I just ordered a 3 month supply of Phentermine the other day. I've been trying to get these extra pounds off forever now. I'm in a size 12 and sometimes a 14 depending on the make. I guess what made me make this decision is when I went to the mall the other day and I saw this awesome JLo jogging suit that I wanted. The pants fit me just right, but the shirt was kinda tight. It was the largest size they had and I was really upset that I couldn't buy it and wear it comfortably. So anyway, I'm wondering has anyone tried this and what types of side effects if any did you have. You can PM if you don't want to post.

I just starting taking this not quite two weeks ago. The first week I experienced a headache, slight constipation, tons of energy and a surpressed appetite. I have been doing a lot of exercising while taking these and have lost 5.5lbs since I started taking them. I also notice inches lost as well. I am able to fit into my size 10 jeans and they are not too tight either. This week I thought the appetite supression had decreased a bit but now I'm fine.

It makes your hair very dry. My hair fell out after I took it for a few months..

I didn't know about this possible side effect until after I started taking phen. Luckily, my hair hasn't changed since I started taking phen.

I have been itching and scratching since last Friday and I started taking the phentermine that Thursday. Thanks for the feedback. I guess I need to get back to taking my biotin and everything else. I can't be loosing weight and my hair!

I finally got my JLo jogging suit that I wanted way back in July! LOL! I got it in hot pink and have gotten plenty of compliments. I'm still working on my weight, but not using the phentermine anymore. Too many side effects for me. It feels good not being able to fit those 14's anymore...I'm in a size 10 now and have been for about two months now. I found out the hard way, the best way for me to loose weight was the good old fashioned way...exercise and lots of water!

I hated having dry mouth. No matter how much water I drank, I was always thirsty. My hair shed A LOT!!! I got the jitters and I could not sleep at night. I'd take the pill 1 hour before I ate at like 7:00 in the morning and come 11:00 at night I was still tossing and turning trying to get to sleep. Once I started taking them every other day or every two days, it wasn't that bad. But I've laid off of them for awhile. Oh yeah, sometimes I was lightheaded or felt dizzy...not a good thing when I have to walk 5 blocks from the parking garage to get to my job! Not to mention trying to drive home feeling that way.

i took it and I had serious heart issues. I only took it for 2 days because i thought i was going to die. Which i find funny because I used to take ephedra and it never made me feel that way yet its illegal now. I was taking 37.5 mg. There are a lot of people who have success with it check out phentermine.org

I tried it before and it was ok. I did loose weight and I was taking B12 shots and low carbing. So I don't know what was it that really worked. I am scared to take it again because I just am... LOL. At first it had me really jittery. I started taking only a half of pill then it was ok. I thought about doing it again to give me a boost.

Did you buy your pills online?

Dang finding phentermine is cheap, but they add so many charges!

I used it last summer and lost about 25lbs. You will lose some in the first couple of weeks, then plateau for about 2-3 weeks and then start losing again. Stick with it. Don't stop taking them. Also, you may want to start out very slow by taking a half a pill every other day and gradually building that half pill up to daily and then, if you can take it, a whole pill a day. But, they are very powerful and will make you forget to eat and also give you too much energy if your body is not acclimated to them. Never take one after 2pm or you will be up all night.

Drink more water and your constipation should go away. I used them after my son was born and I lost 20 pounds. Once you've used them for a while it won't suppress your appetite like it does when you first start. Stay off them for a month and then get back on. Take hair vitamins too.
