Very sorry to hear it, however, most weight loss medications do only so much. The rest generally has to be done with regular diet and exercise.

There might be some other medications you can try for a little more of a boost to your weight loss, such as:

or

Have either of you tried consulting your doctor on what your next step should be?

If you're filling your script online, try changing providers. Some medications are severely cut with fillers that could be why its not working for you. Or try and get a script and get directly from another pharmacy would be what I suggest.

My son has been on PHENTERMINE 37.5MG for a little over a year now and since Feb 2011 to Den 2012, he has lost a total of 245 lbs. He eats whatever he wants to eat-frozen Pizza or Pizza Hut or Chicken Strips, potato chips, cookies, etc. He just cuts the amount down from what he was eating. The phentermine keeps him awake from 18-20 hrs at a time however, thus I am sure burning up more calories. He may go a month without losing a single pound then the next month lose 15-17 lbs. The key is to not give up and be conscious of how much you eat. dont think about a diet as such. You have to have food so eat just until you are satisfied. Oh and he switched from diet soft drinks to tap water. That helps amazingly! He still has about 2240 more lbs to lose(yes, he was over 700 lbs when he started) and I know he can do it! You can too!

I started phentermine, dr prescription, and went in 3 months from 217 to 192 lbs , but the pills are not working any more. I am ok during the day but extremely hungry at night, and I eat to my hunger. I am afraid the weight will creep back up. Any suggestions of how to get the pills to work for me again? Thanks

I am having the same issues (not losing). I took this stuff four years ago and went from 180 to 150 and it was amazing. Now it seems that it is NOT working at all. I exercise and eat right so I have no clue what to do or where to go from here.
