Does anyone have suggestions to slow hair loss? I just started collagen peptide supplements (the flavorless powder kind) but am wondering what else other people do. Thanks

So I have pretty bad general/social anxiety as well as panic attacks and after reading the side effects of this med I see it may actually increase that. I'm on day 3 of taking this med and I have absolutely no idea why but it has completely killed my anxiety all together. Where I go to big crowds and usually need to take ativan, I actually went and was more confident than ever. It's like I'm back to my normal self again it's so weird.

Anyone else have the same? I was diagnosed with ADHD since grade school and I'm 38 now so maybe that has something to do with it???

i was prescribed 37.5 mg i do suffer from health anxiety but i really need this medicine to help me with my hunger and losing weight im just really nervous about the side affects such as fast heart rate and being jittery should i split my pill in half at 6 am ? will its till work as efficiently im only on it for a month as a jumpstart for my weight loss journey but im scared to start it

….is there a reason Phentermine can’t be taken long term other than it is addictive? I mean, that is a good reason, don’t get me wrong. But with all the glp 1’s and other similar meds people will take very long term, possibly forever, for weight loss, it seems that is more the norm than not? I know people often take Phen for 3 months, go off for awhile, then go back on, & then repeat. I must not be fully aware of other effects long term use would have? Thoughts?

Hi everyone! I’ve always struggled with over-eating and constantly thinking and craving food. I started 37.5 mg of Phentermine 3 days ago and oh MY!!! My appetite is basically nonexistent and I don’t think about food 24/7. I can’t tell you how much of a relief it is to not always be craving and day dreaming about food. I also have much more energy and feel amazing! I almost started crying today because of how much better I am feeling. My doctor said even though it is for short-term use, there is a good possibility I could take it for up to a year. I can’t believe I may actually be at my goal weight eventually. BEST DECISION EVER!

Hi community! How has everyone’s experience been with drinking ? I feel the hangovers are worse the next day but I can stay awake longer.

I am on 37.5 and the doctor has advised me to split my daily dose, taking half in the morning and half “lunchtime.” I was just curious what other people do, do you take it with your lunch, or before you eat? I am finding if I take it about an hour before my scheduled lunch break (I work in an office and have to schedule it around meetings, etc.) I am just not very hungry and pretty jittery.

Iv been taking the phentermine for a few weeks now. At first it gave me soo much energy, and it still does …but whenever I do anything the slightest bit physical, especially if I’m using my arms, my body gets exhausted really quickly, it’s ridiculous.

Is this related to phentermine? Whats going on ?

Hello! I started phentermine last week and feel like I am kind of sleeping, kind of not. I feel like i never really “fall” asleep, but i am not noticeably awake. Right now i am only taking half of my 37.5 mg prescription so im kind of afraid to up it.

What are we doing to help sleep? I take melatonin, L-theanine and magnesium already. I also smoke weed in the evenings. Any advice?

Weirdly though, i am yawning throughout the day, just when it actually comes to sleeping my brain races.

ALSO headaches? I get reoccurring headaches and migraines as it is. I’ve had a headache for 3 days in a row.. any tips?

TYIA

I had need steadily losing weight for the first two weeks, but now, at the start of the third week, Iv gained back about a pound ? Now I’m feeling less hopeful that phentermine is going to work for me :(

Any encouragement or advice to get the weight to start going down again ?

I never lost a huge amount like some people do either, just like 7-8lbs in two weeks (which I realize is still pretty good) I just don’t understand why the scale is now going up again …
