"started phentermine -37.5mg - on 6/25/12. today is 8/2/12 and i have lost 19 pounds! for the first 10 days i just took half a pill a day to wean myself on it due to anxiety and i felt pretty jittery. the side effects did disappear completely after about 2 weeks and is has been so worth it. my main problem was that i was a major soda drinker and ate fast food a lot. with this pill, i have been able to completely stop drinking soda and now only drink water. i do still get hungry at times but my interest in food has changed so drastically it is easy to eat healthy. it really changed the way that i look at food and has enabled me to make the changes that i needed to live a healthier lifestyle. but you do have to change the way you eat!!"
