Phentermine For Weight Loss | Side Effects & Best Practices

I honestly LOVE phentermine. I'm a very low energy and sleepy person, so imsomnia is not a problem AT ALL. If I'm taking phentermine I even take a nap during the day because I feel a bit sleepy. Phentermine makes me feel so much more motivated to do things, my energy levels are great! But, when I started taking it I had to drink around 4 litters of water per day. Now I don't feel that thirsty when I take it, but I still try to hydrate a lot because I know that this drug dehydrates me a lot.

[@jamesmcdonald7159]

Have male take this medicine?

[@gracejones2831]

I, too, have been low energy my entire life. Nothing I do changes that. Phentermine gives me a boost and even if I take later in the day I have no issue falling asleep. If you see this I hope you dont mind me asking if there are things you have tried to combat your low energy? I have finally excepted it and dont beat myself up about it anymore.

[@Kayyleeeeee]

I just got prescribed! This is great to hear.

Phentermine was an incredible appetite suppressant. If you feel like your appetite is out of control and you can’t stop binging, this one’s for you. For me the dry mouth was bothersome at first but it improved over a few weeks. The most severe side effect for me was a drastic reduction in my libido. As a person who is used to being sexually active every day, this side effect took me time to get used to. Overall it’s been a game changer for me and helped me get my diet back in my control!

[@shawnahmadi6790]

Hey Ron, about the libidio was it a combination of not being to get it up or not thinking about itnat all? and did that part improve ?

Any side affects ?

[@terry-annhaye170]

Yes. Very dry mouth, headaches, insomnia which gets better once you become used to it.

[@nomessnostress]

I like the dry mouth it makes me stay on track with my water lol

[@Jess-kn8vl]

I found taking vitamins and minerals, with some extra magnesium and potassium as needed helps with side effects like headache.

[@ThrewOutMyHalo]

Yes, when you drop your carbs too low (20 net grams) or less, you start losing electrolytes. Because you are ridding your body of water weight. So, you need to take an electrolyte supplement or drink to replenish those. Low potassium causes heart palpitations. I drink lmnt electrolyte drink, I only eat about 7 carbs a day.

@user-kx1sl8wd1s I use LMNT. They can be kinda pricy. Its sugar free. The one I like is Chili Mango or watermelon flavor. Only put about half the pack at one time. Liquid IV makes a sugar-free one too.

[@rocketj7449]

Been on Phentermine for 40 days now, and I like it. It helps you achieve a sense of fullness sooner when eating a meal, and it causes me to lose interest in pleasure foods. I have experienced the GI issues, occasional headaches, and mouth dryness. However, combined with a better diet, eliminating alcohol, and exercising every week, I have been able to drop 10 lbs. So, this is not the magical pill that will do all the work for you, you also need to make changes, eat better, and exercise. I have tried other weight loss drugs, but didn't like the cognitive side effects, like a numb feeling, or out of body experience. I immediately stopped taking that after the first day. So far Phentermine has been working well for me.

[@HealthRX]

You nailed it. No weight loss pill is a magical pill. Kudos on your progress so far. Wish you all the best.

Greetings from Australia. Thank you for your information dear Doctor. I've recently put on a lot of weight and my GP here in Australia have prescribed me Phentermine 30 mg. Upon reading the health info pamphlet I was shocked to read that it got both low & high side effects. What concerns me is the Higher risks of side effects like heart attacks that's been clearly stated there. Upon further investigation I learnt that it's banned in the US and here in Australia. But it is only accessible on prescription and under legal & safe authorization sold in pharmacies. I'm 81 kgs and 5 feet 1 inches and suffer from high cholesterol, obesity and also on thyroid meds as I suffer from inactive thyroid. Plus I got acute anxiety & depression and liver problems. Upon suffering from all these ailments still Im in shock that my doctor prescribed me this medication. I wasn't overweight 3 yrs ago. In 2020 I was 12 kgs in weight. Can you please advise Doctor I don't want to suffer from hear palpitations or heart attack😭😥

[@HealthRX]

I'm sorry to hear you are going through all that. Typically, your doctor will do a risk benefit analysis and determine whether the medication is worth prescribing. I'm thus assuming that your doctor has taken all your risk factors into consideration. I think you need to be frank with your doctor and discuss your fears and see what he thinks. One thing that caught my eye though is the fact that you mentioned you are on thyroid medication. I'm not sure if you see and endocrinologist or how the system works in Australia. I bring it up because, hormonal imbalances, include thyroid hormones, may contribute to weight gain. A good starting point will be to ensure that any such contributing factor to your weight gain is taken care off. Speaking to an endocrinologist to ensure your thyroid meds and doses etc are adequate will not be a bad idea. Wish you all the best.

I had hyperthyroid and it's gone now I was on Levothyroxine but I got off it on my own. I'm taking iodine and selenium and my thyroid is normal now. I'm back starting Phentermine this week but I'm taking half of the pill!

I had a friend who used this. And 3 years after she stopped it, she had hard problems. I just recently was watching a woman on KZbin. Who claimed that she has heart problems and had gold ladder problems period you have to understand when you take these things that control your hunger. It causes a great deal of problems with in your system. That's one area they cannot seem to help human beings with without causing outside effects that could cost you your life period my girlfriend is overweight and she's so terribly unhappy she has ABM I of thirty, she's borderline diabetic and they still won't give her any of the new shots to take to lose weight and none of the insurance companies will pay for it, though wait another 10 or 15 years of people dying and getting sick, trying anything to lose weight when they know. Now it's a disease it's not what they eat period I eat 10 times more than she does and she gains weight and I don't.

[@karlaf.64]

I had no idea they’d even prescribe it for that long period of time! My dr prescribed me only a month as she mentioned this should be an initial crutch and not a long term solution. I have about 80 lbs overweight so maybe it depends on that? Either way hope your friend is doing better!

[@JK-cc5oz]

My doctor just prescribed this for me I'll be starting with 15 mg. I generally don't like taking medications I'm not on any at all. Years ago I had an adrenal gland removed that result blood pressure issues. I see an endocrinologist every year, I'm borderline with any thyroid concerns. Here are my recent test...
