Tried Topiramate and Phentermine for weight loss? Side effects?

Congrats to you as well! That’s a big accomplishment. Best wishes moving forward. 👏🏻💐👍⭐️
I will definitely post when that final pound goes. It’s a major milestone.

Happy New Year!

Here is a website below that explain about a dry fast.

It is not something I recommend doing until you do detail research. I have been water fasting for a couple of years before dry fasting.

Hello - what is a dry fast and a water fast?

Happy New Year to you too! I’m doing well. Since that post upthread I’ve continued in my fitness and health journey. I’ve continued to lose weight and am now 1 pound from my goal. It’s very exciting.
I hope you are well. Sending best wishes your way!

Happy New Year hope things are well with you dear!

Happy New Year! We haven't spoke in a while. Hope you are doing well. Sending hugs and blessings to you for this year.

Phentermine and Topiramate ignited my weight loss journey. Initially, I encountered a few side effects, but reducing the dosage solved the issue, allowing me to feel comfortable in my own skin.

I discovered that my body adapted to the medication, and its effects diminished over time. It's essential to remember that everyone's metabolic makeup is unique, and what works for one person may not work for another.

I no longer take the medication and haven't experienced weight gain, likely due to maintaining healthy eating habits.

Keeping a food and beverage journal I've learned that my favorite beverage beer leads to weight gain. 🥲

But....... I've found a solution drinking low-calorie, non-alcoholic beer in moderation lead to no weight gain and I am just happy with that. 🍻

At the end of the day it's all about nourishing the temple that houses our spirit and recognizing that individual experiences negative or positive should not dictate others' choices.

Happy New Year!

My Pcp has used phentermine and it has been successful for me. I was limited in my choices because of my status as an ER positive PR positive breast cancer patient. Most of the weight loss drugs are hormone based and that is a big no for me. Phentermine, the old half of the drug known as Fen/Phen back in the day was safe. As described to me by my doctor and also on the paperwork with the medication things to look up for or jumpiness nervousness, etc. I experienced none of that. I have been able to lose 30 pounds over the course of 12 months. I’m going to begin another round of phentermine in February. My PCP said it doesn’t work for everyone, some people can’t tolerate the nervousness and jumping as they feel, so it is probably a pretty individual thing. It is also addictive to some degree, you have to sign ensure your drivers license and your limited as to how long and frequently you can take it during the calendar year. What has been hard for me is that after a three month course where I would typically lose around 15 pounds and I take a break if the break is too long, some of the weight creeps back on. but my Pcp told me is that for some people taking it one month on, one month off is within the standards of prescription of this medication and seems to be successful in maintaining lost weight. Hope that helps. I had truly tried everything else, not medicine, but exercise, tracking foods, etc. nothing was ever successful for me, but phentermine was.

I don’t recommend adapex causes heart damage. Seriously I can’t believe it’s still being prescribed. I have heart damage from being on it. So does my twin sister. As soon as you get off you gain it all back.
