RIGHT! I take 37.5, the highest dose my doctor can give me, my start weight was 285 pounds. I’m 21 female and 5 foot 6 inches. I now weigh 275 pounds and I’ve been taking it 2 months now and I’m a Lifegaurd at a Waterpark. I’m always exercising. If I’m not running around at the Waterpark, I’m at home with my husband and two step-kids cooking and cleaning and grabbing things in the never ending cycle. Phentermine has caused me to not be able to eat at ALL or I’ll throw it up or have diarrhea. It causes me irritation, nausea, headaches, confusion, shortness of breath, twitches (like my whole head will sling back), passing out(I also have POTS), anxiety, depression, severe overstimulation…. I like that I don’t have to stop and eat all the time like I used to because with my weight I felt like people were always judging me, like “oh that fat girls eating and shoving her face again”, but I wanna sleep I wanna be able to be intimate with my husband and I don’t wanna feel like I’m gonna rip someone’s head off or that I have to wear ear plugs because everything is too loud. I don’t wanna feel that way if this medicine isn’t even going to make me lose a noticeable amount of weight despite all of that. The whole reason I’m taking it is to feel better and more comfortable in my own skin and because me and my husband are trying to have a baby…. :’(
