"started phentermine 37.5mg about 10 days ago. weight 199lb and 5&rsquo;8. md suggested due to health problems and impaired mobility. week one i lost 5 lbs and only took the pill 2 days, skip a day, one pill, and skip a day again.
i could barely eat bites of food... that&rsquo;s why i staggered the dose. i was only extremely thirsty and felt  &ldquo;off&rdquo; so i&rsquo;d force myself to eat fruit, or something small. 
i really want the weight off but i know diet and exercise are a must... no magic pill....just short term booster.
i do exercise 3 x week light low impact. i plan to work hard with healthy eating, exercise, and this pill as needed.
i&rsquo;m thankful for the assistance, but realistically learning to have healthy habits is key❤️"
