[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was one of the posters in another thread - been on it for 9 months and unfortunately it has stopped working. Went up to two pills and doc wants three. I am not comfortable with that dose. I do still take it (probably addicted) because of the energy boost. I haven't gained the weight back but also started running 30-40 miles a week where I did very little cardio before. I could not have run 30 lbs ago. That being said, maintaining this will be hard. I don't regret taking it but the reality is that it is a boost to weight loss and not the magic bullet. Good luck.[/quote]

I'm sorry to hear that. Are you taking it in combination with Prozac or similar? How many months did it work for you?[/quote]

Yes - I take Effexor and topomax for migraines anyway so was already on two of the combos that it is mixed with. The drug worked for a good 6 months but I also majorly increased my cardio exercise - zero to 30+ miles of running a week.  I believe it would have stopped working prior to 6 months otherwise. But - as I mentioned, it is a stimulant so it gives you an energy boost which is motivating to get up and go work out. However, you also have to question whether the increase in heart rate limits how far and how much you can push yourself with exercise. Plus the big question of addiction as I haven't tried to live without it.  All questions I ponder on the treadmill. [/quote]

Thank you so much for clarifying. I'm on month 4 and share your concern about maintaining the lost weight. From reading Anchor's interviews, it seems the majority of his patients stays on some dosage of Phenpro long term. Are you planning on going that route? Also, when you say it has stopped working, do you mean in terms of ongoing weight loss or hunger/craving control? I find I still get the latter, but weight loss has slowed down quite a bit. Wondering if cravings will come back, too. It's been very liberating not obsessing over food so much and I'd love to keep that.

Wishing you ongoing success on this journey![/quote]
