"i am 38, nearly 39, 5 foot nothing. when i started my weight loss journey i was 179lbs.  i started with just 105 mcg phentermine in january 2013 and had lost 20 lbs when it plateaued in march. that&#039;s when the doc put me on this. it&#039;s been ten days since i began the regimen and i have dropped another 8lbs.  the first 5 days carried awful side effects to be honest, i wasn&#039;t sure i&#039;d be able to continue using it. my nose and mouth tingled, i was edgy, beside myself. couldn&#039;t keep my head straight and i couldn&#039;t sleep. but for the most part, all that has worn off. i do have a bit of trouble getting to sleep but nothing i can&#039;t deal with. i have no appetite at all, in fact i have to put a reminder in my phone to eat."
