Common Questions and Answers about B12 and phentermine for weight loss

phentermine

Avatar f tn d never recommend phentermine, even though it does work for weight loss. The problem is that when people stop taking it, they almost always gain back everything they lost, plus some.
Avatar f tn d say your weight loss is due more to your diet/exercise change than to the B12/phentermine....... as I said before, I take weekly B12 shots and they do nothing for weight loss. The phentermine may help control your cravings/food intake, but how long can you take that, and what will happen when you stop it?
494656 tn?1209640771 I know that if I could just lose this weight it would take alot of pressure off of me. Please someone help me to find a weight dr. who offers phentermine and B12 shots. Thank you so very much.
995335 tn?1251479506 I've never taken phentermine, myself, but my daughter's boyfriend takes it. He's lost some weight, but hasn't changed eating habits much, so I'm sure he will regain all the weight as soon as he stops the med. No matter what drug you take, you will have to incorporate diet changes and exercise or the whole thing will be a waste of time..... I do know that it can cause your heart rate to do "funky" things.........
Avatar m tn Weight loss drugs often do not work, long term. Vitamin B12 does nothing for weight loss; except maybe give you more energy to exercise.
Avatar n tn I reside in the Atlanta GA area, and I have read a lot of forums pertaining to b12 injections, and phentermine for weight lost. From my understanding they're not something you can get your regular doctor to prescribe. In the past year I've had a baby gain 75pds, and I have not been able to lose it since. I am looking for a Dr. in the Atlanta area that I can get a prescription from. Please help?
Avatar f tn I've had the same reactions to the phentermine..ive been taking mine since june 25th, and the day i started taking it, i got on the treadill at home and did some interval training for 30 min and the next morning i had lost 4 pounds (i used to do the lipo b shots too, but wasnt at that time) and the first week n a half, i wouldnt eat a thing unless i reminded myself to eat. it was like the part of my body that creates those hunger pains had just dissappeared?!?!
Avatar m tn Hi, Drugs for weight loss cannot be taken for an unlimited period of time and need to be taken under medical supervision. Depending on your hormonal levels, the metforim should help with the PCOS. Weight loss can be achieved by a combination of dietary control and exercise. Hope this helps.
Avatar f tn I asked my doctor to prescribe me something for weight loss. I’m 50 years old and just started menopause about a year ago. I’m 5’-6” and weighed about 154. Before my menopause started I weighed about 128. I exercise 6 days a week, I actually enjoy it. My diet was pretty unhealthy so since I’ve been on the phentermine I have watched my diet carefully, changed to very healthy items and count my calories. Initially my doctor had me on 15 mg once a day. I kissed 3 pounds right away, then it stopped.
2092846 tn?1332978512 Phentermine is associated with modest weight loss in some people, but not in everyone. And as with all weight loss medications, once a person discontinues the medication, the weight tends to come back.
Avatar n tn m curious why more studies have not been conducted to study the correlation between phentermine and acne? Acne is not listed as a possible side effect of phentermine, but phentermine is considered a methamphetamine; methamphetamines are known to causes acne. I am a biology teacher and am frustrated that medical professionals are not confirming the overwhelming reports of acne being associated with phentermine. Is it a conspiracy????
Avatar m tn You make a great point that weight loss medication like phentermine is not a long term weight loss solution. If you do go back to old habits, you might expect to gain back the weight that you lost. But the good news is that you're in a good starting place and you are still motivated to keep it going. Good luck! Dr. B www.theflexdiet.
Avatar f tn I am guessing that you see two different doctors. One for weight loss and one for your ADHD/anxiety. I say this because Basically phentermine is a stimulant (works like adderall), but works differently then adderall. I am not sure you should be taking it with adderall. "Phentermine use is containdicated in those who are: Taking amphetamine (i.e. Adderall, Dexedrine, Vyvanse), in the last 14 days" This quote is from - http://en.wikipedia.
Avatar f tn In what doses? Daily for each? For how long and how much has she lost? Are there health risks?
473503 tn?1225489964 Phentermine is "speed" and should only be taken as prescribed and for short durations.
1401296 tn?1280799533 i started taking phentermine in april of this year and lost 40lbs so far. i just started the b12 shot last month. i haven't had any side affects so far. the only difference that i have seen since i started is that the phentermine took away my craving for sweets and now its back. i don't know anything about lipo b.
737114 tn?1232035410 I have been taking phentermine on and off for almost 15 years, I have never needed it for weight loss only the amazing energy it gave me, I know it is a little late to decide they probably are doing my health no good at all but hey, better late than never. I have tried hundreds of times to stop taking them but the chronic fatigue I get keeps me going back.
Avatar m tn Hello I just wanted to let you know what worked for me. I lost 75 lbs with the Phentermine and b12 diet program along with healthy eating and excersize it is a really good program. In order to get on the program you have to talk to your doctor he/she may offer it if not get a list of doctors from your health insurance and start calling to see if any of them offer it. Good Luck .
Avatar f tn 4 weeks later I went to my PCP for my physical and I had lost 25 pounds and all my bad cholesterol and tris were back in normal range. However my liver profile came back high: GGT 62 ALT 90 AST 58 Alkalaline Phosphate normal. She had me re-test in 6 weeks. Now I am down 43 pounds and feel great, however my recent liver profile came back even higher: GGT 208 ALT 92 AST 44 Alkaline Phosphate still normal. I do not drink.
Avatar f tn I was having much difficulty losing weight so I went to a Weight Loss Clinic, where they perscribed phentermine, hydrochlorthiazide and a fiber pill with calcium. I was wondering how dangerous this is and if I could/should stop my antidressant/anxiety medications abruptly or ween myself of them while I am on the weight loss pills.
Avatar n tn Are you having trouble losing weight on the Phentermine alone? I am on this too 15 mg twice a day. It isn't a complete stop appetite pill. I started out taking it once a day in the morning. Then later twice per day. I helps me to control how much I eat. I started in January and now I'm 37 pounds down. But before I started to take this medicine I got away from red meats, sweets, white bread. Basically carbs all around. That got me into a good eating habit.
Avatar f tn I am currently taking phentermine and chromium to help with craving carbs and to stop hunger. They really do help. Maybe talk to your doc to see if that might help.
Avatar n tn I am taking citalopram, wellbutrin and phentermine My weight is going up and I am sweating all the time. is it because of this combo of meds? What can I take for weight loss?.
Avatar f tn I just am at a loss. She renewed my RX for phentermine... the last one supposedly as it can only be given for 3 months. Some people said tonight I looked like I had lost but the clothes and the scale do not say the same. thanks again for all of the time and support!
Avatar m tn My daughter and son-in-law were both on phentermine for a few months. Neither of them lost huge amounts of weight and when they went off the pills, they gained back everything they lost, plus some. Both are grossly overweight. A good weight loss program has to include diet and exercise or no amount of pills are going to work/have a lasting effect.
