I had my usual follow up for my valid, and very legal prescription of phentermine. My normal primary doctor wasn’t available for my follow up and I asked the nurse if it’s ok to see someone else in the office and that it won’t cause any issues; she said no problem. I see a new doctor, she prescribes me my next refill and then I have the pharmacy calling me saying they can’t refill it due to state restrictions. (Or I thought because she’s not my primary) The provider I saw said she re-sent the rx and that they had to fix something on their end. Then the pharmacy calls back and says the Rx will be ready by the end of the day, THEN they call back again saying sorry they need a DEA number from my doctor to refill it. Seem weird to anyone? The original doctor wasn’t very nice to me and I feel like I’m being setup or something. Am I now flagged as doing something wrong, even though I did nothing wrong?

I’ve always struggled with weight loss ever since my thyroid disease has taken over. I’m on 30mg phentermine and 50mg levythyroxine for my thyroid, I space them out an hour from each other in the morning. Doctor says they shouldn’t interfere but I’m just super tired all the time, when I thought phentermine gave me some boost of energy. I’m on month 2 and my appetite is controlled but it just makes me tired and I’m not losing. So I guess either I’m not eating enough or it’s just not working for me. Any advice out there

Anyone else feel like Phen didn’t work for them? I do have a nutritionist and don’t overeat or eat junk. Cardio and weights 5 days a week, so I can’t tell when i go on the scale because I’m hoping to also build muscle. Clothes feel the same. I don’t have any side effects at all and I’m always tired, absolutely no insomnia. It’s almost like I’m immune and hit a plateau. It’s been a waste of time. My last month she is finally upping the dose to 30mg but after 2 months of no weight loss I’m not that positive. Maybe I should slow down on the weights and loose a few pounds first? Scale hasn’t moved in 2 months.

I’m afraid this isn’t working for me or my body is just not feeling it. Has that happened to anyone? For my last month I’m on 30mg starting tomorrow but I’m not that positive. I’m very active, I do cardio five days a week and strength training (which is why I don’t go on the scale since I’m trying to tighten and tone) I’m drinking a lot of water and avoid carbs, sugars and pop. I have thyroid disease (part of the reason I’m on it) so I’m still usually pretty tired even though it’s supposedly a stimulant. I have a nutritionist and I know I’m eating enough. What could I be doing wrong? Maybe I hit some sort of plateau and I feel like I’m only maintaining weight. My clothes don’t feel any different either. Has a higher dose really helped someone that’s similar in my situation?

My doctor put me on 15mg but I was still eating a lot, so I asked for 37.5 and she declined them and said she can put me on 30mg. I looked up the 30mg and it shows that they’re WEAKER when it comes to cravings. I feel like she’s setting me up for failure. But I’ve never heard of the 30mg capsules. I was on the 37.5 pills and those were amazing. They just don’t let me have them again, it’s so annoying.

Is it because they don’t trust me? They also purposely gave me the lowest dose but it doesn’t work for me at all and they won’t budge for the higher dose. I feel like they’re just punishing me

Anyone find the phen wasn’t working good and then switched to something else? I’ve been on 15mg for 2 months with no good results and I’m wondering if Wegovy is better
