Phentermine Forums

Recently, my doctor gave me Phentermine capsules. Before, I only took half the tablet sometimes due to taking it late in the day. Can I open the capsule and only take half the powder inside?

Just wonder what type of medication this was? ## Now I don't know what Acxion is but I do know that Fentermina is the same as Phentermine, a diet pill which reduces the appetite. Maybe Acxion is something along the same lines? Good Luck! ## I WAS TAKING ACXION (FENTERMINA FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS AND LOST 59 LBS IN JUST 4 MONTHS. YUP I SURE DIID FROM A SIZE 12 TO A SIZE 2. I FEEL GREAT AND I AM SO ENERGETIC. I AM ALWAYS ON THE GO GO GO. I AM NO LONGER TAKING THE PILLS, BUT I WOULD BUY THEM ACROSS THE BORDER, JUST 28.00 FOR THE BOX OF 30 PILLS, 1 PILL A DAY. GOOD-LUCK..... ## Is this diet pill for women only ? Acxion Fentermina ## How can i get the acxion pills? ## In the US, this type of med is prescription only, so you would need to see your doctor to get it. ## I also use Acxion and get...

I just started taking this medicine for weight loss. I am having hot flashes and cold chills, terrible headache and a tingly head. I feel awful. Has anybody taken this and had the same reaction? If so did it pass after a few days? Gotta say this...I am not ever hungry! Like to hear from anyone that has taken this med. Thanks :) ## hi jen! I have also been taking phentermine for about 2 months now, and yes, the medicine can be great, but the side effects aren't always pretty. when i first started taking them, i had a headache, was super thirsty, and felt like i could crawl out of my skin! I now only get an occasional headache and still deal with the insomnia. what dosage are you on? maybe you should start small, say 18 mg and then move on to 30 when that doesn't work anymore, the...

What are the side effects of phentermine? ## Side effects are dry mouth, restlessness, anxiety, all in all not to bad considering the weight loss and increased energy - but watch for mood swings ## My friend said it was crazy on her heart. Ricci, did you notice your heart beat was affected at all? ## does anyone know the scale to indicate the recommended dose? ## I just started taking Phentermine yesterday and I have been notified of the possible side effects and am watchful. The funny thing is I am just the opposite...I am tired and no energy. Does it take a while to build in your system. I felt more energetic before I started taking it.

What is this black capsule imprinted with PWC encircled? ## I can't find a listing for this in any of our resources. I suspect it is a medication that is not available in the U.S., because PWC is a pharmaceutical company from Singapore. What country was it found in? ## Did you find out the name of the black pill with tl on it? ## I have been going to a diet Dr. he has given me red and black capsules with the letters pwc encircled on both ends it says on a hand typed label Phentermine HCL 30 MG. I also have one for that is dark blue and white capsules with pwc encircled on both ends 37.5 MG phentermine HCL. I really really need to know if they are really what they say they are. I want to know if it is generic and if it is a medication from another country. I looked online for hours t...

I am taking Phentermine 37.5 mg and am wanting to start taking depression medication called Pristique. Is this safe to do? ## I am on prestique and phentermine 37.5 and have no problems. I take my prestique at night before bed. ## There aren't any interactions listed to contraindicate using the two together, however, you should ask your pharmacist just to be certain. Phentermine is an appetite suppressant commonly used to aid in weight loss, in the US it is often prescribed under the brand name Adipex. Common side effects may include: nausea, anorexia, headache and irritability. ## Pristiq contains the active ingredient Desvenlafaxine, this is an antidepressant of the SNRI class. Common side effects may include: nausea, insomnia, headache and dry mouth. You can read more here: Did y...

My Endocrinologist put me on Phentermine. I go monthly & I'm charged $100 for a month's worth, plus a B12 shot. My insurance isn't billed for these visits & no copay is charged. I'm not complaining, I'm just wondering why my Endo would do it this way? I'm given a bottle with a handwritten label. Is that normal or at least not unheard of? Location: Florida ## No, it isn't unheard of for a doctor to provide patients with prescription medications, years ago, many doctor's offices had a small, in-house, pharmacy that would be stocked with their most commonly prescribed medications. Some doctors also give samples of some medications to their patients to let them try something, before they commit to filling a whole prescription for something that may no...

I took phentermine and my UA CAME BACK CLEAN FOR METHAMPHETAMINE, but now they just did a hair sample. Will it test positive for methamphetamine? It's explainable if it does in the hair, but only if it's for amphetamine. I am in so much trouble. ## Most urine tests are not meant to pick up phentermine, especially a urine dip test like you would use at home. Also, most hair test are looking for specific chemical compounds called metabolites and if the metabolites are not there then the test will not show it in the results (negative). In order for a hair test to be positive it will have to have methamphetamine or amphetamine in the hair. Most labs are not looking for phentermine in a hair test. ## I have a hair follicle test for new employment. I am on a qsymia prescription. Will ...

Are they still available and what do they refer to them as now? ## How or where to purchase robin egg pills? Are they still called robin eggs? ## You guys are talking about the birds eggs diet pills, right? I remember those. Remember what used to be called Phen Fen but that was outlawed cause people were dying? But that was more like in the early 2000s. The robin eggs pills I think were just phentermine or a combinatinon of amphetamines. Did you all remember if it was used to lose weight? ## Hello Nicki, Reportedly the pills you are describing are 37.5 mg Phentermine pills, nicknamed robin eggs for their white and blue speckled appearance, which are primarily used to aid weight loss in conjunction to a weight loss regiment. These pills are still available in the United States but are co...

Can anyone give me the name of a clinic where I can get prescribed Acxion Fentermina? I have heard good things about this medication for weight loss but am not sure if there are nutritionists in my area that are able to prescribe it. ## You purchase them on bst? after a 2 yr struggle trying hard to lose the weight, I finally ordered acxion. I would have to admit, Its the sure thing, because I've tried them ALL. You are supposed to take one every morning upon waking up for 3 months. I lost all my weight ( 15 ibs. ) in the first 6 weeks though. I have had about 20 girlfriends share the same success as I. It was a miracle for me. They are made by a Mexican pharmacy called Medix. Good luck. ## Phentermine is an amphetamine class appetite suppressant used to help with weight loss. That s...

I have been taking Fentermina/Axcion 30mg faithfully since April 2008 when I was 32 yrs old and weighed in at 185 lbs. I'm 33 yrs old now and to this day I weigh 147 lbs. I haven't been this small since 2005. At the beginning I used to have really bad side effects such as really bad migraines, insomnia and so forth. Now a days, I only have dry mouth and am very thirsty. My headaches aren't as bad as they used to be and my insomnia either. I have no complaints especially because it's helped me suppress my appetite and helped me lose so much weight. I have been taking 30 mg and take it once a day in the morning and by the time I'm ready to go to bed, I'm drained and ready to go to sleep with no problems. ## I'm trying to get a RX for some phentermine in the 37....

my son came out positive to bzo...he says he was given pills to loose weight and he gave them to me they have a dch with a little matrix above the c. has anyone heard about this or seen this before. I wish you can help me...many thanks ## Hello, KB! How are you? Yes, from what I can find, these are listed as being weight loss pills from Mexico, but I can't find anything stating what the specific ingredients are… However, what I do know is that the FDA issue recent warnings on several of these products, due to the fact that they contained a potentially dangerous combination of ingredients, including Benzodiazepines, which carry the risk of being habit forming and are very commonly abused. I'll keep looking and see if I can find more definitive information for you. Have you ...

The label says 'phentermine' but it is a small round pink pill. I have searched many databases but most phentermine pills are white and blue. Can anyone help me identify this pill? ## Are there any markings on the tablet? If there aren't, it is going to be impossible to positively identify it. There are just far too many possibilities. It could be an over the counter item or a supplement. I am sorry, I wish I could be of more help. ## There are no details on the pill but I do know it is an appetite suppressent and the bottle said phentermine ## My friend has just come back from a slimwise clinic she has been given some round pink pills and there are no markings but have phentermine on the front ## hi i am taking the same pills small round pink tablets with no markings but wa...

I have taken phentermine several times and always had great results. I was prescribed phentermine 37.5 mg a few weeks ago and it doesn’t seem to be working. It has absolutely no effect on me. I still have an appetite, no increase in energy and haven’t lost any weight. I cannot seem to figure out what is going on this time and why it’s not working but it’s driving me insane and I have major anxiety over why it’s not working. Anyone have an experience like this? ## Is this prescription phentermine or the knock offs found on the Internet ? ## It is prescription. I have also gotten the same prescription from the same pharmacy before. ## Hello Riggsbo, According to the National Institute of Health phentermine should only assist in depressing your appetite and wi...

I was on Phentermine for years, which I know isn't how it's designed, but every time I relocated the doctor asked for a list of my current meds and I put it on there, so it kept cycling. In addition, I am on a few bipolar meds and Adderall. Approximately six months ago, my doctor decided that it was time to stop the Phentermine as it was a short-term drug and I had been on it for years. I was so scared of weight gain as Geodon was adding enough pounds alone. It took nearly four months to taper fully off. My experience (and for many people I know) is that when you begin Adderall it decreases your appetite, but that doesn't last forever. I'm getting a bit of my appetite back (I'm not restricting or starving myself) but I think I could be doing better or how I was doing...

Hi everyone. I'm new to phentermine (today will be the 4th half of a 37.5 MG pill) and I must say it's giving me some energy. I've had a couple palpitations but nothing horrible. I've got weird back pain, like in the kidney area bilateral sides of my back. It's not constant and usually occurs in the morning. I certainly don't want kidney problems but didn't really see that listed in side effects. Just checking to see if anyone else may have had it and whether you stopped the medication? ## I didn't see anything listed about Phentermine causing any kidney issues, either, typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, anorexia, insomnia, frequent urination, and elevated blood pressure. However, it is always best to consult your doctor to be s...

Since I started phentermine a week and a half ago I can tell that even my sweat pants are looser in my belly. I have had sadness/mood change that's began 5 days after and extreme exhaustion as well as extreme neck/back/shoulder stiffness/pain. Also 3 nights earlier this week while lying in bed I went to speak back at a voice that wasn't there and waved at someone that wasn't there! Haha kinda funny but a lil unnerving. Feels like my nerve endings are tingling all over my body. And cold feeling toes...I'm starting to think it's the med, lol, but hope there will be enough help in weight loss to outweigh the bad... I'm 5' 3" and started at 180... Don't know what I am now as I haven't weighed myself recently. Anyone else have similar experiences? ## T...

I have a spouse who has been a patient at an area Weight Loss MD clinic for many years. She has been on and off Phentermine throughout that time. I spoke to two representatives at Weight Loss MD and was very dismayed to learn that their physicians would not necessarily withhold prescribing Phentermine to a long-term alcoholic. Alcoholism is considered to be a drug addiction. My spouse has been abusing alcohol since she took her first drink, about 40 years ago. Just as disconcerting is the fact that my wife is not obese, yet she recently obtained another Phentermine prescription from a physician at her local Weight Loss MD clinic. There is reason to believe the drug is primarily being used for purposes other than weight loss. I have also observed acute signs of "phen rage" in my ...
