Weight Loss
"This is my second go-round with Phentermine. 5 years ago, I had to research AND BEG, my PCP to prescribe me something for weight loss. I was about 220 lbs then. Was on 15 mg Phentermine for 8 weks, and lost about 20 lbs, but then my doctor abruptly stopped it because it &quot;wasn&#039;t her specialty.&quot; In the past 5 years, I have ballooned to 273 (as of 2/11/15). I was laid-up, had some debilitating health issues, etc. My weight was never really an issue  until I hit my mid-20s (32 now.). However, a friend referred me to her PCP, who also prescribes weight loss meds. I&#039;m on 15 mg now for 1st mo til f/u. We are looking at a 6 mo plan. Already lost approx. 2-3 lbs in 3 days. Home scales are a lil iffy- but it&#039;s encouraging! I&#039;d like to lose 100 lbs ."
