I am not obese, but over the past 4 years had put on about 15 lbs in stomach and breast. Don’t let the POTENTIAL of side effects scare you away from what could be potentially life changing. If you’re like me and seem to be stuck I say at least give this a try. Have a follow up with the doc in a month to go over a long(er) term plan if we’re both happy with where I’m at by then. I’m hoping to keep these results going and will probably stay on half a pill until I start to slow down/plateau and start on a whole pill. I feel full faster, and sometimes I have to have loved ones remind me to eat or if my heart rate is too high I grab a snack so my body has something to burn off and that seems to steady it back down. I haven’t seen my weight below 330 no matter how hard I tried in a very long time. i started at 5’11” 338.6 and this morning I am 328.6. That said, I have already dry lost 10 lbs. I haven’t noticed dry mouth but I am a person that always has a beverage anyway. I have no trouble sleeping though I take the pill around 1030 everyday (though I also do not react to sedatives, there is a chance I do not react to stimulants either). Staying away from caffeine or high sugar foods and monitoring my heart with my Apple Watch I have felt comfortable with my numbers. So far I do have increased heart rate, especially when I do not eat or eat balanced. I was initially concerned with anxiety and tachycardia side effects, so we agreed that I would start on half a 37.5mg pill until I was comfortable. I also have high BP due to my condition, but it is managed with diet and medicine. I can’t give it five stars yet because I haven’t been on it long. Doc put me on this with hopes it would kickstart my weight loss and also help with side effects of having chronic pain. I have tried every diet and any other person would be losing weight at a healthy pace but I was not. I have an autoimmune disease that causes chronic pain and inflammation in my spine and hips, making it nearly impossible to lose weight as exercise is quite painful including stretching, and inflammation fights weight loss. Seems fast to write a review, but I’ll tell you why I’m already sharing. I have been on generic Phentermine for a week now. just make sure u take it in the mornings & i recommend taking only half for the first week or you’ll feel so high ? Read More Read Less Only side effects i’ve had is headaches, back pain, & dry mouth. i have only drank water for 3 months now & i can’t even stand the taste of soda now. you’re not hungry at all so u might only eat once a day. i forget to eat most days (just call it fasting ig) i workout every weekday in the mornings, i don’t eat breakfast, & eat SMALL portions for lunch & dinner. my goal is to lose 30 this month (i’m 24 now), 15 in may, 15 in j une. so i told her i wanted to get back to where i was (155). (my period stopped for 5mo, got checked & no pcos) my doctor asked if i wanted to try to lose weight to see if it’ll help. i’ve been having a lot of health issues with no lab results to show the problem. Please do use common sense and don't abuse it. I want to take time and go through this journey where I never want to deal with it again!!! Good luck to everyone on it or thinking about it. It won't be over night when it comes off. My b/p got used to the meds (this is why I only take 1/2 a day). My cholesterol (good and bad) are perfect now. I took Vit B-12 shots and I have NEVER FELT BETTER! I'm taking it slow. (That was a hard thing to adjust too but, it's better for you.) I try to eat three times a day. If I want sweets, I allow myself that treat once a week! I drink mainly water. I do watch what I eat but I'm not killing myself over it. I feel great! I only take 1/2 tablet every morning before my co ffee and breakfast. IT WAS BEING OBESE!!! Obesity causes a lot of issues and they all negative. B/p I feel was just as my knee pain, hip and lower back. On meds for them but inherited the cholesterol thing. I'm 63 yrs old 5'2" at 220 lbs with high b/p and cholesterol/triglycerides issues. POSITIVE!! When I started, I was desperate.
