"i took adipex 2 years ago. i lost 15 pounds then gained it back plus some over this time. now i am trying the phentermine 30 mg. i&#039;m on my 4th day plus i am taking chromium too. i have lost 5 pounds. the doctor told me to take 2 a day. i was skeptical. don&#039;t really like taking 2 so i&#039;m going to cut back to one a day. have to make myself eat. i have cut out caffeine and sweets. i am not a healthy eater so my main goal is portion control and not eating late at night which is a habit. i don&#039;t really like the side effects but when i took adipex i was fine after the first week so i hope this is the same."
