"i am a 22 year old  mom of 2. i have an almost 2 year old and 2 month old so i never got the chance to lose my baby weight with my first before i got pregnant with my second. i started phentermine on september 3rd at 193 lbs. today is september 16th (1 week 6 days after starting) and i am at 176! 17 pounds gone in just 13 days! 
no major side effects. i was dizzy the first day about an hour after taking it. since then, no dizziness. didn&#039;t cause headaches, insomnia, appetite suppression, or mood swings like people have said. the only thing that did happen was i get extreme dry mouth. and then i lick my lips to help so now i have chapped lips too lol. drinking water really helps!"
