Phentermine will not teach you how to NOT put weight on. Most women -lose- weight after giving birth. You claim that's when you gained it. You're doing something wrong, and phentermine won't fix that. Sounds to me like you're going to a weight-loss center, not your own doctor. No doubt your own doctor (particularly your OB/GYN) would tell you to eat better, exercise better, and lay off the pills. Phentermine is an appetite suppressant. It doesn't make you lose weight. It makes you not want to eat. The moment you STOP taking the phentermine, your appetite returns. If you aren't learning how to live a healthier lifestyle, then the phentermine won't help you be a parent to your child. It'll just give you another excuse to live an unhealthy lifestyle.

Thank you for your opinion. I can see where you are coming from, I just feel like I voiced how I felt and then I received a full blown online attack. I want to do better and make healthier decision hints the reason I joined a forum.

My sister in law was on the fen fen diet and lost a lot of weight, she was upset when they discontinued the combination due to the health risks. She was given a full physical and had some cardiac tests and didn't end up having any problems with the medication.

Have any of you had an experience with phentermine?
Generic Phentermine does nothing for me. It is *useless*. In the past I used Fastin which was a trademarked version of phentermine (or so they say). And it worked beautifully, but they have stopped making it, because it WORKED TOO WELL. Go figure.

I have tried every single pill on the market, I promise you. And nothing works. The diet/weightloss industry does not want us to lose weight. They would be out of business if they ever came up with something that worked. LOL

Isn't that the truth!

I look at it this way. If a diet pill worked it would be headline news and sold everywhere. Fat people would be a rarity.
Its common sense folks.
It is very easy to get drawn into quick fix notions because trying to lose weight is hard work. It takes 100% commitment and there are no short cuts.

Hello,

Phentermine diet pills are the most commonly prescribed weight loss medication in the USA. This is the name of the drug in its generic form, but it is also sold under a number of additional brand names, which include Adipex, Oby-Trim etc. It also helps to minimize the discomforts that are associated with dieting such as hunger and fatigue, so that those who weight is leading to a health risk can drop the pounds more easily.

Thanks..

And they still do not work for long term weight loss or health. As soon as you go off them the weight comes back.

Phentermine causes your blood pressure to go up. Be careful!
