Weight Loss
"Female 37 yrs w Starting wt 263/ending wt 230.  Was on phentermine 37.5 for 3 months. Lost 15lbs first month, 10 second, and 8 the last month.  Only dealt w jitteriness, insomnia, dry mouth for the first 2 weeks. I made sure to take pill early and would take a half pill periodically if side effects were bothersome. By the end of first month side effects were gone except for constipation,  and I was able to maintain 1400-1600 calorie per day goal. Around week 7 or 8, I noted that my appetite was not very suppressed, so I would eat breakfast, and take pill 30 minutes before lunch. This seemed to boost the appetite suppression for me. I walked 4-5 miles about twice a week. Hoping to continue diet and wt loss after stopping phentermine."
