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 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 was just prescribed Phentermine after gaining 20 pounds postpartum. I’m nervous of the negative side effects. I am already on 150mg of zoloft everyday.

I've been on phentermine for 3 months at 18,2 mg. I think it's time to go to 30 mg. Food noise is creeping up

So I started on the 15mg and lost 6lbs. Ive been on the 37.5mg for about 2 weeks but I havent lost anything. Is this normal? I know we have water weight that adds to the issue but I dont eat very much anymore and I can't figure out what the issue is. I also exercise daily

I've heard that Phentermine works by canceling out the food noise. I started in June on a half dose and it was mildly effective, I went on vacation regained a little, lost a little, then I went up to a full dose in July and I noticed some improvements, I started to track calories and noticed significant success, then life hit and the calorie counting stopped. Without counting, I noticed that I would maintain for a few weeks, maybe gain a pound or two (I'm a woman) and then after my period lose 2-4 pounds. It's been slow but I'm alright with gradual weight loss. I'm afraid of having loose skin if I lose it too fast.

That said, I also got a really bad cold recently and ate 3 very basic meals and lost about 4 pounds in that time. As of right now I can honestly say I have zero food cravings. Which is kinda exciting? I can save money and not feel like my life is ruled by food? But I've also heard that once you stop taking phentermine, then the cravings come back in full force.

I've always been a chronic stress eater (and thank god I'm on Phentermine rn because I have been dealing with a LOT of stress) but I'm wondering if being on Phentermine can maybe help kick bad habits?

Has anyone experienced being able to stop binge eating/emotional stress eating with phentermine? Am I really doomed to having the cravings return after I stop?

Also is it normal for phentermine's effectiveness to be more powerful after being on it for a few months? Maybe that's placebo, in which case I don't wanna know, lol.

TLDR: did anyone find they were able to break some of their bad dietary habits at least while on Phentermine?

First stay starting at 15mg. I have anxiety already and so doctor and I decided to start at a lower dosage. Hoping to lose 10-15 pounds. I gained around 50 when pregnant 3 years ago!

I have been taking 18.75mg phentermine for 9 days and have lost a total of 10 pounds but the scale doesn't seem to be budging anymore. Is there something wrong with me or is the weight loss gradual? I got used to seeing my weight drop by a pound a day and it's been like 2 or 3 days at the same weight now. I guess I'm just worried this isn't working for me? I'm supposed to start the full dose 37.5mg in a couple weeks not sure if that would make a difference. What's your experience been?

Hace 1 semana fui al nutricionista para controlar mi peso y además de hacerme un plan nutricional me recetaron fermentina de 37gr porque le conté que tenía mucha ansiedad por comer y solía tener atracones en la noche. Me preocupó bastante porque me dijo que si seguía alimentando así se me desarrollaría una resistencia a la insulina así que me recetó este medicamento que no conocía antes.

Empecé a averiguar y vi muchas advertencias sobre efectos secundarios y dependencias hacia el remedio, lo cual me asusto un poco, pero de todas formas hoy lo tomé por primera vez y luego de una hora me empezaron a dar síntomas, primero me dió mucho calor y me sentí un poco acelerada, luego se me empezó a secar la boca muy seguido y tenía que tomar mucha agua pero al rato ya se me secaba denuevo. 😓

Alguien más que haya estado consumiendo fermentina le ha pasado? Quería saber sus experiencias y si estos síntomas son así todos los días porque lo peor es que sentía mal aliento debido a la boca seca y no quiero estar así todos los días. 🥲

I took 2 phentermine 37.5 mg around 3:00 today. I had taken 30 mg of adderrall at 11:30 am. I ate a light lunch at that time. Not long after taking the diet pills my stomach started hurting so bad. It’s around my belly button area. It’s a dull achy cramp. I took tums and gas x and Prilosec and famotodine. It’s still cramping. It almost feels like I need to poop but I can’t. I was able to eat supper.

I just started taking phentermine three days ago. I have been on metformin as well with no weight loss luck so my doctor suggested phentermine as my insurance doesn’t cover GLP ones or any weight loss meds and phentermine is relatively cheap out-of-pocket, but I have been so ravenous the last two days. Has anybody else experienced this? Does it go away?
