I've been on Phentermine on and off for about 12 years. Phentermine does work really well but as with any change in eating habits or diet, you must continue to eat well when you are off of it. Because Phentermine is classified as an Amphetamine, you will gain the weight back when you get off of it and possibly gain more. Just like a drug addict who is taking Meth-Amphetamines is usually super skinny, but when they get off of the drug, they gain alot of weight back. It works great in the beginning but Phentermine is a short term diet pill and after about 3 months of taking, you should get off it for a while because your body starts to become immune to it. You may want to take more of it and the more you take, the more dangerous it could become. I read on here where someone had high blood pressure because of it. Phentermine can definitely do that. As far as the girl with the menstrual cycle problems, I have never heard of Phentermine doing that, so you might want to check to make sure something else isn't wrong. Phentermine is the generic for Adipex. Adipex actually works ALOT better but your doctor actually has to write you the prescription for Adipex. Most doctors write Phentermine on the prescription and you cannot request Adipex. Your doctor actually has to prescribe it for you. I used to get my prescription filled out Walgreens or CVS and I was paying $54 a month for it. Then I heard Costco or Sam's Club sells it "at cost". Now I only pay $13.88 a month for it. I think I mostly just take Phentermine now to stay awake when I don't get enough sleep. Also, I had read on here where someone was breaking the 37.5 mg tablets in half and just taking a half a pill. I read in a drug insert on Phentermine that you should not break or crush them because it decreases the pill's effect significantly.

Phentermine (the generic for Adipex) tends to give me some strange side effects. I get random spots on my arms or head where it is fuzzy feeling and I get a patch of goose bumps. I do not have as much of cotton-mouth as I do with Adipex. Both phentermine and adipex have been wonderful! With not only the pill, but proper diet and exercise, I have lost as much as even 11 lbs. in a week. I love the extra boost!

Actually this is the only diet pilll that I have tried that I didn't really have side effects using. Its phentermine just like Adipex and Ionimin BUT Fastin is time released so I think thats why I personally didn't have that Blah feeling when it wore off and wasn't starving when it wore off.
Of course everyone is different in the way that medicines affect them...
Phentermine (2) Fastin (1) Levoxyl (1) Phentermine Hydrochloride (1)

I've been on levothyroxine 150mcg for about 3 months before that it was 100mcg and so on. I have gain lots of weight and tired all the time. depression also, headaches. I hate this gaining weight, sleepy all the time and depression is from gaining weight. I thought this med is to up boost my thryiode but it doesn't seem to be working. my dr. said I'm on the highest dose there is. I don't know what to do any more. I was thinking about taking myself off this but not sure what will happen if i do. I hope there is someone out there that might be able to let me know if they are going through the same things what they are doing and how they feel now.
