good. I have been taking it for 2 months now, about to request my third batch this month. I started at 185 and now i am down to 165. Not the greatest success as I have heard alot of people loose way more but I am still happy with my progress. The first month didnt do much for me because of covid, job loss and having to move. However, like everyone else, reality sunk in and i made the best of the situation and found a new routine. After i moved and had less things to stress over, i started walking everyday. That was a mistake because i got the worst blisters. I bought new shoes and it was still the same. So thats advice number 1, Dont over do it. Now i walk 5 days a week, about 8 miles per day and i look forward to it. Starting today, i signed up for an online zoom workout class with a trainer so i am excited for that. I plan to do my regular walks and 3 days of zoom exercises. I start by taking the pill in the morning around 8:30am with water. Any later, i have issues sleeping. Try not to take it too early either, i feel it doesnt work if you do. The pill works for me by keeping me fuller longer. Think of it like any other pill, it wears off just the same. So as she says, you can break it in half and take half now and half later. The pill allows me to not over eat or snack during the day. When i do eat, i try to make better food choices. I will also be jumping back on my calorie counting this month and introduce juicing into my diet. I am going to juice as i dont want to miss out on key nutrients. Jucing allows me to eat my veggies and take my liquid vitamins all in an 8 ounce cup. I can also mask the taste of the ones i dont like but need by using tons of ginger in the juice. Even if it goes over my calorie count. I am fine with that as it is good calories. As for side effects, when i just started taking it, it would make my heart race, make me super thirsty and sometimes make me feel nauseous. I combat that by drinking lots of water, which we need anyways and walking to get some of the energy out. Overall, my aim is to correct my eating habits and to form new work out habits that i can sustain. I am thankful for this pill.
Hi Sasha, please dont be so harsh on yourself. Your comment has inspired me. : ) I am currently at 190 and my goal is 165 and reading your comment and time frame of only 2 months excites me! Congrats on your progress!
@@jasminespears2903 thank you. I totally forgot about this! Well 2 years later and I am tethering between 168 and 170. Kept 15lbs off but I am back on the weight loss journey. This time I am trying to get to 145/150.
Things i have learned since then... motivation will not stick so having a plan and being consistent helps. I like to do monthly challenges and start over every month. Too long of a plan discourages me. I have a planner that i create a little daily to do list for myself. I include things like face rountine (i use to go to bed with make up on), body rountine( gotta moisturize), carlorie deficit and exercise. Then i use little symbols to show which ones i completed for that day and put a sticker beside it if I did. Its good to look back on for progress and the little girl inside me still likes stickers lol.
I also learned that Special gyms or diets don't work. Find an exercise that you like to do and do that. Or sprinkle something you like to do inbetween the exercises. For me, that is swimming on the days I am not at the gym.
Also, Get a calorie deficit and try to eat better but dont do extreme exclusions. It isnt sustainable. 1 day you are going to be sad or the hormones will kick in and you are going to want something sweet. Its ok. Just count it in your calorie intake for the day. I use my fitness pal to help with food measurements.
My current rountine is 3 day in the gym and swim in between those days. I end up doing some sort of movement for 5 days out the week. Planet fitness is cheap and gives you a free *personal trainer* so I signed up and got a 3 day work out plan. Swimming is more fun than exercise for me but its good cardio to do in the summer as it's hotter than the devils butthole right now. On evening where I don't feel like I did much, I take a walk in the evening after dinner. It clears my mind and I sleep better.
You got this! Good luck on your journey
Great update on Phentermine. This gives me the verbage to use with my physician in regards to continuing use as maintenance or off label. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge and helpful encouragement. Would love additional videos on other weight loss subjects. Intermittent fasting? ( Eating only during 8 hour window and fasting for 16 hours) Coffee or tea as appetite suppressents? Etc Etc. Thanks! Best UA-cam Channel!
I took the pill along with exercising I lost 20 pound in 3 weeks
What kind of diet were you on?
@@barbaraceballos4263 I'm just eating nothing but green vegetables and rostierrie chicken breast also I drink plenty of water and have a cheat meal once a week.
Barbara Ceballos I am on it currently and I am eating yoghurt with fruit for breakfast, brown rice with smoked salmon for lunch and for dinner vegetables, but I barely finish anything, maybe like I eat a quarter of it. And I take a multivitamin and vitamin B complex and some nutritional yeast for B12
Would a doctor prescribe it for me if I weigh 146 trying to get down to my normal weight at 120
That the same with me this is my second week I’m already 12 pounds down
I am so grateful to have found your videos. I was prescribed phentermine a couple years ago and did fantastic. I was able to drop 40 pounds in 3 months but had so much anxiety when my doctor discontinued it because no one actually taught me how to manage my weight loss while I was on it to give me confidence to maintain when I was off it. I have since gained all but 10 pounds back after 2 years and asked to go back on it. So, hopefully with all these great tips I will better prepare during the process to maintain when I'm off. By the way, that off the label suggestion to maintain would probably be a good idea for me if my doctor is willing to do it.
JNBaccus thank you God
Very good
I have lupus and slowly gained weight over 13 years.... I had lost 140lbs and gained 80 back..... my doctor suggested phentermine..... he spent time explaining.....and with other health issues, we decided we would do this.....
I will say that I definitely noticed a difference when I took my phentermine pill with / without food. If I took it without food, I was level-minded throughout the day and not obsessing over food. Taking my phentermine with food however, I definitely continue to feel hungry throughout the day. The only problem I have with phentermine is if I don’t take it extremely early in the day, I will stay up all night. I had to stop taking it for a few days to get my sleep schedule readjusted.
How your weight loss journey been going??
I was thinking the same thing. I had to stop taking it during exams because my memory was slacking off because of lack of sleep. I was sleeping 8hrs a night, but not getting any deep sleep. Ill check with/without food like you said.
I started Phentermine and metformin together yesterday I have pcos so it’s very difficult for me to loose weight but very fast to gain it and all I think about is food. This medication has completely eliminated my hunger and craving . Even tho I have to eat with my metformin that’s the only meal
I have and the rest of the day is water. I do feel very jittery and dry mouth but in two days I’ve lost 2 1-2 lbs so I’m super excited to continue
Frida Sandoval I have Pcos and it sucks
Hello. I just started on Phentermine today. Years ago, I was on Phen-Fen and lost 50 lbs in about 1 1/2 months. Unfortunately, being younger and having had a weight problem for the majority of my life, I thought that it was my 'unicorn gift'. And of course, i gained all of the weight plus 50lbs more. Now, I'm truly listening to my body and it doesn't process dairy or meat well at all. So, now I'm eating a vegetarian diet and I feel much better. I have a total of 80 lbs to lose but I do believe that phentermine will help. THANK YOU for your informative videos :)
4 years later and still helping(:
Thank you ♡
Thank you so much for this information. What do we do to stay energized after coming off of the meds? How do we train our brains to continue to think the same way about food after the meds are over?
That’s what I want to know
@@c.t.3569 I believe you have to eat a regular amount of calories and exercise while on it so that when you get off of it you can't still eat the same amount without gaining back your weight. Also continue exercising. I would say to use the time on the phentermine to learn how to eat healthier and continue doing that when the weight.loss is accomplished therefore not setting yourself up for gaining all the weight back and then some.
@@robertamandab7932this is my exact goal for when i start taking the medication. Focus completely on forming better habits so that by the time I don’t take phen anymore , I’m used to eating healthy.
Sleep deprivation is the hardest part with this drug for me. Working out twice a day does help.
Emanuel Gonzalez take Benadryl
Unisom
Same
I like this video I’m 150 pounds I started 15mg phentermine but I walk 30 min fasting every morning lift weights twice a week my pcp monitors me once a month , I take 1/2 banana glass of water with it then go on my walk. Lunch I do protein grilled chicken and nothing past 7pm if I do cup of popcorn water all day
Big plus for your honesty. It's not such a terrible thing that a physician can prescribe another 3-month script the next day. Like you said, a thorough physician will perform some BP checks and other things in that time anyway. It's also cool that the FDA put the 3-month limit as well. It formalises the right of physicians to exercise their discretion beyond what a patient may see fit for themselves; which on many occasions can be recreational use. Between the FDA requirements, an honest patient and a physician's good judgement, a near-perfect result can be achieved which can truly make a significant impact on a person's life and genuine well-being.
Great information!! I've been on it for 5 weeks. I feel it's working for me.
Great to hear about the various ways you can consider taking this off label. Great insight!
Thank you for your helpful information.. I do at times struggle with anxiety and I don’t drink caffeine in any form because of that. So knowing how to play with the dose by cutting it in half or taking it with food was very helpful. As I’m going to start taking Phentermine in a week or so after my HCG is done. I didn’t feel HCG really worked for me so want to try Phentermine now that I’m older. I tried it in my younger years when I didn’t have anxiety issues so was wary of it this time around..
My doctor just prescribed me phentermine today. He has worked with me over the last 7 years since my daughter was born to lose the weight i gained during that pregnancy. 175-245. Over thise years I made lifestyle changes including cutting out soda, swapping sugar for alulose in anything I make myself, swapping all purpose flour for buckwheat flour, drinking a gallon of water a day (on topomax for chronic migrain3 so this is more to avoid kidney stones but it helps with the weight too) stopped eating root vegetables and swapped potatoes and rice out for riced cauliflower, gave up beef and instead if we eat red meat at all it is game meat (venison or bison) or we eat chicken or turkey. Beans, green leaf lettuce instead of iceberg. Had another baby in those 7 years and managed to lose the few pounds I gained during that pregnancy immediately after son was born so literally all weight I gained was him and his twin I lost in utero + placenta and amniotic fluid putting me still firmly at 245. And the changes have worked because deapite not doing anything other than changing our eating habits my husband has lost 20lbs over those 7 years while I have stayed at 245. My doctor says that in and of itself is impressive because I also became disabled in those 7 years so any high impact workouts are off the table. Just my physical therapy is exhausting and yet I've still managed to stay 245 instead of gaining any more weight. He also said my changes are probably why I'm not diabetic despite family history. He's hoping the phentermine will help me lose enough to lessen the strain on my joints to ease some of the discomfort from my disability, that it will get my BP back to a normal range (it became hypertensive during pregnancy and never returned to normal) and that the changes i made will be enough to maintain the weight loss and the energy boost will help me be able to do a little more so I do t feel so exhausted co stantly, though he admits its all up in the air since my fatigue is tied to my autoimmune diseases (RA and PsA) and not directly to my weight itself. Here's hoping. I want to feel better for my two young children. In their short lives they've never seen me without my SD, cane or rollator. I'd love to retire the cane and walker until my SD is old and gray
So helpful Dr. thank you so much!!!!
You are amazing! Thank you for well informing on this subject.
I wish I lived in your area and could come see you my provider told me she doesn't prescribe weight loss medications. Her solution is to diet and exercise more

God Bless you. Thank you for your honesty. I am transitioning to a plant based diet, I suffer from Lupus and People rave about how much better they feel. But I did have to force myself to eat even on day one with this medication but I did it. Don't want to loose weight by starving been there done that and got fat.
Thank you so much for all of your videos. I have learned so much. I started phentermine in late May and as of now I have lost 22lbs and hope to keep losing to get to my goal weight! This will be my last month on phentermine and I hope my doctor will allow me to keep using it as I still need to lose about 20 more pounds. Please keep making these videos!! You're awesome!!
I am starting this medication now .. I’ve been following you for sometime .. I am happy that I found this video about this medication .. Thank you so much 😊 .. Take care and God Bless you and your family 🙏🏼
I started it today im quite nervous. How did it go so far??

This has been so helpful to me. I wish you would do a series on combating weightloss while going through menopause because I'm struggling. I workout, walk, swim, play tennis, zumba, etc weekly and not one pound lost in 6months. I truly believe its due to menopause.
It is due to menopause. I didn't ever struggle with weight gain until menopause and if I just eat a bite of something like a French fry or yogurt I gain several pounds and I too watch my calories , exercise 3 to 5 days a week. Been on strict diets off and on since menopause and it is difficult when everyone wants to go out to eat! Everything has to be cooked at home so you regulate butter and oils and creams. Just recently started Phetermine and the wt. DR. TOLD me thatI need to do more weight lifting exercise at my age because the biking , walking, aerobics and stair master was just spinning my wheels at my age and I would gain all my weight back if I didn't... so I now am doing more wt. Training. Hope it works. Just FYI , if you want to try that
Doc, I am taking phentermine 37.5mg and judging my own trials on it I noticed its anorexic effects lasts about 10-12 hours. If I take it too early in the morning by evening the hunger shows up and I am still too far away from bedtime. If I take it by noon I am finding it difficult to fall asleep at my ordinary bedtime. What's your thoughts?
I take mine around 10am and it will last until 8pm. If I take it too early I'm starving by the evening but it's never effected my sleep pattern though.
cut it in half and dose it half a tablet twice daily (if you have capsules they do come as tablets or you can have your provider write for 15 mg ) That strategy has worked well for several of my patients.
Antonio Schuck that happens to me as well but try drinking lot of water that helps feel full and won't think about being hungry
Yea it happens to me as well
Antonio Schuck I have to take Phentermine at 6am everyday if I don't I'm wired all day. Did you experience any anxiety while talking Phentermine?
I have been on it before when I was younger and it helped. Now being the biggest I have ever been I am on phentermine and topamax. In day 3 now thank you so much.
I received important and useful information from this video. Thank you!
I seriously want to get back on this . it helped me focus so much and helped me lose alot of weight
Thank you, doc-you are a tremendous resource!
I had several friends that lost 50 to 80 pounds. Unfortunately for me didn't work. I lost maybe a few pounds. 6 months. Yes I tried hard and drank water. Later I found out I had a thyroid issue and going into menopause because of it. Wish I had the success the other people did.
I went from 184 to 164 between May-mid July, honestly still ate the same like half healthy and sometimes junk food but in moderation and small portions cuz I got full fast. then went back to school and was still coming down, had loose skin so I started jogging in August. I do cardio machines for a half an hour like twice a week and my heart rate is in the fat burn zone like maybe once or twice a day and high Cardio zones when I workout. I didn’t have a scale at school, I have like three meals just to have energy throughout the day and barely even finish it cuz my appetite is small. Cuz I’m in college again I have had takeout a few times but again would get full pretty fast or eat small portions and I make my own food in the caf like a rap with real cheese and chicken or something and lots of guacamole (splurged on ice cream or cake a lot admittedly) but still physically looked like I was maintaining and losing more and more. But I visit home this weekend (end of September) and use the scale for the first time in over a month and I’m back up to 178 like I wanna fucking cry (I’m just finishing up my period so it could be bloat?). I weighed myself first thing this morning still 178 but i KNOW I look smaller still but it’s confusing cuz I have different mirrors that make my face look bigger at school etc and like it’s very misleading. Idk if I just gained muscle or not cuz I feel like I’m still really small now and my skin got tighter legs got stronger but it’s hard to tell by looking at myself to see. But like I haven’t worked out this much honestly in years so like is this a case of weight is just a number??? HOW did I just go back up basically undoing EVERYTHING in like a month while working out and eating small portions?? I gotta start taking progress pictures and again I still feel smaller and even like my fupa looks smaller and in general I look less bloated. So the muscle thing? Water weight? Period bloat? Ughhh
It may be helpful to have a scale that measures not only your weight but other variables such as muscle mass.
@@Londontowne2010 I had that
You’re gorgeous ♥️ just take it a day at a time love. Trust the process
I just bought these in Mexico. Day 1. Gonna do a healthier diet and at least walk 30 mins a day
Love you and your board so much useful information please keep it coming
Should I try it without coffee in the morning so to not have the side affects?
This video was very helpful to me, I started taking Phentermine capsules ( which I love because of they are timed release)in January and the first month I didn't lose pounds however I lost 4 inches. But I haven't lose anymore and am very discouraged but watching this video made me realize that in the beginning I would take it with a protein shake upon waking up but now I take it then have my coffee then breakfast 1&1/2 to 2 hours later. Tomorrow I will start taking it with my breakfast and hope that will do the trick! wish me luck!
You know what's crazy.... When I started phentermine, it gave me so much energy that I worked out twice a day (I'd go for a jog/run in the morning, come back home then do a beachbody workout (p90x, etc. I did 3 or 4 programs total). Anyways, my point is that it made me more focused than I've ever been. I thought this was from losing weight and being able to think more clear etc..... fast forward 6 or 7 years later to today, I just learned I am ADHD!!! I stopped taking Phentermine because I wanted to BULK up via dirty bulking, didn't turn out too well unfortunately. I am now on Ritalin and am more motivated and focused than I've been in years since I've stopped taking phentermine.
I believe the chemical makeup of Phentermine, Adderall, Ritalin, are very similar right?
So did Phentermine help my ADHD too?
Has the same effect on me too. I love it for how it quiets the chaos.
You have given me hope for helping my teen, empowering her to realize the food addiction can be actually treated! We need your help.
Thanks so much for this. You really gave me a lot of helpful info
you are amazing! to the point yet nice in the way you speak to us! love your videos! thank you for your information Doctor.
I enjoy viewing your videos. Very helpful and insightful. Would you be willing to do a video on a standard eating plan while on Phentermine? Or restricted calorie diet on Phentermine?
Hi im so glad i came across you on here, im a lupus patient and im on predisone and my weight goes way up and when this happens i dont feel well at all, loss of breath, fatigue and so forth, the first time i went to him i was 180 cause of the predisone, i loose alot of weight, and im like "Huh" and everyone was so shocked that i probably got worst with my illness. I was so happy had lots of energy i wore my daughter's clothes cause she is very petite and buys nice stuff..No im not ashame of saying i wear her stuff cause she does with some of mines lol.. So my ? to you is now my weight is back and my dr is way up in New jersey and at times i do not feel well to travel so far.. I spoke to him about me taking the pill and he suggested since i don't want to travel this far if my rheumatologist said my vitals are ok i can start the phentermine i have left but start with half in the morning and the other half at 12 noon and see how it goes...im sorry for talking too much, is it safe to do so? At first i use to take 1 pill at around 7am along with a vitamin pill, fish oil, vitamin b12 and it worked well... Its 1 wk now and when i take half the pill i dont feel any impact😔 im wondering if i should take 1 pill morning and see how it goes. Can i take 1 pill in the Am and 1 at 12 to see how it goes?
Hello I have SLE Lupus I wanted to know your results after a year ago. My main concerns is my nerve pain currently it is electrifying I am not sleeping well for the first night on the pill I will gradually take my vitamins but I wanted to see the side effects. So far it does help you focus, energy I did yoga,mediation, clean house and rode my bike for the first time. So I am hopeful. I was not sure if I should take aide to sleep. Thanks in advance Butterfly
I’ve lost 12 pounds in a month and half but I’ve also lost a lot of hair
Hi vanessa, did you keep the weight off? Any side effects?
Just started taking half for my first 7 days then a whole. Wish me luck.
My dr started me on the 15 mg dose. I don’t feel like I have to taken anything. Don’t feel anything. I don’t have any side effects either. Should I ask him to higher the dose. I’m also on a low carb and low calorie diet. Keeping a log.
It keeps me chilled I have ADHD it made me foucw more at work and keep up with work and I noticed a lot
Great information, thank you! You’re so pretty :)
My head was throbbing. The headaches were so bad. My face was tingling. It felt like my brain was burning.
Taking it or after you stopped taking it?
My doctor was reluctant to prescribe it to me, but since I am very healthy otherwise besides my weight! She was willing to work with me!
I started taking it 10 days ago but have only had 3 so far. It works well but makes my anxiety worse and agitated/grumpy. The last time I took it I couldn’t sleep and got a little chest pain, I told my doctor and she just said that’s interesting and didn’t check anything lol so I guess she isn’t worried. I’m only 32 years old and healthy but 15-20kg overweight
My best results are taking it at 10 am between breakfast and lunch.
I have been on Phentermine for 5 weeks now, can someone recommend when I should workout in the morning or evening timeframe. I currently lost 20 lbs so far and I have 50 lbs to go
Kevin Rought wow. Good for you. I find of I exercise in the evening my appetite decreases. Take the pill in the morning. Exercise at night.
Kevin Rought That’s awesome, I just started taking phentermine and I find that it definitely increases my energy and decreases my appetite. I am also fasting (16:8), which means for me I don’t eat from 8 pm to 12 pm. During that time I take my dosage of phentermine in the am and about 30 minutes after I work out. This way I’m burning calories throughout my day. Hope my experience helps as much as yours has motivated me☺️
Hello Kevin. Congratulations! I’m 170lb I’m 5 feet. I wish I can lose 50lbs like you.
I’m glad you talked about the ADHD. I had better management with my ADHD the adderall.
Hi, "You've Got This."Wondering if you can do a review of and a comparison to Phendimetrazine 35mg?
Thank you!
Yes...Your videos are so informative..Thank you sooo much for sharing your knowledge. Thank you so much!
Hi is it possible to take 5-htp later at night to help with insomnia?
One last thing... It does not suppress my appetite and I am constantly hungry because I am working out a lot and constantly running after my toddler....
I took this after I had my first baby one lost 40 pounds!! I'm taking it now after my second and I've only lost 12 pounds in 4 months of taking it! Any suggestions on why I'm not losing like I did the first time?
I started phentermine 4 days ago an already lost 8lbs ...yaaaaaaaaayyyyy
That is water not fat. I say that so you will be realistic in future weeks/months. Max is 2 lb week and FEW do that
I took phentermine in 2008 and I are 0 food items for 30 days. I lost 48 pounds in 30 days. Ass and tits were wrinkled and empty. Arms were wrinkled too. My energy levels were low but after the first week I was great. Not hungry at all. I stayed on that for 69 days and lost a total of 130 pounds. I also starred walking at whatever pace for one hour a day. Weight stayed off for 7 years. I'm fat again and started it again 3 days ago. My pills cost 28$ for 30 and so far day 3 I'm hungry. But food will not kill me any longer. I just want my blood pressure gone. I would eat but literally when I bite food and it hits my belly I feel sick af!
If I'm understanding your note, I would be very careful about that strategy. A consultation with a good dietician or nutritionist would be a good idea. Let them go over with you a good way to keep at your healthy weight. The myfitnesspal app is a good one to calculate your calorie intake depending upon what you would like to do.
Seems like after you loose the weight and shit, hit the gym and Start toneing up them and trust me, They wont be Saggy.
What the whaaaa? 130 lbs in 69 days?? Did you exercise? What’s your situation now? Mind blowing.
Filthy talk.God.
Thanks for the gray info I just started a few days ago they definitely help me not think about food as that’s all I would think of!
My doctor prescribed me phentermine to take along side with metformin. I am on day 2. The first time which was yesterday when I took them. I felt horrible my heart was racing I couldn't concentrate. I felt like vomiting and continued to feel like that all day. But I then figured out it was probably because I didn't eat while taking the pills. So today I ate breakfast. An egg white mcmuffin and some apple slices with lots of water. I honestly feel so much better than how I felt yesterday. Have you heard of anyone taking both at the same time?
Adela Zamarron great question. How did you journey go with both meds?
Not going to lie. I bought mine online, without a prescription, without any sort of monitoring. The 1st time I took it I felt so jittery where I wanted to scream. I started taking it with food and it no longer did this. I ended up losing 20 pounds in 1 month and kept it off for 3 months now. Worked wonders for me.
Hello what's the online info plz
I use this for three days just to help get into ketosis fat burning mode
Have you heard of Phenterpro Sr and does it work?
All I can say is thank you!💖🏃🏾♀️👊🏽🙏🏽
Thank you so much! This has helped answer many of my questions.
Thank you so much for this one. Very informative.
Thanks doc for this informative video, here in Australia duromine as they call it is something people are scared to go on to help with Weightloss..
Hi Doctor! I am interested in Phentermine but I realise that I have a good grip on my appetite since I've cut down carbs. Almost down to 10 grams. I was wondering what else could I take in order to help me loose weight.
