"i started this medication august 27th 2010...a few days ago. i normally wouldn&#039;t tell anyone what i weigh, but i&#039;ll tell you all, 263 pounds. i&#039;m 21 i have high cholesterol. i just decided one day that i had enough. so, i made the appointment at my local bariatric clinic. she gave me a combination of phentermine and phendimet, as well as a thyroid pill. the first day taking the medication was weird. cold sweats, nervous but, i did day two and i felt just fine. a little headache, i&#039;m not sure if it was medication that did it, or my lack of caffeine. i stopped drinking dr.pepper. i haven&#039;t taken it that long, only three days. but, i feel good and i am already eating better. i know when i am full. i hope this was helpful to someone."
