Topiramate 50 Mg and Phentermine 15 Mg for weight loss

Posted by riana1 @riana1, Oct 26, 2023

I had gastric bypass surgery in 2016.
Over time I regained the weight. Went to a gastric bypass doctor on referral by primary doctor.

He prescribed me Topiramate 50 Mg and Phentermine 15 Mg for weight loss management.

I am on the fence about taking these drugs even though he assured me it’s safe. Topiramate is a drug used to treat epilepsy and Phentermine is used to lessen appetite.

Has anyone in this group tried weight loss pills, if so which ones, were useful, and did you experience side effects.

Sounds like you're doing awesome in the inches meltdown. I'm staying alive as the Gibbs brothers beautifully sung.

Yes, I had the MRI and have an appointment this week to discuss results and options for me.

In the meantime, I'm enjoying my weekend plans as you are. Take care, stay safe, and celebrate every single moment of your life and enjoy those who love you that are still in this world and remember fondly those who loved you that are no longer here.

Live, love and laugh 😂

Just wanted to post that I finally hit 60 pound weight loss milestone! I had actually increased my calorie intake. So, this is amazing! I still have about 30 more to go, but I can’t imagine it. When I walk by a mirror out in a lobby in public, it sort of takes me off guard. Is that me? Lol

I simply must return to more strength training, though. I need to get more muscle.

I’m back to losing again. Now down 63 pounds. I think the suggestions the nutritionist gave were helpful. I cut out some of my morning fat. It was healthy fat, but my body was struggling to process it. I changed my breakfast and it helped. I feel encouraged to continue on my journey! I guess I won’t pursue and meds right now.

Hope things are well with everybody.
