"i&#039;ve struggled with weight for years and finally at my last app my doctor started me on phentermine my starting weight was 220 ,  three days later i was 214  i have been on it a week and haven&#039;t lost any more weight but i started watching what i ate more closely and started working out in treadmill hoping for more weight loss! haven&#039;t really had any bad side affects , dry mouth is all i&#039;ve had but i drink a lot more water and i cut out all caffeine and sugar i love the energy it gives me!"
