I went to Be Lite after going to Dr. Anchors (because it was closer). They compound their own phentermine and give it to you in 15 (mg?) pills. I found it hard to mimic the effect of the prescription strength 37.5 that you get with Dr. A. 30 was too little and 45 was too much. I also found the 5-HTP/carbidopa didn't really do anything for cravings. YMMV.
Curious as to the cost- I was shocked that my visit w/ Anchors was only $140 for the (weird, weird, weird) 45 minute counseling sesh and 120 pills. What does Be Lite charge?
It's on the website. I paid $175 for the appt. and one month of pills. I think I paid around the same but for 2 months of pills for Dr. A.

Forgot this side affect, you might only poop once or twice a week. Went from regular once a day to not remembering when the last time was. Not necessarily constipated, think there just isn't much waste since eating so much less. (By the way, today was the day)

Me again. Well, damn, that didn't take long. LOL LOL LOL
How are you feeling?? I have my first appt with Anchors in about a week and am nervous about the first day of trying it. Do you feel weird? Also, any tips for a Newbie at her first appt with Anchors? Also I have about 25 lbs to lose but not really much more, and because I am tall and muscular I carry it well. Will he still prescribe to me?
He will, he may just give a lecture on how not every woman needs to look like Barbie, and how men like a woman with curves (which bothered me a bit, because my appearance is not for the sole purpose of pleasing my husband). Anyway, I just sort of sat there and nodded, and maybe said something about wanting clothes to fit better.
Fwiw, I'm 5'3" and have been on for about a month. Down about 10 pounds so far, with 13 to go. I agree that can actually be hard to eat enough, and I'm only aiming for 1000-1200 calories per day. But I used to snack a lot at night, so I've always tried to eat super light during the day to compensate. Now, i have no desire to snack at night, but I'm still not eating much during the day. Even when my body feels hungry, my brain doesn't really want to eat and food doesn't seem super appealing. Which is crazy, because I feel like my day used to revolve around thinking about food.
For side effects, the first few days I definitely had that super caffeinated jittery feeling, but that subsided. I also didn't sleep well for a couple of weeks - like, maybe 4-5 hours a night, but I didn't feel tired. I sort of wish that hadn't worn off. But now it's pretty much back to normal. I notice I sweat more, esp under my arms. Maybe feel a bit more chill from the Prozac, but not significantly. Not tons more amorous, but maybe less disinclined, of that makes sense?
Forgot one other side effect - constantly feels like I have a small lump in the back of my throat. Apparently it's caused by the Prozac. It's a little annoying, but not that big of a deal. I've read that it often goes away eventually.

Reading his manual now and it says "%-HTP 50mg twice a day can sometimes substitute for any of these SSRI drugs"

Does it affect you mentally or affect your level of concentration at all during the day? Wondering if it has a negative affect on work performance.

PP here. I also get up between 5 and 6 AM. The key for me is to take it right after I get up, basically in lieu of coffee. If I forget and haven't taken it by 9AM at the latest, I skip that day.
I'm usually 8:30am, no later than 9am on a weekday. Friday or Sat may go to 9:30am if I forgot earlier.
Dr Anchors said @10am is optimal so it lasts all day. Makes sense to shift this if you are on an earlier schedule!
