"i have always been a thicker girl. in high school i was 5&#039;6 and 150lbs.. i looked great!! people called me tiny on occasions. when i turned 20, i was diagnosed with pcos.. i dont get periods but maybe twice a year. this has made me gain weight like crazy- im now 25 years old. 5&#039;7/250lbs ...i did research about 4 months ago on phentermine as a girlfriend of mine had great success. i figured why not?!? so far everything is great. i&#039;ve been on phen for 3 months as of yesterday- weighing at 218!! no bad side effects for me. first week had a little insomnia, but not bad. dry mouth but i chew gum all the time so i don&#039;t really notice it."
