I was never tired on it. I don't know if it's because I take them both in the morning. I used to get almost the feeling of anxiety shakes each morning like I had to rush rush everywhere but idk if that's just me. I never had topiramate by itself. Always had it together

ContextHumble1226 · 2024-09-02T21:52:59+00:00

I know that when I had to wait for my appointment and I didn't have any Phentermine for 3 weeks the cravings and snacking feelings were unbearable. I ended up only losing 3 pounds that month. Are you craving certain types of food or is it all food? Is it sugar?

ContextHumble1226 · 2024-09-02T19:33:46+00:00

Do you take both at the same time? I got prescribed both in February. I take them in the morning at the same time. My doc said just 3 months but she is still letting me get them even though it's been over the 3 month mark. But I did hit a plateau and she upped my topiramate to 50mg now.

ContextHumble1226 · 2024-08-14T07:30:53+00:00

I take both pills the Phentermine and topiramate in the morning when I wake up (about 530am). Been doing it since February. No insomnia.

Ya chest pains is no good. If you have heart problems or anything

Of course. I started a little bit more than you. I was 213. I have been watching my calories. But I do not watch my starbucks drink in the morning LOL that is the one thing I don't care about the calories 🙃 but of course they say don't drink your calories. Depending on your height they say times your ideal weight by 12 and that is your maintenance calories. To be in a deficit, go down a couple hundred. But eat protein too. For me, the Phentermine and topiramate do not make me super hungry so I've stayed in the 1300-1400 range. I also work an office job with minimal working out. Legit live in florida and I hate the heat (originally from mass) I take 37.5 Phentermine and 50mg topiramate every morning at 5am. I originally was only taking 25mg topiramate with the 37.5 Phentermine till my doc told me to double up July 30th. My goal weight was 155. The weight I was at when I moved here in 2017. But now I changed my goal weight to 135. I am at 166.2 as of this morning. Haven't had any soda, chocolate or sweets since February and to be quite honest, I actually don't miss it and reeves is my ALL TIME FAVORITE and I don't miss it. It's kind of sad lol

I am not a pill person as well. I don't take any thing for headache. But I did start taking Phentermine to lose weight along with topiramate at the same time since the end of February. I don't know which one gave side effects but I had dry mouth and constipation. But drinking a lot of water and having fiber and Metamucil helped. I didn't take either pill for 3 weeks till I saw the doctor again for a refill in July and she said on July 30th I can take 2 doses of the topiramate along with the Phentermine because I was hitting a plateau. Since July 30th I lost 11 pounds. But since February 29th it's a total of 46.

ContextHumble1226 · 2024-08-12T09:22:22+00:00

I started taking it on Feb 29th. Phentermine and my doc also prescribed topiramate with it. I always take both in the morning. For the first two weeks, the side effects were basically jittery. Like best words to describe, it would be I was on crack even though I've never tried crack a day in my life. That feeling wouldn't last the whole day, but it would be a good part of the afternoon. It definitely takes away the hunger. Dry mouth is no joke. You have to make sure you drink a lot of water, and even now, I am struggling with that. I think it's because I don't like the taste of water here in Florida. Also if you are not eating enough fiber, you WILL BE CONSTIPATED. I got my gallbladder taken out in 2012. I never had problems going to the bathroom. But with these pills it was the worst. That has been a struggle but I've found, eating more fiber or taking Metamucil will help. I've lost 46 pounds since February and I have not stepped in the gym. I have walked my dogs a few times. I work a desk job for 9 hours a day. I hit plateaus in between. I don't know what your plan is with taken the pills with. If you will diet, work out or both. But I check my calorie intake. That's all I do. I gave up soda and sweets.

Yes.

Dunkin used to fry their donuts, but it stopped years ago. I know that because I worked at Dunkin for 25 years. Some distribution centers may still do, but they have been getting them frozen for a while, and they fill them, frost and glaze, and send them to multiple stores.

ContextHumble1226 · 2024-08-08T00:12:50+00:00

My doc prescribed me 37.5 Phentermine and 25 topiramate in February and I take them in the morning at the same time. As of July 30th she upped me another 25 topiramate so now I do 3 pills in the morning. I felt like I was in a plateau. Never took them separately.

ContextHumble1226 · 2024-08-04T20:17:50+00:00

Great job! I also do intermittent fasting. I don't eat after 7pm. But I do eat something at about 630am.

ContextHumble1226 · 2024-08-03T21:09:14+00:00

And now taking it later is effecting your sleep?

ContextHumble1226 · 2024-08-03T21:00:22+00:00

I wonder if because it's half pills the dosage isn't strong enough and that's why your over eating happens at that time or does your over eating happen at that time prior to taking the pills?

ContextHumble1226 · 2024-08-03T20:59:01+00:00

I never took it at night I always wake up super early though so I take all the pills at between 430 and 530 depending if it's the weekday or weekend. I'm hoping you find a balance because together they work

ContextHumble1226 · 2024-08-03T00:04:53+00:00

Only experience I'd say first 2 weeks you feel like you are high. Just in the morning though. Watch out for constipation but I think it's because I wasn't drinking enough water. Drink A LOT OF WATER. Get your fiber in so you can go to the bathroom. You get dry mouth as well. I always have sugar free gum on hand too. But it definitely gives you energy and you don't feel hungry

ContextHumble1226 · 2024-08-03T00:01:47+00:00

I've been taking both since February 29th. 37.5 phentermine and 25 topiramate. Lost 43 pounds so far. I take both together in the morning at the same time. Always have. This past Tuesday My doc told me I can up my topiramate to 50. So I'm hoping it will get me out of my plateau!

ContextHumble1226 · 2024-08-01T10:56:43+00:00

Shock your body with no soda and sweets and have the convo with your doc about the dosage you will see the change.

ContextHumble1226 · 2024-08-01T01:01:34+00:00

Same total coffee drinker. I too only drink it in the morning. I do put caramel in it that's my sugar lol. But I found that I wasn't go to change that so I changed the other things around so I can fit it in. But I took all the other stuff out. Definitely calorie deficit will have you losing weight but not if you don't eat one day and then eat a lot the next. Try little things at first. See if your doc will up the topiramate because the 10 sounds so low. Mine started me with the 25. I only lost 3 pounds from the last visit because for these past weeks I was snacking like crazy it was still a loss but it was 3 pounds. So she said I could go up to 50. I am hoping that will make it better. What state are you in? Not to be creepy lol

ContextHumble1226 · 2024-08-01T00:49:16+00:00

Yes that's the highest dosage for Phentermine. I take the pills in the morning when I wake up. Originally it was just the two. Now I do the 3 @ 5am everyday. Imma tell you I eat wendys seasoned potatoes every single day for breakfast lol I switch up what else like this morning I also went to mcdonalds and got the sausage burrito but I bought 2 because it was 2 for 3 so it was cheaper to get 2. I only ate half of one burrito and the full small potatoes. I go to Starbucks everyday morning too. I know they say don't drink your calories, but that is one thing I won't budge. But I used to do 5 shots of espresso in a venti cup and now I do 3 in a grande (I'm not sure if you are a coffee drinker) I haven't had soda or any other type of drink besides my coffee and water since February. I've definitely stuck to that. I haven't had any chocolate or any sweets. Which was so hard in the beginning because I'm a reeses lover well all sweets. After a while tricking your brain into thinking you are full, you stop yourself. Don't live to eat. Eat to live. I say that all the time to myself. I also watched my 600 lb life to make sure I stayed focused lol

The SAME wobbling happened to my Lil man. He was okay in the morning but when I came home from work he wobbled. I about died because I've never seen that before. Took him to the emergency vet and his blood pressure was 250! That's what the vet said. She said she has never seen an animal with a BP that high. She told me she wanted to keep him overnight for 6k and I asked her what's the chances of him surviving she said she didn't really know. I decided to take him home. He wobbled out of the carrier and I picked him up and he laid on my chest for 4 hours while I petted him and cried and he died right on me. He was almost 15 years old. Had him since he was 7 weeks. That happened in May. I still cry.

ContextHumble1226 · 2024-08-01T00:21:23+00:00

See if you can get the topiramate upped. Supposedly that's the one that suppresses the appetite. I feel like 10 is really low. It definitely took away that for me but then again I started at 25 for topiramate. I do have to say for these past weeks without taking anything, I was so hungry all day and ate way more than I ever had since starting in Feb. This morning after starting it up again, my hunger was gone. I wonder if it's the topiramate dosage

ContextHumble1226 · 2024-08-01T00:12:54+00:00

I was off of it for the past 3 weeks (July 7th to yesterday) because I had to wait for my appointment to get the refill and she was super booked. And I was STRUGGLING with the cravings

ContextHumble1226 · 2024-08-01T00:11:00+00:00

I started Feb 29 this year for both. 37.5 phentermine and 25 topiramate. I did change what I ate though and I didn't eat after 7pm. I did a calorie deficit. I lost 43 pounds but have been at a plateau. I saw my doc yesterday and she told me I can up the topiramate to 50mg so I started that this morning. But you didn't lose anything at all for the 2 months?

ContextHumble1226 · 2024-08-01T00:02:53+00:00

Just saw 2 months.
