    I started taking this medicine 12/02/20. I have now lost 16Ilbs 03/26/21. It was coming off fast at first especially when I was exercising more. With diet and exercise it is a great drug to be one for a short time. I am now experiencing a lot of teeth and gums problems from the dry mouth. My tongue feels like I have burnt it all the time. My gums are receding also.

    Why isn't my comment positing? I gained weight on phentermine. I gave it a bad review so what do I have to say it's good in order for it to allow my comment. Ok I'll change to someone satisfied but in all reality it was a waste of money. I don't know how everyone is losing weight. I did lose my appetite which was great but I could sleep that night. I had to take it every othe ... Show Full Comment

    I was in this many years ago and it worked GREAT. I was recently put on it again and had a terrible reaction. Sores on the side of my tongue. So painful. I even took half for a few days and the same thing happened. It�s not listed in the side effects but after much research it does happen to many people. So upset that I can�t take it anymore.

    Comment:
    It definitely suppressed the appetite. However, I didnâ??t know that dry mouth can lead to tooth decay, which has caused me to need a crown. So, not sure the $1500 for dental work is worth the 18 lbs lost that Iâ??ll most likely gain back once Iâ??m off the drug. I took it a few years ago and as soon as I stopped, itâ??s like my appetite exploded. I craved everything. Iâ?? ... Show Full Comment
