I took Phentermine 2 years ago with great success — built a tolerance — have gone on and off since with no further weight loss success, but it does still curb my appetite enough to help me maintain. At the most, I was taking 37.5 mgs at 10:00 A M and another 18.75 mgs in the afternoon if needed. I was told I shouldn’t go higher than this; therefore, I’m curious to see what dosage others are taking. I weigh betweem 145 and 150 depending on how diligent I am with
diet.

I have had success with Phentermine. I take it morning and afternoon and do not have any side effects except dry mouth. I do drink a lot of water now and even that symptom seems to be going away. I committed to myself to take Phentermine for three months and then stop. Hopefully that is enough time for me to adjust to a healthier lifestyle and to get in shape so that I will enjoy physical activities more. I do not have cravings any more and my appetite is suppressed.
I began the process of altering my diet prior to going on Phen though. For example, I quit eating fast food about four months before starting my new eating plan. Then each month after that, I gave up another problem food. First cookies and cake, then chips and dip, then high fat cheeses. These are the foods that I struggle with, so I gave them up one at a time while still eating whatever else I wanted. Then when I was ready to start the diet, I began eating 1200 - 1400 calories a day and exercising about three times a week. I also tried to be more physically active in smaller ways, for example, taking the stairs and parking at the top of the lot
rather than at the door. I hope to work up to exercising more frequently but take satisfaction in the small progress that I am making. There are still areas where I struggle, like weighing myself two or three times a day (I know I should throw out the scale, but I can’t yet), but I am not having trouble with cravings/binges. I am going to take this one day at a time, and if I don’t lose any more, I am going to be grateful for what I have lost, and not gain it back.
I could never have done this without the help of phentermine.
