Unfortunately, I already do this. I find too much cardio (like when I'm playing hard-core tennis 3 times a week) just makes me starving.

Does no one have a success story with phentermine to tell?

OP, I get really hungry after I run too, but I find that eating vegetables/fruit immediately after a hard run prevents me from becoming ravenous. I keep chopped veggies and fruit in the fridge, and I make sure to vary them. Just as an example, I ran for an hour yesterday evening, and then had some cantaloupe cubes right after, and later some raw carrots and a pomegranate before bed. I was fine. If I hadn't eaten the veggies/fruit, I would have certainly ended up binging on a high calorie choice at night. I know I need to snack, so I find that planning for this helps me, rather than trying not to snack at all. I also find that eating tuna with a little vinegar is good if I'm still hungry at night (no bread, just the tuna).

This. If you really want to lose weight, stop looking for short cuts. You aren't even overweight. Shame on any doctor who would prescribe to someone in a normal weight range.

Pretty much I would eat breakfast and take the pill and then not eat again for the rest of the day. Whole thing was a waste. It's not a magic pill.

You should probably look into other medical issues provided you were eating enough. There's a good chance you weren't eating enough calories so your body went into starvation mode. But your experience of 5 lbs in 3 months isn't normal or typical.

Phentermine will do nothing to teach you the discipline needed to maintain weight loss.

Don't buy of the internet. Your name, address, email, and phone numbers will be shared worldwide. You will be called every month or two from a variety of sellers, wiht a variety of accents and English skills, until you change your phone number.

I suggest Dr. Scott Kahan at the National Center for Weight and Wellness in DC for a comprehensive wellness review and a plan that might include meds, depending. He won't just write a prescription. But with a no-nonsense plan of diet and exercise, and some use of medication that I no longer use, I have lost 45 lbs. and kept it off. I have to continue to manage my eating and exercise, though, and always will.

Please don't look for shortcuts. I did that for 30 years and failed every time.

Dominic Rubino MD. She's the one to see. Also, you might be surprised that your PCP might just Rx it. Start with 15 mg. I loved being in it. Life changing!

Did you get palpitations?

I did not. I took it for lost 3 years. Lost 30 lbs quickly and kept it off for a very long time - I'm currently pregnant with second child (and last) and look forward to going on it again. I felt amped up every now and then but got used to it quickly. It's really not that big of a deal. So many people are on it.

Dr. Michael Anchors in Gaithersburg. Quick and easy. It's absolutely life changing as another poster here mentioned.
