I started taking phentermine at the end of August, dropped almost 10 lbs the first week, nothing the second week, and then 4 lbs the 3rd week. I am on the 7th week and my weight has remained the same.
I know the first week was water weight and that I won’t be seeing any drastic drops like that first week, but I have been on a cal deficit the entire time. My average daily caloric intake is around 1400, which is a 1300 cal deficit.
I’m eating high protein, lots of cabbage and cauliflower rice.

Has anyone else experienced this plateau? and if so, what changes this you implement ?

I am looking to ask my PCP to prescribe this medication, I tried glp-1 and all it did was send me to the hospital multiple times and give me digestion issues. I have done the diets but the need to binge doesn’t go away. Has anyone had severe issues on this medication?
