Phentermine is the most common drug used today. You have to be really careful with which doctor you see in regards to obtaining a prescription for this stuff. A lot of doctors, including ANP's, PA's, and APN's do NOT believe in these types of medications and will not prescribe them to anyone no matter what the case may be.

Phentermine helps you lose weight FAST, but you must combine it with a healthy diet plan, exercise, behavior adjustments. This drug can cause you to be VERY hyper. It gives you a lot of energy and is recommended to be taken at least 10-12 hours BEFORE your bedtime or you will NOT fall asleep at the planned time. Starting off on Phentermine at first can give you an increased change in your behavior, appetite, etc. You should eventually adjust to it. Normal dosaging is 30 MG's once every day. If you feel that is too strong for you and that you are not adjusting to the side effects, then there is a 15 MG. There is also a 37.5 MG if you feel that it's not working as well.

The key with Phentermine is that you MUST exercise too. Just because you lost all this weight with the drug does not mean that you will not gain all that weight back once you stop taking it. You have to continue to maintain that weight and stability. Phentermine causes you to be dehydrated so always have water or something to drink handy. You must not take Phentermine with antidepressants, antacids, anything containing pseuephedrine such as Sudafed, Claritin-D, Zyrtec-D, etc. And definitely no alcohol.

Eating with phentermine may sometimes be hard because phentermine works as a messenger to a nerve in your brain that tells you that you are full. You still need to eat in order to lose weight. Not eating normally or at all will cause your body to store all the fat you intake during those little times that you eat. Your body needs to break down food for energy. Storing the fat from those food will NOT help you lose weight.

Phentermine is not recommended to be prescribed longer than 12 weeks (3 months). Explaining your weight goal with your doctor helps determine how long you will need to lose the weight. Your first week, you should lose about 3 pounds. And every week after that, about 2 pounds. Phentermine is given with a quantity of 30 pills at a time. Nothing more. Even if refills, they are not valid. If your prescription says there are refills, it does not matter. This drug is highly regulated by the FDA and is only allowed to be dispensed 30 pills at a time, once per month, with a new prescription every month. Before obtaining your next month's prescription, you need to go do a weigh-in with your doctor's nurse to see how far you are from your goal and if you need another prescription depending on if you have met your goal yet or not. Most doctor's offices don't require that you make an appointment with the actual doctor. You can make appointments with their nurses. Some clinics have set up certain days and time frames for these types of appointments.

Can you take Paxil and do the HCG diet?

It is recommended that you check with your doctor before you begin the HCG diet, especially if you are taking prescription medication. Your doctor is the best source of information about your particular case with paxil and having them partner with you as you go on the HCG diet will allow them to monitor your progress. When medicine "interferes" with the diet, it usually means that progress is slowed slightly. So long as you have your doctor's OK, you should be fine to do the diet.
