Obesity
"I am 35, 248lbs and am taking phentermine (generic Adipex). I have taken it previously. I am familiar with how it would effect me.  I am using it in conjunction with a healthy eating plan and exercise.  I take 1 pill every other day 1st thing in the morning. I know from previous experience taking it everyday it makes it very hard for me to sleep at night and also makes me constipated so I have increased my fiber and water intake.  Without the medication, it was extremely hard for me to get started eating better and limiting my calorie intake plus start exercising again.  It really is a great kick start to give you energy and help keep you on track when going through a lifestyle change like you have to do to lose the weight when you are obese."
