hey i probablly should have asked before i ordered but i started takin the generic 37.5mg phentermine pills and was wondering if this drug was just used for an appetite suppressant or if it also maybe sped up your metabolism or "burned of fat" just curious i already started taking them and the first day they seemed speedy but it's been 4 days and i can't really notice and i usually don't eat until late in the day anyway?
To my knowledge, Phentermine acts only as an appetite supressant, and in my opinion, not very effectively. It does not have any properties that increase metabolism or burn fat as far as I know.
Is this the best weightloss drug out there? If not, please tell me what is..... I can't figure this out. Anyone's experience is welcome and much appreciated!

Hi Taffy I have tried Xenical. didn't work for me. Made my sister very sick. Needed surgury.It didn't block very much fat either. And it didn't suppress the appetite at all. Maybe that with something else. Phentermine didn't work for me either same side effects as you. Any other suggestions out there?
I have tried Xenial- and it was AWFUL! I won't even talk about the gross side effects. Unless you can resign yourself to a diet includind something like a total of 30% of your calories from fat per day, don't try it. It is nasty!

My 2 cents: Xenical is like throwing your money out the window. It does absolutely nothing. You can reduce your fat intake on your own & get better results. I have tried every "approved" diet pill out there & I have not had much luck. After years of keeping my weight in check, I had problems & put on a lot of weight. I purchased every diet pill out there during the last year. I honestly don't think they make diet pills strong enough anymore because of abuse. I use to be able to take diet pills for 30 days & drop 20 pounds. I know I am older now & weight loss is harder, but I have not found anything which remotely resembles the results I use to be able to get. I even tried the health food stores. I could not take ephedrine at all. Have you tried that? Some people can take it.
Out of everything I tried Didrex was the best, but as soon as I went off them I gained the weight back & then some. After 2 months of taking them, I lost 12 pounds. That was eating right & mild exercise (walking at least ½ hr 3 to 4 times a week). Not good enough result as far as I am concerned. I am not going to take diet pills & chance addiction. Probably not much chance of that anyway, like I said nothing is strong enough.
Anyway, like others said everyone is different. Maybe you will have better luck. I believe Didrex is stronger than Phentermine.
Didrex never worked for me, and the side effects of xenical was enough to keep me from taking it (make sure you wear Depends for the "leaking"). I also like tenuate, but phentermine is the most common and most popular appetite suppressant.

I have been taking Phen sice 4/23 and have lost 35 lbs it works for me! gives me energy during the day definatly surpresses my appitite.I have ordered from several differnt sites and have recieved 3 different types of Phen 37.5 some are good some were horrible so bad i thought they were fake at first. But over all it does work for me.
My gf tried the 30mf inomine and they mad eher crazy......Then I switched her to the 15mg and they work great for her, lost 2.5 inches on her wait in 3-6 weeks....
I took it as apipex-p, back in the day from a diet doc, and lost too much. I was hell on wheels cleaning house and gardening. But these generic one today don't seen quite as strong. It's probably my 52 yr old body. I can't exercise much except for swimming. Hubby does the house work for me so I can cook for him. I watch the family nutrition.
I need to lose about 25 lbs and need energy just to exercise at least 3 times a week. I know I'm never gonna wear size5 any more, but I want to get in my size 8 jeans again and not 12s. Not too much to ask.

I ordered phentermine 30 mg. I have taken it before and it definitely helped boost my energy level. I, too, am only wanting to shed around 10 pounds (I recently began working from home and being down the hall from my fridge all day has really tested my willpower!!)...so the decreased appetite is a definite plus, but the added energy really helped me with CFS in the past. I have also tried Ritalin, but it didn't do much for me as far as energy goes. Hope this helps...(btw...good luck with your sofa...I read your '3 yr old son' post earlier! My son just turned 3 and I can totally relate!!! )

I've been searching for an hour and can't find an answer - what's the difference between blue30, yellow30, and 37.5 phentermine? I'm ready to place my first order, think I found the cheapest site, but which version of this drug is best? Help!
I'm also in Florida and I'm pulling my hair out trying to find someone who will ship Bontril or generic phendimetrazine to Florida. Any suggestions would be greatly appreicated. --Hairless in Fort Lauderdale

Can anyone tell me the difference between the different colors of phentermine? Does this indicate any type of time relase or can the strength be gauged purely on the MG's?
Also, if a person wants to cut there caloric intake in half, (e.g. 3000 to 1500) what dosage/frequencey would be appropriate/effective?
Thanks for info. The question on colors was because there are different colors offered of the same mg's.
Can anyone w/ phentermine experience let me know what is a good dose to cut my calorie intake down? I love to eat and am always hungry. I feel weak without food, but my girlfriend and I are doing a low-calorie diet with excercise. Does phentermine give you enrgy and kill hunger? I have tried the caffeine/ephedra type diet pills and they give me the shakes.
You won't want to eat when first taking it so really don't sweat that right now! You will need to think about what you are going to eat and remember to EAT around normal meal times. There were 8 woman who started taking it on another site I post at. Non drug buying site so I started telling my mom about it although she doesn't use the net to chat. All of these woman had reported that hours, some reported 24 hours went by and they had NO INTEREST in eating. Now I am not talking about skinny people who needed to drop 10 pounds. I am talking about people like myself who could afford to drop, ummmm, SOME weight and are used to eating!!!! What they found was the ones who made themselves eat alittle something 3 times a day did far better then the ones who didn't eat at all. It was like the ones who fed their bodies did better because their bodies didn't go into shock/starvation mode. Now this only went on for about 2 weeks and then the full effects started to wear off and then they started to watch what they were consuming. Really, I would just watch for the first week and see what the pills do for you. Some reported losing 8 pounds even the ones that were forcing themselves to eat! The thing is, you aren't going to crave much and food isn't going to be as appealing. BUT within 1 month, the effects will mostly be gone. They are did the 37.5 from Sunset but since the hurricane I think they have been half and half good but before that, they were awesome! A good price for 90 tablets 37.5mgs is $119.99 if I remember correctly but some have the nerve to charge as high as $250. I am truely not sure what the going price is now. This is just based on what I found when I ordered for my mom awhile ago. GOOD LUCK and stock up on light healthy somewhat appealing food. You will have a dry nasty tasting mouth for a few days also.
