Weight Loss
"I started taking Phentermine last summer to increase my energy and as a nice side effect to lose weight.  I was walking (fast) 3 miles everyday.  I was on oral diabetes medicction.  Through the exercise I lowered my choloesterol 41 points, got off the diabetes medicines and lost 9lbs. Phentermine did decrease my appetite, but didn&#039;t help me lose weight.  I ate EXTREMELY healthy, watching carbs, calories, etc. The side effects were horrible constipation, I would drink HUGE amounts of water everyday and still had extreme DRY mouth and skin.  Phentermine did increase my energy, sometimes feeling very jittery, especially at first, finding myself wired and only sleeping 3-4 hours a night.  NOT WORTH THE SIDE EFFECTS FOR ME."
