There are several different drug companies who make phentermine. I find some work better than others. What is the imprint on your pill? Also, does the dr give you the pills or do you take a prescription to a pharmacy?

It is not the generic, white with blue specks, oblong shaped. The Prozac is a generic, green & yellow capsule. He gives the pills to you in the office.

I'm shocked he is giving Adipex. How much is the office visit? And that includes both meds for a month?

About 10 years ago, I had insurance that actually paid for phen. One month I opted to pay $20 instead of $10 to see how it worked and it did not work better than the generic they were giving me then. I just got a prescription filled at Giant yesterday and the pills are marked differently (LCI 1445) than the ones I got 3 months ago, and I'm worried it's not going to be as effective. I went to Giant over Safeway specifically to get a certain generic and it didn't happen.

Btw, I used GoodRx yesterday and got 90 phen for $18.26 at Giant.

For me, office visit and two months of Phentermine & generic prozac $170

I've been taking the medications and following Dr Anchor's advice since March 22. So far I have lost 13 pounds. I have about 40 more to go. I have had no side effects and the combo is very effective in suppressing my appetite. I've been focused on building better eating habits and walking every day.

Great news! Thanks for sharing.

This is me. 3/17/17 at 163.2, now 151.6 as of this morning 4/5. Honestly no side effects from the pill at all. Feel great, wish I could stay on if forever. Had my period this week and usually there would be two days it felt like I couldn't eat enough, not this time. It did seem a little bit heavier, but that may be because I'm in my mid-40's and starting to get a little wacky.

Overall clothes are fitter looser, main loss in my stomach & waist (I have an hourglass figure). I had jeans that I could barely zip now require a belt to stay on. My neck & face showed the most change the first week, there was puffiness I hadn't realized was there. I do wish there was more change in my face & arms/upper back. No real change in my breasts, fine with me, I think they are great .

did make the mistake of thinking I could have a cup of regular coffee. Made it about 1/2 through it before heart started racing and eyes went a little loopy. Two or three days a week I do have about 2/3 of a cup of decafe at work.

I work out after dinner for 30-40 minutes 4-5 times a week. Nothing extreme. 1-2 miles on elliptical and some machines.

How is everyone doing?

For me, weight loss has slowed down, from last post on 4/5 to 4/24, 145.8. Even had one week where the scale said I gained over a pound (honestly, I have a pretty crappy scale so not sure that was right) I have about 3 weeks left of pills and not sure he would give me both, maybe, maybe just the phen. but not even sure about that. I carry my weight very well so look like I weigh less than I actually do. I'd like to get to 125/130.

I started a thread on Qsymia not knowing this one existed.

I'm on day 2 of 3.75 mg of Qsymia and so far I can't really say it's helping with my appetite. Is it supposed to build up in the system?

Are you taking phen or phen + pro?

Dr Anchors' research shows that phen stops working gradually over time, but adding the SSRI to the phen– hence the pro for Prozac – extends phen's appetite suppressing qualities for a while. I don't remember for how long. But I've been taking it for about five weeks and it's still working great.

How's everyone doing? My weightloss stalled after 3 weeks. Didnt lose weight this week but hope to start losing again. My appetite is back so the phen-pro seems to be losing some of its effectiveness.

[Anonymous]

I gotta ask - I have been on the Phen Pro regimen for a week. The first three days I lost 3 lbs and after that the scale has not moved. I have 20 lbs to lose and watch my diet, no snacks carbs etc. I exercise moderately every day. I am 60 yrs old, do you think age is the issue?

[Anonymous]

after 3 months, I've lost 28lbs total. the phentermine is not quite as effective, but it does give me the boost to get through the day still. Anyone who is hoping that it will completely choke out appetite like it did in first days/weeks will probably be disappointed, but after 3 months I still find it highly effective and lose about 2-3 lbs per week.

Also, last month i hit a patch where it really didnt feel like it was doing much. i went back to my doc, who supplemented it with phendimetrezine...totally jump started me...i'm no longer taking the phendimeterzine because i forget about it mid day--no issues again with wanting to snack.

This is me. On both, Phentermine & prozac. As of today at 144. I feel much smaller so think I have been gaining muscle from exercising so the scale isn't giving the whole picture. All of my old pants & shorts slide off my body when buttoned & zipped, that is with a very hourglass figure. My shirts are like tunics now. Belts are too loose on the last hole.

For the most part, I still don't have much of an appetite, like I could easily eat only 500 calories (have to pay attention to NOT do that). Even missed two days of pills and didn't seem to make much difference. As far as cravings, I like when my body is headed so that might be what is squashing those cravings.

I'm headed to see Dr. Anchors tomorrow. So nervous, but am so sick of how badly I feel about myself. Have a solid 30 pounds to lose.

I'm also an earlier poster checking in. Started on 3/25 @ 195. As of 5/9 I'm at 183ish. I've lost about 12 pounds so far in 6.5 weeks. I'm happy with that. I have definitley not been perfect, and I haven't had a chance to work out at all, although I do generally like to (just really busy right now). But I've been making better choices overall and heading in the right direction. I'm trying to focus on something that is sustainable for me, so I tend to vascilate between 1200-1800 calories and over the week I probably average around 1400-1500, which feels in the healthy rang. Focusing on lots of fruits and veggies, fewer carbs, more protein and healthy fats. But wine is my downfall and probably why I haven't lost more yet. My prescription runs out in about two weeks, so I was plannign to make another appointment.

Anyone with Dr. Anchors know how long he will proscribe the meds? This was my first two months, and I'd really like to do another 2-4 and see if I can get down to 160ish.

3 lbs in a week is a good loss. I'll add that I'm 50 and didn't lose a single pound after an entire regimen on phentermine.

I'm one of the posters from above taking Qysmia. Today is day 10 and i'm down 10 lbs. I'm trying to stay around 1300 calories every day and have one cheat day. I'm also doing this thing where basically I have to have three servings of veggies, two servings of fruit and 8 glasses of water. So far, so good.

I have to ask - did anyone else see a huge spike in their libido? I'm on the Phen Pro and literally am unsatiable. I feel the urge all the time and nothing has changed other than I started PhenPro two weeks ago.
