For those who are unaware, Phertermine is a doctor prescribed medication that helps suppress the appetite. It's sold in weight loss clinics, family doctor can prescribed them and etc. There's different dosages and it's suppose to aid you in changing your eating habits too. There's been many success stories and testimonies if you search the web on them.
Some friends of mine have been using it over the past years (on/off and others for short term times) and I've seen really good weight loss from them and what I assumed was because of regular exercise and dieting. Wasn't aware they had a little "help". My co-worker lost 75lbs on them last year and accredits it to the pills. And trust me, it ain't due to her eating habits because she still eats whatever junk she wants - which to me defeats the purpose but meh.
Anyways, I went in Nov '09 to try it out at a weight loss clinic and was checked, screened and did a run-through with the doctor for me to be able to take it. I honestly didn't feel any suppression at all and felt hungrier, actually. Which sucks because my friend who did it a month after me felt the effects and has lost 26lb since Dec '09. Because I'm not insured and the clinic I go to is a bit pricier - I couldn't afford to pay the $100 for a months supply so I stopped for the past few months. I plan on going back soon and give it one more go. I am in the meantime just watching what I eat but it's been a struggle since I've been overweight majority of my life and need that extra... "help" lol. But I'm pretty smart and I'm not relying on some miracle drug - unlike my friends who see it as so.
Has any fellow members taken Phentermine or either of the Phen-family or know others who have taken it?
If so, please share your experience.
