Should A Phentermine Be Taken With Or Without Food

Updated

I'm a female who weighed as much as 300 lbs, I have about 70 more pounds to lose. Getting it off is a fight! Can anyone tell me if Phentermine should be taken with or without food. Paying attention to details helps the drug you take, help you.
Thanks for any help you can offer.w

As you know some drugs want all the attention and some want to do their work in the dark I'm trying to get rid of 70 pounds of unloved unwanted fat! I'm stuck From nearly 3oo lbs im stuck at 190. I've been stuck here for a month now. Most of my people say be calm it takes time for your body to get ready to say *goodbye* to the last bastions of fat! I want to lose it now!
I'd love to wear cute swim sets and not cover up all the ugly places. I'd love to have to tan my midriff. and my back.
I know I'll never get over the damage all that weight caused. But I'd like to try.

Phentermine is a stimulant that is used as an appetite suppressant.

For it to work best, it is usually advised that you take it about a half an hour or more, before meals on an empty stomach.

It may cause side effects, such as: nausea, headache, dizziness and anorexia.

You can try acupuncture - it definitely takes off extra weight. You can see results even after 10 sessions.

Hi Tony,

Instead of complaining about the previous poster listing a side effect excerpt from a drug information sheet, why not send your complaint to the developers of the drug who were in charge of human safety trials. Better yet, complain to the USDA, who required that drugs be tested, with side effects information transparent and accessible for anyone who cares to do a google search.

Anorexia is a disease in itself. It also shows up in numerous medication side effect lists, and generally means "loss of appetite" in medical terms.

Taking Adipex as labeled, as prescribed, will indeed cause anorexia. That is kind of the point, you know? If it does not cause loss of appetite, prescribes normally discontinue treatment.

Good Luck!

My doctor suggests that Adipex be taken with your first meal of the day. I have a protein meal when I first wake up and I take my Adipex then. Are you on a nuturitional weight loss plan? Maybe you should give {edited for spam} a try I'm pretty sure he can help you reach your weight loss goals!

I was advised to take Adipex first thing in the morning. I usually take Adipex with my first protein meal. {edited for spam} can help you with the correct information. He has been instrumental in helping me lose weight. The Adipex does make a difference!

Hi. I started taking Phentermine 37.5 mg once a day on 3/8/13. I have had many of the common side effects such as dry mouth, headaches& impaired thinking. I have been to the point where I felt I was having a nervous breakdown as well. I have also noticed blood/clots in my stools for the past week. Does or has anyone else experienced this abnormal side effect??? Should I stop taking it??

Mandy, blood clots in your stools is definitely something you should have reported to your doctor immediately. Perhaps they should've given you a lower dosage... did you ever find out what happened? I'd like to know because I'm getting ready to go on it.

take 1/2 a pill late morning or 30 min before your lunch. A whole pill can be too much. I do much better with half pill and don't usually have a huge appetite in the morning anyways.

Anorexia is not a disease. It's lack of appetite. Anorexia Nervosa is the disease.

YES!!! I had the same side effects and thought I was going crazy!! I stopped after only one week, and only because I felt depressed and tingling feeling on my arms/hands. I want to continue taking them because in one week I lost 4 lbs.

Actually anorexia is a medical term for "loss of appetite". Many drugs have anorexia as a side effect. Yes Anorexia Nervosa is a disease. The 2 are not the same.

The original poster asked a simple question, that is why I was here to find out, "taken with or before or after food"
