PS What is Phentermin?

There is NOTHING simple about all of this.

It is a perscription med to help you not think about eating no more hunger, no more thinking about food.

I just need something to get me going again. I am scared and want to stop.

Please be very careful. There is a reason your doctor will not give it to you. I understand the rut that you are in and the feeling that this is the only way to control your eating, but it is not the solution. I used (which turned into abused) Phentermine for 2 years and it has only worsened my condition, and I have heard plenty of people in OA who it did the same thing to.

Sure the Phentermine may work in the short-term, but how do you think you are going to manage your weight and eating habits in the long term. When you have lost the weight you need to and no doctor in their right mind will give you a script... you will be on your own!

If you are successful in getting your hands on some it will only prolong your battle with this horrible condition - probably even making it worse than you have ever imagined. That is what it has done to me.

If you are serious about getting healthy and getting your sanity back, you will do everything you can to do this without the medication. Phentermin is an amphetamine - in the same family as speed and ice. It works to stop you eating because appetite suppression is a side-effect of amphetamines, you would get the same effect from taking speed or ice. It also messes with your mind the same as the street drugs do. You will not be able to sleep properly and you will turn into a moody, cranky, horrible person to be around.

I understand your desperation, I have been there many times before. Sorry if I sound harsh, but this is something I feel very strongly about and I don't want to see anyone else make the same mistakes that I did. I will be praying for you, and I am always here if you need extra support.

I went into this post because I wasn't sure what Phentermin was. But now that I know I have a suggestion that might help. Have you tried coffee? I mean you talk about it suppressing appetite and caffine does the same thing on a way way way way smaller level. If you can't get a perscription maybe coffee might help. I know it's a kinda lame suggestion and coffee isn't all that healthy but I drink it when I'm dieing to binge. Hope you feel better! :-)

I started drinking coffee a few years back when I started Jenny Craig and well it stuck and now I have to have it to get the day going. BUT when i am on a eating plan and losing it always helps to drink it up. I drink too much coffee.

I am on phentermine right now and it makes me not want to eat but I haven't lost any weight at all. In fact, I've gained weight. It does help with the bingeing. You don't think about food all the time when you are on it and you don't over eat. In that way it is helpful. It's nice not to want and think about food all day. I don't binge anymore, either. I am on this mood stabilizer called clozaril that caused me to want to eat constantly and that is why I am on the phentermine so that it can control my cravings for food. The phentermine is supposed to help me lose weight but I haven't seen any results.
