How many pounds a week will you loose taking adipex?

Answer 1

I'm not a medical professional, so I can only answer this question relating to my own experience with no recommendation to others.
Having used this drug I have lost approximately 20 pounds in a little more than 2 months. However I must honestly mention that I increased my dose to two capsules a day rather than the prescibed 1 a day. I took one 15 mg cap in the morning for a couple of weeks and then without the advice of a doctor I began to take a second capsule in the late afternoon. I have been swimming and walking and lifting weights a few times a week as well.
Initially this drug made me feel quite uncomfortable, I felt ill, shakey, sick, irritable, horrible actually but I stuck with it and now I feel no side effects at all. The drug also makes me sweat a lot. For the first month my body odour was quite stronger. That has subsided.
And I think think most likely this drug has been causing me sexual side effects as well. My libido is normal but orgasm and ejaculation is abnormal to a degree.
In any case I have been pleased with the results. I haven't had cravings to eat at night anymore. My portions at mealtime are dramatically smaller. I have found that I need to conciously push myself to eat something, rather than in the past trying to conciously stop myself from eating something. I have been avoiding unhealthy food choices.
2 pounds more to lose, and I'm done. I will slowly carefully reduce the medicine.

Answer 2

Long term effective dietary weight lossoccurs as a result of changing your life style. Increases in excercise, reduced calorie intake, reduction in drinking and candies, all are part of it.

Phentermine is an amphetimine analog. It reduces hunger while you're under its influence, but doesn't do anything to change the behavior that maintains you (presumably) at a higher weight than you'd prefer.

Phentermine taken long term also has all the shortcomings of amphetimines, including sleep disorders, potential for cardiac and liver damage, and some psychologcal effects like increases in OCD, "amphetimine psychosis" and other speed-like side effects.

While phentermine is allowed legally by FDA as a weight loss med (for now), its effectiveness in the long term is questioned deeply.

In answer to your question, you can actually lose quite a lot of weight; the problem is keeping it off.

Answer 3

It depends on your current body weight, height, and many other things. It varies person to person. Weight loss pills only help you lose weight temporarily, though, and in some cases, make you even gain some weight. That's why the best way to lose weight and keep it off is a balanced diet and exercise.

Answer 4

at least 4-10 pounds

12-15 lbs
