Phentermine

My insurance did not cover it, surprise.  It cost me $85.00 for 60 capsules.  I am to take 1-2 a day.  If one does not curb my appetite enough I am to take two in the morning instead.  I hope this helps.

Yea my insurance stopped covering it. It costs me 38bux for 30.

But whoa wait a minute....I am kinda thrown off. So what kind of Phentermine do you have? Capsules that you cannot crush? Or tablets? What mg are they. Because I know you're not supposed to take 2 in one day thats insane! Unless they are the 15mg than I can understand.

I have the time release capsules so they release thru out the entire day and curb my appetite like no other...seriously I can NEVER decide on what to eat because nothing ever sounds good so basically I end up eating nothing or a south beach protein bar...eh.

I take the capsules that are 15mg per capsule.  I also have the time release capsules as well.  The doctor has me on these as well as the atkins diet.  I guess I will have to see how this works out.  I am also the same way when it comes to eating.  I cannot make up my mind because nothing sounds good.

Oh ok that makes sense then, if they are only 15mg and taking 2 obviously equals up to what I am taking.

Atkins...you are gonna be a loosing fool!!! lol. Good luck and watch the weight melt off :) You will be so happy.

Hopefully the pounds will melt off, I sure would like my ankle joints to stop aching.  Also, where did you come up with the name cosmo*****

A guy that sometimes comes on here name Chris came up with the name. Because I do hair and I always have make up on. I call it being a make up ***** So he put it all together lol.

Thanks, I was just curious.  You look like you are almost at your goal.  Good luck with maintaining it. 

Oh I just set mini goals. Makes it easier for me. My goal is 155. So I still have a ways to go lol. But thanks! :)

I have taken Phentermine and my experience has been that it works but is only a quick fix. i was able to drop 30 pounds in a month with the medication but the side effects can be rough. The medicine makes your heart palpitate faster, it gave me the shakes, and I had trouble sleeping at night, oh and I forgot about the mood swings. It was worth suffering through once upon a time, but when you gain the weight back once off the medication, you will gain more than where you originally left off. I used this medication for over a ten year period off and on before I realized that it was time to take some other form of intervention. If it is needed for a quick drop to prepare for surgery it may be worth it but it does not provide good or healthy long term results based on my own experience and opinion. 72 pounds is great!

Thanks for your input.  I have not had the shakes yet or the mood swings.  I take 30mgs in the morning.  However, it seems to wear off late in the afternoon.  I don't know if I should take 2 in the morning and then take 1 around lunch time or what.  I have lost around ten pounds since being on them though I cannot see the difference yet.
