I also take Phentremine. I love it. I, too, am aware of the side effects. I am also aware of the side effects of being overweight. That said, it does greatly suppress my appetite. It also gives me energy that I would not otherwise have. The best way to desribe it is, it makes you get up off your butt and do something! My house is cleaner than it's ever been! Haha I've lost 30 lbs. in about 2 months. You do have to exercise when you're on it, though. If you don't, you will gain all the weight back and more when you stop taking it. (Trust me, I've done it!) But to me, it's worth it. Just be careful and take breaks from it. Also, stay under your doctor's care while taking it. Let them monitor you.

I also use phentermine, and I've been using it for about 9 months. It's a great appetite suppressant, however with long term use, your body gets used to it. In the beginning it worked wonders, I was surviving off of energy drinks for like 2 weeks! And not one time was I hungry. Now it just keeps me awake. I went from 2 pills a day to 1/2 a pill a day. The best suggestion that I have is to eat right and exercise. I know it's the same story from the 1920's but its the truth! If you just take one step at a time, you'll see more results. Remember the weight did not introduce itself to your body overnight, so it's not going to leave overnight. Once your mind is made up and you're determined to lose the weight, you'll lose it and you'll lose it the right way because that way it'll stay off. Think of it as a life style change and you'll have better results.
