r/Phentermine_

Hello! I started phentermine last week and feel like I am kind of sleeping, kind of not. I feel like i never really “fall” asleep, but i am not noticeably awake. Right now i am only taking half of my 37.5 mg prescription so im kind of afraid to up it.

What are we doing to help sleep? I take melatonin, L-theanine and magnesium already. I also smoke weed in the evenings. Any advice?

Weirdly though, i am yawning throughout the day, just when it actually comes to sleeping my brain races.

ALSO headaches? I get reoccurring headaches and migraines as it is. I’ve had a headache for 3 days in a row.. any tips?

Hi!

I'm on 250 mg sertraline (have been for a while) and 150 mg topiramate (75 mg x2 day) and about to start the lowest dose of phentermine (I believe 8 mg, I could be wrong)...

I know my sertraline/zoloft dose is pretty high - regardless, does anyone have any experience in with the combination of medication and phentermine? Good or bad?

I'm just a little nervous. I want to take it and have been assured that it's extremely rare that anything bad will happen.

I'm just still nervous, because, life.

Thank you in advance!

I started phentermine 15mg on 2/25/26 I started at 183, I am now 162-164 it fluctuates every few days. After the first month and a half I switched to 30mg. I am at a stand still though. For the last month I haven’t lost any weight, it was coming off so fast at first like 3-4 pounds a week mostly. My working out has slowed down but I am still in a calories deficit every day. What else can I do to lost more, I need to get down to at least 150

I know I need to be patient lol

But literally nothing has worked for me before so I really want this to.

But, I lost 5 pounds during my first 6 days on 37.5 mg and then I woke up today, on the 7th day and I gained back 2 lbs. is 3 lbs lost in a week normal for this med? Or should I be worried my body has gotten used to it already?

So I realize it has only been a little less than a week, but I thought this medication started working immediately.

No appetite suppression !

I was on 15mg, now taking 30mg past couple days..still nothing

Could it start working all of a sudden or am I a non responder ?

Looking to hear experiences
What time are you taking it?
Starting weight?
Starting bp?
How has that shifted?
Activity?
Diet?
