"my experience was successful!  i started the pill on 03-26-14 at which time i was 287 lbs, by 04-30-14, i dropped down to 276 lbs. i must say it really suppresses the appetite and i recommend that you eat at least breakfast daily to avoid getting headaches and feeling nausea.  altough, i did have those side effects, i do recommend eating something again as stated preferably breakfast. the last time i weighed myself i wore 266, however,  because i am no longer eating healthy and taking the pill when i remember to take one i notice i have gained some of the weight back as my pcp indicated i would. all in all phentermine is great if you are going to adjust to permenant lifestyle changes / eating behaviors."
