I'm currently on week 3 of Contrave (2 pills in the AM/1 in the PM). When should I possibly be noticing a decrease in appetite/cravings? Evenings are the worst for me, and I'm finding absolutely NO decrease in my desire to eat. Am I being too impatient? I was on Phentermine for 4 months, and had lost 30 lbs. I had started to plateau, and that's why my Dr. switched me to Contrave. Since I started with this medication, I've gained 8-10 lbs. because my evening appetite is back. I'm currently on a diet/exercise program where I'm eating typically 1000-1200 calories per day. ## I am having the exact same problem. If anyone can help answer this question I'm willing to listen. ## Regarding when Contrave starts working, I think the answer is going to be quite differen...

my son came out positive to bzo...he says he was given pills to loose weight and he gave them to me they have a dch with a little matrix above the c. has anyone heard about this or seen this before. I wish you can help me...many thanks ## Hello, KB! How are you? Yes, from what I can find, these are listed as being weight loss pills from Mexico, but I can't find anything stating what the specific ingredients are… However, what I do know is that the FDA issue recent warnings on several of these products, due to the fact that they contained a potentially dangerous combination of ingredients, including Benzodiazepines, which carry the risk of being habit forming and are very commonly abused. I'll keep looking and see if I can find more definitive information for you. Have you ...

The label says 'phentermine' but it is a small round pink pill. I have searched many databases but most phentermine pills are white and blue. Can anyone help me identify this pill? ## Are there any markings on the tablet? If there aren't, it is going to be impossible to positively identify it. There are just far too many possibilities. It could be an over the counter item or a supplement. I am sorry, I wish I could be of more help. ## There are no details on the pill but I do know it is an appetite suppressent and the bottle said phentermine ## My friend has just come back from a slimwise clinic she has been given some round pink pills and there are no markings but have phentermine on the front ## hi i am taking the same pills small round pink tablets with no markings but wa...

I’m in my second month taking Mounjaro for weight loss. I am in the first month on the .5 dosage. On week 2 I noticed an extremely itchy red welt at the injection site on my stomach. Week 3’s site is the same. Is anyone else experiencing this? Should I be concerned? I have no other side effects. ## Hello, Cindy! How are you? You should have youf doctor check it out, to be safe, because if you are having an allergic reaction, it could get worse with time, and repeated exposure. Most administration site reactions are benign, so it may not be anything to worry about, but it never hurts to be sure. The FDA lists other side effects of Mounjaro as possibly including nausea, dizziness, diarrhea, appetite loss, and abdominal pain. Ref: Mounjaro Information ## Good afternoon. Let me ...

Tomei Dinintel cerca de 20 anos. Acham que posso dizer algo sobre o assunto?!... Ah! E se alguém me puder providenciar Dinintel, eu compro. Já agora: Há libertação de H2O, O2 e 2Cl-, se bem me lembro. Não é Anfetamina nem causa dependência. ...Quando dizem que tomaram ás 50 capsulas, logo se deduz que são primários e o Dinintel não é adequado a eles!... Trabalha por fazes...

Pink pill with BI62 ## Would like information on availability.

I have taken phentermine several times and always had great results. I was prescribed phentermine 37.5 mg a few weeks ago and it doesn’t seem to be working. It has absolutely no effect on me. I still have an appetite, no increase in energy and haven’t lost any weight. I cannot seem to figure out what is going on this time and why it’s not working but it’s driving me insane and I have major anxiety over why it’s not working. Anyone have an experience like this? ## Is this prescription phentermine or the knock offs found on the Internet ? ## It is prescription. I have also gotten the same prescription from the same pharmacy before. ## Hello Riggsbo, According to the National Institute of Health phentermine should only assist in depressing your appetite and wi...

I have been on the 2 pills in morning and evening for a week and a half. All of a sudden I started getting so dizzy I couldn't stand and my right arm shakes like crazy once in a while. Is this normal? I have had to miss a couple days of work because I was so dizzy. I stopped taking it a few days ago but I still have the same problems. How long till it stops? ## It may take several days for your symptoms to subside, but you should consult your doctor to be sure whether they have been caused by the medication, or if something else is going on. The FDA lists the typical side effects of Contrave as possibly including nausea, headache, appetite loss, and nervousness. Ref: Contrave Information How are you doing, now? Has there been any change?

I was on Phentermine for years, which I know isn't how it's designed, but every time I relocated the doctor asked for a list of my current meds and I put it on there, so it kept cycling. In addition, I am on a few bipolar meds and Adderall. Approximately six months ago, my doctor decided that it was time to stop the Phentermine as it was a short-term drug and I had been on it for years. I was so scared of weight gain as Geodon was adding enough pounds alone. It took nearly four months to taper fully off. My experience (and for many people I know) is that when you begin Adderall it decreases your appetite, but that doesn't last forever. I'm getting a bit of my appetite back (I'm not restricting or starving myself) but I think I could be doing better or how I was doing...

Are these german diet drops still available? I know they worked. I knew a German gal in 1980. ## Yes, it's now called Alvalin. It costs €25 - I tried to get a prescription but they like to check your vitals before prescribing it. It will elevate blood pressure but it can be taken with blood pressure meds. ## I was in Germany in the 1990's and I use to go to a German Dr to get the b12 drops, but it comes in pill form too. ## From what I've been reading across other related threads here, these X112 diet drops stopped being available many years ago. It's interesting though that when something works really well it seems to either get banned or pulled from the market, only to be replaced by inferior alternatives with just as many if not more side effects.

I took Contrave and lost 52 pounds in 10 months, which has put me back to my ideal body weight. The problem is that it has not been working after that 10 months. I don’t have any side effects, but have a ridiculous appetite now. Almost to the point of wanting to binge eat. Anybody else been on it a while and have it stop working? I’ve gained almost 10 pounds back in the last few months. I’m not sure whether to ask my doctor about stopping it, but I’m afraid my appetite will be even worse. Anybody? ## Why is Contrave not working? According to the official manufacturer’s website, there are a number of possible reasons why you’re not losing weight: You’re Not Getting Enough SleepYou’re Not Drinking Enough WaterYour Exercise Routine Is Ineffec...

I have been taking adderall for ADD for a few years now and all the appetite suppressant effects associated with adderall are no longer there for me. Since phentamine is in the same class with Adderall, would it be pointless to take phentamine as an appetite suppressant or will phentamine still be able to help me with a decreased desire to eat?. ## Hello, PinkSlay! How are you? Actually, it really wouldn't be safe to take both. They both can cause accelerated heart rate and elevated blood pressure, so combining them may be dangerous. Have you consulted your doctor? ## I took both for a few years until my doctor wised up and thought better of having me on two stimulants at once. Then the phentermine went out the door. The appetite curbing aspect of Adderall wears off after a period o...

I was prescribed Phentermine 15 mg capsules....on the bottle it says Phentermine generic for Phentermine HCL...I have never taken a med of this type & I am kinda scared... Can anyone help me with what it contains and if there are any really bad side effects and is it slow release? I need to lose 30 lbs. ## Hello, Dawn! How are you? Phentermine is the active ingredient, it is used to aid in weight loss. The FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, nervousness and insomnia. And no, it is a regular release medication. Can anyone that's taken it chime in with their experience? ## Dawn, Well, it's been several years since your post, so you prob have it figured out by now. But, i'll write anyway....

Hi this is Indu 30 yrs old my weight is 85 kg how to reduce. ## Hii can I loss my weight with ebexid ## I believe you are describing the European equivalent of America's " Qsymia" brand medication ?

If so, what is your question, perhaps I may be of some help as I've been using it , myself. ## Just chiming in... thta's what I proposed to my doctor when Qysmia was too expensive.

OMGOSH... I can not believe I am asking this, but.... I am on month 4 of Contrave and my urine has an odor. I have looked at the side effects and I do not see that as one of them.... Does anyone else have this issue or is it just me? ## Almost any medication can cause such a side effect, according to NIH studies, since you are adding a new chemical to your body.

I need to know how to stop taking contrave. Can I just quit cold turkey or do I wean off? If I wean off how do I do it? ## Hello, Janice! How are you? How long have you been taking it?

I took lexamil for 3 months and gradually came off it. Now almost a month after i no longer take lexamil i have noticed that i am gaining weight rapidly and feeling bloated and uncomfortable all the time. Weight gain has occurred even though i am dieting and exercising currently. Please help ## Since you have already stopped the Lexamil, and you're experiencing the weight gain, and bloating, over a month after, it is most likely unrelated to the medication. Ref: Lexamil Information Has anything else changed in your lifestyle, or eating habits, recently? It could also be a natural change due to aging, our bodies do change with time. Are you on any other medications?

Hi everyone. I'm new to phentermine (today will be the 4th half of a 37.5 MG pill) and I must say it's giving me some energy. I've had a couple palpitations but nothing horrible. I've got weird back pain, like in the kidney area bilateral sides of my back. It's not constant and usually occurs in the morning. I certainly don't want kidney problems but didn't really see that listed in side effects. Just checking to see if anyone else may have had it and whether you stopped the medication? ## I didn't see anything listed about Phentermine causing any kidney issues, either, typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, anorexia, insomnia, frequent urination, and elevated blood pressure. However, it is always best to consult your doctor to be s...

What are the most common side effects of Dinintel? I also want to know if the drug is indeed as good as they say it is? ## Dinintel contains the active ingredient Clobenzorex, it is a stimulant that is used as a appetite suppressant to aid in weight loss. As to its effectiveness, just like any other drug, there are people that get great results from using it, but there are other people that it doesn't work for. The only way to know if something will help you is to try it and see. It can cause side effects, such as: nausea, insomnia, headache and elevated heart rate and blood pressure. Are there any other questions or comments? ## Yes it is extremely effective for wight loss. Your appetite becomes almost non existent and food cravings disappear. Additionally, it gives you a huge ener...
