You and pretty much everyone else who ever lost weight on a diet pill. Oh well, lesson learned I guess.

Phentermine or Tenuate?

Has anyone used phentermine from a doctor to lose weight and did it help? I was recently prescribed some but it doesn't seem to help that much, but my friend lost 40lbs in 2 months on it. Or has anyone tried tenuate and had any success?

Phentermine is not very good for you, just the super high blood pressure effects that it has is enough reason to stay away from it. You can naturally stimulate your heart rate and energize your metabolism by using natural dietary supplements, drink a lot of water and just a little exercise.

By doing it naturally, you train the body in developing a new way of burning fat, that will always be more effect than something that artificially stimulates your heart rate and suppresses hunger. Diethylcathinone, (tenuate) does the same thing as (phentermine) it only can help for a short term. Tenuate is known to yield a high rate of degenerative stokes.

My doctor told me to stay away from both of them, he said the benefits were not worth the risk.

Back in the days I lost 55 lbs with Tenuate. I recommend it. I also have been prescribed Adipex and have lost with it also -- this one though can increase your blood pressure, advance heart palpitations beside lacking sleep.
I've been on diet pills for most part of my adult live and my experience has always been regaining the weight after I have lost it. For best results, try to implement the concept of Weight Watchers...that seams to work the best long term. It has for me.

Tenuate and Phentermine do the same thing. Phentermine real name, brand name is Adipex. Diethylpropion real name, brand names are (Tenuate, Tepanil thin tab or ten tab). They both are appetite suppressant. Diethylpropion is also more well know as the antidepressant Wellbutrin, because bupropion which is the active ingredient in Wellbutrin is derived from Diethylpropion.

So in what they do, they are not any different, they just have different side effects! Go to WebMD or other PDR reference site and you will see that both Tenuate and Phentermine are listed as cross references, because they are effectively the same type of sympathomimetic stimulant drug.

I am currently on phetermine thru my family doc. This is the 5th month ive been on it. I weighed right on the money at 300lbs when I started..today i weighed 247lbs. The reason I went on this medicine is that I found myself at 21 years old 300lbs and with my blood pressure spiking everytime I would have any type of emotional of change. The doctor started me out only at 15mg. After a month he upped the dosage to 37.5mg. I found that the first few days I had drymouth. Not bad...just enough to encourage me to drink my water like I needed to anyway. Well anyway, I found I have had a lot of success with it so far. This is the last month of the meds that Im getting. Doc wants me to do it on my own for a while. I'm totally fine with that. I would love some advice from any other people that have done this. Thanks!

Phentermine didn't help me at all. A friend and I ordered 60 pills and split them. We took them regularly for a couple of weeks, and the only things I noticed were that they increased my heart rate (not my energy level) and gave me nosebleeds.

I just started taking this med on 7/13/07 and its doesn't make me sleepy at all. In fact it gives me more energy then I had before I started taking this med. I am hoping that it helps me to lose weight and once i stop taking them meds i hope to continue to be able to maintain the lose as I am not only taking this med but making lifestyle changes too. I have also started working out 3-5 times a week for 30minutes to a hour a day. I would recommend talking to your doc about it if its making you sleepy as its not suppose to make you sleepy from what my doc told me.

I think Fastin is Great! I used to be 255lbs at my heaviest and went down to 174lb within 9 months. I was also eating very well, seeing a nutritionist and also working out everyday. It gave me the energy I needed and really did curve my food cravings. This was 5 yrs ago I was on it...since then I gained weight do to depressions and life changing events. I'm now at 189lbs but have managed to keep most of the weight off. Now that I'm starting to feel emotionally better after a few long years I'm back to eating better and working out...I don't think I need Fastin at this time. I do have to say though Fastin was very addicting to me. I really felt as if I needed it. But I think the eating healthier and exercise is what really did it for me. Good Luck and be careful on it...make sure you see your Dr. on a regular basis.

Back in the 90's, I took this pill. I weighed 140 and lost 23 pounds. Then one day, I felt dizzy, tired, and terrible. I thought that I was having a heart attack. Many medical tests later, I found out that I didn't damage my heart. Please be careful with this drug. Its not worth the side effects.

Best Wishes,

Carrie

If this is the Fhen/Phen fad of the 90's, I felt like I was having a heart attack on these pills. Its not worth the side effects.

yeah its better to not go down that route, i never had any side affects with the tenuate though only talked non stop, dry mouth and couldn't sleep. but as far as i know tenuate is banned in UK due to the risks, what puzzles me though is you can order it online still surely this is illegal? like wouldn't you get in trouble??
low fat, high fibre and walking works much better!

I am currently taking phentermine and have had no major side effects from it. I have a ton more energy and have lost 7.8 lbs in 2 wks since starting working out and watching what and how much i eat plus taking this med. It is a doc prescribed med although i have heard that you can order it online which i wouldn't recommend. I am being watched very carefully by my doc while on this med. He also says its not something that you can stay on too long so i am only suppose to be on it for 6 months at a time which by the time 6 months is up i hope to have lost all the weight i want to lose and be able to maintain the lose without any help from the meds. I would talk to your doc first before thinking about trying this though, its not recommended for everyone to take
