Adipex – Is it the Best Fat Burner?
Adipex is a prescription diet pill that is basically a stimulant similar to the amphetamines. It is also known generically as Phentermine. It works mainly as an appetite suppressant but may have some unpleasant side effects.
Adipex Ingredients
The active ingredient here is phentermine hydrochloride, otherwise known as dimethylphenylethylamine. This is a powerful controlled substance which his known to work effectively to suppress appetite but also to cause some adverse side effects in some cases. As some of the side effects may interfere with an exercise program, it is doubtful as to whether this is really a safe and healthy way to lose weight.
Adipex Side Effects
Possible side effects can include increased blood pressure and heart rate, chest pain, or unusual thoughts or behavior. An overdose of Adipex could be fatal and it should not be taken with any other medications without your doctor’s approval.
- Common, less-serious side-effects include.
- Headache, dizziness, tremors
- Trouble sleeping (insomnia)
- Dry mouth or an unpleasant taste in your mouth;
- Diarrhea or constipation
Adipex Conclusion
This is not a product to be taken lightly, but given its power and unsafe nature when combined with the pre-existing diet and exercise program of a person serious about losing weight, it doesn’t seem to be the ideal way to lose weight. It is prescription and costly and unless recommended by your doctor given an extreme circumstance, I would suggest you hold off on trying Adipex.

I have been taking phentermine for alomst a year and a half now, it does a great job at not making me want to eat, but as far as the weight loss- some but not no 80 lbs!!! im 5’8 and 170 when i first started i was 180 and its been a year!! i dont eat bad food im healthy and excerise.. i dont get how all of ya’ll lost all this big weight. since i have been taking it so long it makes me extremly ill during the evenings now for some reason. when i first started it was like i was high or something the feeling of it was amazing but i dont get it anymore, but it still works as in it still keeps my appitite wayyyy down. how did ya’ll lose such a big amount weight so fast. i just dont understand, and i’ve been taking it longer than you!!!!
I just started taking adipex not more than a day ago. I have already noticed a change in my appetite. So far, I’m feeling thinner and I never have an appetite. No side affects as of yet and I love the dosage.
I used adipex for one month with diet and exercise and I lost 25 pounds. I was so happy to finally have something that really worked. I’ve tried other diet pills and nothing ever worked, but Adipex did.
I took adipex for 2 months and lost around 40 pounds i only took 1/2 pill per day since i didnt want any side effects it works wonderful i have been off of it for 5 months and have gained weight back my dr will give me a refill on my perscription. the date in which the perscription expires is june of this year so i have ordered online
Hello Everyone! I am a 35yr old 5’3 female that weighed 203 lbs!! I also had a 10 lb baby 12 yrs ago and gained alot of weight during pregancy and have never been able to get it off or feel like my old self. Just kept getting bigger and feeling worse monthly. I had to change for myself & my daughter.
Jan 13, 2010 I made an appointment at the Bariatric Clinc here in upstate SC and was prescribed (Phentermine 37.5mg)~generic for Adipex-P & was given a B-12 injection. I take one tablet a day and drink TONS of water. The first week I lost 9 lbs, now at wk 3 I’ve shed 17 lbs! These pills DO WORK GREAT!!! No appeitite, ENERGY THRU THE ROOF, attitude & mood is the best its been in a long time, and ladies it improves your sex drive & puts it in overdrive!
SIDE EFFECTS: Only 2. Dry mouth and the worst is INSOMNIA! I find myself never wanting to eat nor sleep. I have stayed up as long as 30hrs and had to force myself to lay down and only slept for a couple of hrs at best. I feel full of energy all the time and can clean house like I never have before! The weight is melting off of me daily.
Told my doctor about the insomnia, she fixed the problem. Prescribed me Trazodone to make me fall asleep. (you have to be ready to lay down when that window comes; if you don’t it will be like you never took a thing). The Phentermine is STRONG and works and you see results fast! After all it is Speed. I have had NO problems while taking this combination and so far I am VERY well pleased! Water is key here & a stool softner if you struggle with constipation. I have also changed my eating habits and will start walking as soon as it warms up a bit. It’s dead winter right now. Read about the medicine and talk to your doctor. I highly recommend it!
As with any pill or weight loss aid, I would give the same advice for all. If you aren’t willing to put in the work, just don’t bother or you will have the side effects. It gives you energy, use it!!! Run, walk, bike, and see how you feel afterwards, it is absolutely euphoric
It has helped me to train myself to eat very small meals, and consume the recommended amount of calories for my body type each day. Your body needs the energy from food, so please never starve yourself. I have the energy to get up in the morning and eat breakfast and I love it. Best wishes to all!
I just started adipex 2 weeksa ago, I have lost 4lbs so far and lookn forward to losing more. My starting weight was 270 now im at 266! wish me luck, The side effects have been minimal, just slight headaches and unusual thirst!
I have been on phentermine (adipex) now for three months and have not had any adverse side effects besides insomnia, but that is taken care of now that I have asked my Dr. if I could split the pills, and since then I am able to sleep normally. It has helped me maintain the energy that I need in order for me to continue exercising, going to school, and going to work. I am 4’11″ (my doctor counts me at 5’0″ even) and weighed 176lbs when I first started adipex with my original diet and exercise plan. It helped me distinguish between hunger and thirst as my body was not responding to the chemical signals that tell you when you are hungry and when you are not/full. I have lost a little over 30lbs now and my vital signs are all within my normal range to +/- 2-3 max. That being said do not take adipex if you are drinking energy drinks as it will cause your pupils to dilate like you are high. Make sure you do eat when on the pill as it is more effective if you maintain a certain caloric range and eat 4-6 small meals a day and don’t eat after 7pm unless your body is attuned to that schedule due to work, school, etc. This also may prevent the problem of you gaining weight back after you stop taking adipex since your stomach would not have shrunk and then you are devouring a baker’s dozen of any type of food.
