Regain and Qsymia

i know I'm late replying to this post... 

but i have to say that i just went to a regular doctor and got prescribed topamax and phentermine separately.. picked them both up from CVS for $3.  I take half a phentermine and 2 topamax a day...  Not sure what kind scam your doctor is trying to pull.  

Anyways... I'm 4 months in and down 30lbs.  This is with me doing cross fit and eating mostly yogurt/veggies/ 3-6oz of chicken a day and nothing else.. and a strict 1600 calorie diet.  Thats the thing, the meds make it hard to eat over that because you lose the urge to eat.    You do get an energy boost at first.  But it doesn't last...    Meaning they ware off after a few weeks. or your body gets used to the effects quick or at least my body has.  I'm at a stand still on my weight loss now..  so even though I'm still on the meds.. i find myself wanting to eat more, but my doctor said that's normal... because these are not meant to be long term.. its meant to show me how I'm suppose to eat.. its meant to show you correct portion size because it allows you eat the correct portion and not want more.
