Adipex-P
The active ingredient in the prescription diet pill Phentermine.
Adipex Phentermine (Adipex P) diet pill is a prescription diet pill that is used to help people lose weight who are obese (have a Body Mass Index of 30 or higher) or have serious health risks due to their size. It is more commonly known by the brand name Phentermine. It works as an appetite suppressant. It is taken in conjunction with certain food requirements and an exercise program. Adipex P is only used for a few weeks (less than 12 weeks) since its effectiveness decreases with prolonged use.
The drug is taken one time each day either in the morning or 10 hours before bedtime, because of its known effects of interrupting sleep.
You should take Adipex P only and exactly how it was directed to you by your physician.
- Prescription Phentermine has been approved by the FDA
- Clinically shown to aid in weight loss in obese individuals
- Long-term use can cause irritability, skin problems or sleeping difficulties
- Can become addictive
- Various and numerous side effects are associated with Adipex
- Be sure to read the lengthy disclaimer regarding health conditions that do not support taking Adipex P, such as high blood pressure, anxiety or heart disease
- Side effects include raising blood pressure and heart rate
While taking Adipex P, you are to follow a sound diet of balanced meals and snacks. You are also to avoid alcohol while you are taking this drug. The drug is most effective when it is accompanied by a healthy, balanced diet and regular exercise regimen.
It is recommended to follow a regular exercise routine when taking Adipex P. Be sure to discuss with your physician first and get his or her approval. Given the stimulating effects of Adipex P and its effect of raising heart rate and elevating blood pressure, following an exercise plan that has been suggested by your doctor is highly recommended.
Adipex P is a prescription weight loss drug that may help in weight loss, but it also comes with a host of side effects and risks. Since it can only be used for a small amount of time, the individual is then responsible for learning how to eat sensibly once the prescribed amount of time for taking the drug is complete. Given its side effects, its drug interactions and its risk for addiction, Adipex P must be taken under the guidance and observation of a medical doctor.

Well let me start out by saying that I started my weight loss journey back in Nov of 2009. I had made up my mind that I was done living at the weight of 411lbs. Since then I have lost 73lbs. (now 338) with diet and exercise. However, now it is April 2011 and it seems that my weight is at a standstill. After talking with my doctor she thought that Adipex would help me to loss more weight. It is April 29, 2011 and I took my first pill this morning. I have felt a little jiggery and I was able to walk on the treadmill for 40mins. (1mile). I have a lot more weight to loss and I hope that Adipex will help.

WoW. this pill sucks. my gf was on it N it reminded me of a Methhead. The side effects are sick. She had hangovers N bottom out. The pill confuses our body by giving it an overload of caffine for energy. Its true you dont sleep, you cant sit still. Plz if you can avoid this drug you should. Not reccomend'd for anyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well here is an update on my progress of losing weight with Adipex-P. I am working the Adipex-P with a 15 day free trail from diet power & it has help me to see my calorie intake & how much calories that I have burn for each day. I have lost about 6.6 pounds ever since I had went on Adipex -P along with the Diet Power & the results are going alittle better than last time that I had made a comment on. So If anyone try the Adipex-P along with Diet power free trail & you also will see where you stand on your calories. You log in your foods of how much you ate in oz or cups then log in your excersise of how much you have done you can keep up with your calorie burn & your calories that you can eat per day so give it a try you will end up buying it after you had used up your 15 day trail. I will update in about a week from today to let yall know how much weight that I have lost with the Adipex-P & the Diet power program. I can actually see where my calories are at & set my goal to what I want to lose by a certain date the diet power gives you a calorie diet that helps you out into losing weight. You just got to go by the calories that it sets you up with & you can lose quiet easy. So try it & let me know how it works.....

Well to start off I was 309LBS. & had gotten a gastric Bypass ( Roux-y-en Bypass) & I had lost 124 LBS with that. Well recently I had notice back in 2008 my weight was going up & down alot from 185LBS to 195 LBS. Today It has stay'd at 208LBS. The reason I had stopped losing weight from the bypass surgery is because I found a way to get around it by eatting every hour or 1 1/2 hour meaning I was Grzing all day long. Well I had asked my reg. Doctor about something to help me with my appetite. He perscrbed Adipex-P 37.5 mg to take once a day. Well I had started it last friday 11-5-2010. & on monday 11-8-2010 I had lost 5 LBs. Ok here is the problem Yesterday on 11-9-2010 I forgot to take my adipex-p before i had ate & then took it 30 minutes after. Well I am sorry to say it did not work at all with the no appetite because I notice I ate like I was not even on it. So I have learn if you eat before you take it, it does not work!!!! But the bad side effects are jitteriness & hard to even go to sleep at nights. So I am trying to give it a chance to work but I need to know how can you get it to work & not dye down after a few days? I am despert to lose weight & not get back up to who I use to be 309LBS because I was disable when I was at that weight. So Please someone anyone knows how to get this medication work without taking extra to help push it's effects??

First of all let me explain myself . Well I had gotten the gastic bypass the roux-y-en surgery back in 1998 12 yrs ago & the surgery had worked. I was at 309lbs & I had lost 124 pounds with that surgery. Well I had notice that I was gaining weight back ( up & down) about 2 yrs ago. I went from 185 pounds to now at 208 pounds. I spoke with my reg doctor about it & he perscribed me with Adipex-p 37.5 mg. Well I started it friday Nov 5 2010 & I went from 208Lbs to 199 LBs. It had worked ok but yesterday nov 9 2010 I had taken my adipex -p med & took a nap. When I had gotten up I notice that the Adipex-p was not working & I ate like I was not even on it. Some says that the Adipex-p works only a few weeks but as I had seen it only for a couple of days. The side effects was jitteriness & sleep was hard to do. I did not see any boost in my energy. All I wanted to do is sit all day & not move as much. I promised myself I would walk everyday but seem not to keep that promise. All I wanted to do is not even leave the house. But today I took the med & so far its working only if I keep drinking coffee or water to stop the dry mouth. But how can I get the Adipex-P to work good for me without taking more of it? Because I am despert & dont want to even look at my weight of 309LBs anymore !!! So is there any advice of how to keep the adipex-p to still work for me & to lose the weight that I want because my goal is to get down to 145LBS before the summer. They need to have a good weight plan to help out with this medication & make it more effectivly. I want it to work !!! I am willing to try any advice at this point.

I have been using adipex for three days now and so far I have lost 3lbs. Currently my weight is 209lbs but I would like to weigh 155lbs which is healthy for my height(5'8"). I take one pill in the morning and then I eat a sensible breakfast. I usually don't have an appetite for the rest of the day but I force myself to eat fruits and vegetables. I also drink alot of water to stay hydrated. The only side effect I have had is dry mouth. I definitely would recommend this product. It gives me alot of energy, so much so that I look forward to exercising.

I started taking the pills 09/28/10. My beginning weight was 210 lbs and I'm only 5'0. When I went back for my 1st month check up I was shocked to see that I had lost 14 lbs. I started off with taking 1/2 pill for the 1st two days and then onto 1 pill. I also received a shot (B-12) for energy. I along with 4 sisters went to Disney on my 2nd day and I couldn't believe how much energy that I had. I was out running them. We visited 4 parks in one day and I had totally forgotten to eat. I would get to feeling a litle different and that is when I realized that I hadn't eaten. My docter recommended me to eat a Special K bar 1st thing in the moring (around 5:30 since I get up so early) and then around 8:00 I would take my pill. He sd to eat a salad or soup and/or sandwich. For dinner only eat fish, beef or chicken. Eat lots of fruit & vegetables. He said to avoid pasta, rice, mayonnaise, potatoes. Drink plenty of water. He highly recommended me to throw all of my snacks away. He gave me several recipes to try such a salad dressing & smoothies. So far I am excited. He gave my the goals to shoot for and he also wants me to start Zumba (an exercise class) Of course there was more info given. I was also advised that after so long they may have to go up to 1 1/2 pills if and when my body gets to a stopping pt when no progress is being made. I can't wait to see the end results.

I have been taking adipex for almost 4 months. I have been doing great. The first month lost 17 pds. The second month lost 11 pds. The third month lost 18 pds. NOW.. Going into the third week of the fourth month I have only lost 2 pds. Can you become resistant to the pills or what. I so want to get back to the weight lost the first 3 months.
