With Adipex, weight loss can be achieved easier and faster particularly in people who are heavily overweight.
Weight Loss with Adipex
If you’re one of the many who are looking to lose weight, you should know that you’re not alone. Even if you only have five pounds to lose, many people are looking to drop a size or to simply look better in their jeans. But if you have quite a bit of weight to lose and many obstacles to overcome when trying to diet then you may need more help than a rigid weight loss program can offer. With Adipex, you can begin to lose weight and have an easier time doing it than you thought was possible.
Why Prescription Drugs Work
Adipex is the name of a prescription diet pill that you can access at your doctor’s office. This chemical will help you by suppressing your appetite and giving you more energy. With this powerful combination of effects, you can begin to eat fewer calories, which will help you to lose weight easily without changing your diet. Just by eating less, you will be able to start creating calorie deficits each day. As you do this, you will begin to find that you are dropping inches and sizes without any additional work. And since you have more energy to do things, you will be able to fit in a workout, even at the end of a long work day.
Weight Loss Results from Adipex
For many patients, they are able to lose up to six pounds a week, at first. This is a dramatic weight loss and one which others will certainly notice. However, since Adipex is a controlled substance, there are dangers that users need to keep in mind before they take the pills. The reason why Adipex is a controlled substance is that it can be addictive. It is an amphetamine, so it can be difficult to stop taking if it’s not taken according to doctor’s orders. Even when the pill is taken correctly, patients will need to follow a specific tapering program to avoid withdrawal symptoms. Other side effects of Adipex use include insomnia, racing heart, dizziness, anxiety, diarrhea, headaches, constipation, and dry mouth. Some people find these side effects to be problematic and need to stop taking Adipex as a result.
Taking Other Drugs with Adipex
If you already take prescription drugs for any number of medical conditions, you may not be able to take Adipex. You will want to make sure to tell your doctor about all of the medications you take regularly to ensure you don’t have dangerous (even deadly) reactions from interactions. Some patients with heart troubles can have a dangerous blood pressure spike when pills are mixed.
Adipex is a powerful diet pill, but it is not the only option you have. You might want to look into other diet pills with fewer side effects if this is concerning to you. Non-prescription pills like Phentramin-d can help you still lose weight without the troubles a prescription can bring.
I lost 24lbs last year using adipex. they really do work, sad to say that ive gained it all back plus some. i want to try the phentramin-d. i need to lose 65lbs this time around. i really hope that these pills work, and i hope that its safe to buy from here. im planning a trip to barbados for the summer. it would be nice to get to wear a bathing suit. once i get started, i will be back with the results. i am 34, 5’5, and weigh 231.

I had used adipex 2 years ago and yes it really worked for me too. But since I have had a new baby and need something to help me get the weight off! Was wondering how phentramin-d worked for you? Were the results as fast?
I will be starting Adipex again after 2yrs….last time I was on it I lost 30lbs in 2m. This time after having my baby, I want to drop 55lbs…so much luck to all…
Today marked my 1 month of taking Adipex and I’ve lost 20lbs so far! I am so excited to finally be shedding the final lbs of the baby weight I gained! I strolled my baby religiously every day about 1-2 miles and did my home elliptical during the 1st year, my son is fixing to be 19 months old and I’m finally getting past these final 10lbs that were hanging on strong! Only 5 more lbs to go and I will be 155lbs (pre pregnancy weight) once again! But I will be continuing further for sure! I’ve actually got the energy to do small workouts and seeing the fat disappear and results is even more motivating! I am one happy Adipix patient!
this is exactly where I am at and hoping that my doctor will finally put me on adipex.
i have a 7 month old and i’m tryimg to get the last 8lbs of baby fat off and a whole lot more. what have your exercise plans been during the months of adipex? i figure after i get off from work i could walk the track with my baby. is that sufficient enough for the exercise??
My doctor prescribed this medicine to me today. tomorrow i will start taking it. i am really excited about it. When do u start to notice the weight loss? i am over weight. i weight 300 plus pounds and my height is a 5’5.good luck to me
i’m in the same boat as you. Good luck to us both
Hello Kelly, I just wanted to see if you have had any side affects on the Adipex ? I am starting it tomorrow
Hi, was wondering if could get some advice. I have been on Adipex for a week now and no results. I have noticed my appetite is less and not eating nearly as much. I exercise 3-4 times a week but nothing.
Cindy – I recommend that you keep a daily record of the calories you are eating. A good one online is Fitday.com. I recommend this because it is possible you are still consuming too many calories. What was the diet recommendations that your doctor made when they prescribed Adipex to you? Also, try to stay away from salt (sodium) and drink plenty of water.
If you are still not down in another week and have followed your doctor’s advice and the tips above, then make an appointment for a re-assessment as it might not be the right drug for you.
I have been on Adipax for almost a month….I have lost 16lbs. (I was 304lbs) I do exercise daily and write down everything I eat. The first few days I gained 3 lbs, I wasn’t eating enough! Also had probelms sleeping, but that went away after 5 days (I was almost ready to quit taking them) Back on track now….good luck to all.
I am wondering how people have done. I do not find a problem sleeping and can barely eat much since started it two days ago. A koloache fills me with just half of it. I am drinking plenty of water and but 4 in the afternoon am sonked and that could just be because i chase two kids all day. I am not eating much and didnt before the pills but I have PCOS and Endometriosis and it is hard to lose weight period. Hope all are doing good, the only symptom I have is the diarrhea which is not so bad today.
Hi, I’m dani, I have PCOS as well so I definitely feel your pain, sister.
I started Adipex and another drug called Metformin (to control the PCOS). The mix has been great for me in the way of losing weight. I feel good (the first day was rough, felt like I would imagine it would feel like to snort cocaine) but now I feel great. You might want to ask your doctor about Metformin for you PCOS, it’s not a weight loss drug but it inhibits your body’s production of insulin because with PCOS you make too much (insulin resistance) at one point I didn’t lose for 6 months while dieting and excersizing because of that pesky PCOS. On Tuesday morning I started them both I weighed 248.2 lbs… today (Thursday, two days later) I weighed myself this morning and 242.2.. 6 LBS!!! GOOD LUCK!!
I am wondering if Adipex shows up on drug tests?? I am wanting to try it, my friend has it, and she doesnt take it, my lil girl is 14 weeks old, but I am on probation, and dont want to take it if it will show up… Anyone know?
Mindy – According to passyourdrugtest.com, Adipex (Phentermine) stays in your urine for up to 2 days and in your hair for 90 days. If you are nursing your baby DO NOT take this medication.
I have lost 42 pounds on adipex!My goal is to lose 28 more pounds altogether. It really has changed my life. I didn’t just take the pill and lose, you have to be serious about it and with it! I exercise 3-4 times a week, 1500 calorie diet, 100 grams of carb daily, drink 80 oz or more of water. It’s all in the faith that you have in yourself and the amount of will power you are willing to use towards your weight loss. I used to roll my eyes at the people who said that it’s a lifestyle change until I lost the weight. It is a lifestyle change, I never want to get back to what I was. Stay strong and you too will start to see a difference and feel better about yourself! Good luck to all and remember to be smart and safe with this and any prescription drug!

I’ve been taking this script for 2 weeks and with starting the script, I also starting drinking lots of water stopped eating junk food. I have lots 10 lbs and I feel really good like I have energy and urges to eat sugary foods has been there but I have been able to fight it.
I am posting b/c I am really nervous that when I stopped taking this I may gain everything back. I worry that I will not have as much will power and my metabolism will slow down. I’m not sure how to combat that….any suggestions??
my wife has been on the pills for one month and has lost 15 pounds but with excercise she hopes to double that next month!Wish her luck
Hi, I have been on the adipex going on my 3rd week. I had gastric bypass in 2004 and after I lost my weight I had a baby and its been a battle ever since to get this weigh back off and it just keeps adding up. My 1st week I lost 8lbs, last week I had lost 4 so in total 12lbs. I can feel it in my clothes that I’m loosing weight even though it don’t show to me when I look at myself. At first I was I never had hunger pains but now they are back, but when I go to eat I still eat less. When I have the hunger pains that makes me want to eat though to get rid of the feeling. I have gave up sugary foods and my soda. When I have sweet craving which aren’t often I found that a T spoon of peanut butter helped
Well I started taking Adipex last Friday. As of today 5days later whether you believe it or not. I have lost 12 pounds in 5 days. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I looked at the scale. I had to step back on. Especially from what I weighed on just Thursday was shocking and depressing. My doctor also prescribed me a fatburner called Leanguard. I take Leanguard 3 times a day, Adipex once a day, exercised 3 times within those 5 days and changed my calorie intake. I feel GREAT!!!! thirsty but GREAT!!!! lol
Ok well on adipex for my 3rd week and this past week I only lost 1pound. I don’t understand because my 1st wk I lost 8 and the 2nd wk I lost 4. The thing that I did change was that I started taking the pill after breakfast because I felt it wasn’t suppressing my appitite all day. I would feel hungry more towards the evening. Does anyone have any suggestions to how I can get this to get back into gear???? And I don’t feel it working as good as it was when I first started and my stomach is a little ill. Whats going on?
