That's some good news if you ask me. It seems a lot of the diet/appetite suppresant out there have not been evaluated by the FDA. Granted, most of those are over-the-counter pills, but still.

It would be nice to see more FDA approved diet pills on the market that is for sure. I hope this goes through.

i have a feeling like many diet pills, people will hope that this is a do it all, all in one type of thing where they take it without eating good and exercising and hope to see sizeable weight loss. once the word FDA approved is used in the marketing of this people people will go nuts.

As a pharmacy employee I have noticed that most insurance companies are not covering this drug. It makes no sense to me. I'd much rather cover a drug that will help somebody become healthier, rather than cover something much worse. At our pharmacy this drug runs $27.46 for a 1 month supply, which is affordable. However, I don't think this drug is for me. |

I'm still trying to figure out why they won't cover it. Same for the birth control pills, most insurance companies won't cover them, yet they cover the birth of a baby. Is it just me or does this just not make any sense?? |

Maybe because once you are pregnant they figure having a baby is a necesity like OD said, but birth control and diet pills aren't? What kills me is that if diet pills do their job, they in theory should help people lose weight which would save insurance companies a ton of money in the long run with cardiovascular disease, cancer, etc.

Maybe they would have to raise their rates so much to cover birth control and diet pills that they feel that a lot of people would drop their coverage, and then they would lose money.

I have taking phentermine since Jan 8, 2009 and I can tell you it does work. It gives you energy and curbs the appetite. I also take byetta for my diabetes now. I just start that one in March.

| Re: Phentermine diet pill for obesity has FDA endorsement
Several years ago, I used Phentermine to lose weight. I lost 30 pounds in 33 days. In addition to it suppressing my appetite, it also made me pretty darned happy and I noticed a became a lot nicer, too. I was much more energetic than usual. Once I stopped taking it (was causing heart palpitations), I went back to my old habits. Sadly, I gained all the weight back. I'm sure it's because I did not change my food choices, but instead had just eaten a lot less because of the medication. I recently asked my doctor about trying it again. He didn't know I had taken it previously (I had gone with my friends to a "diet doctor") and told me he would never prescribe that ... said it's just speed. Personally, due to the palpitations, I would probably be too scared to try it again, anyway, but I'm actually doing okay without it.

SplashMom, heart palpitations sounds pretty scary! I'm sure you're doing things healthier this time, and you're only 50 pounds from your goal, you just have to do what you did the last six weeks a couple more times and you're done!
I think the problem with diet pills is that in order to lose weight you still have to eat less and exercise more, plus you get side effects. If you can do it with willpower it's healthier in the end. It's kind of the same thing for the weight loss surgeries. I know it's easier to consume less calories if you physically CANT fit as much food in your stomach, but in the end you're still the one doing the work, so why not do it on your own and avoid all the digestive trouble and surgery risks?
I see a lot of people here meeting their fitness goals just by living healthy and I think it's great! It's going to take me a while but I want to do it too!

I've been taking phentermine for 2 months now, it's given me energy I haven't had in years!! Instead of feeling so tired like I have to nap every day, I'm actually being productive!
I also joined Weight Watchers and started walking. In the 3 weeks I've been on WW + walking, I've lost 13lbs!
i've had no side effects like some posters, which I'm very thankful for!

The side effects of this medication are horrible, Phentermine Side Effects | Drugs.com.
Think twice before thinking this is a "good thing".
This was one of the "PHENS" in Fen Phen.... Here is a link to the controversial usage of the combination of the two: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fen-phen
And another list of side effects of phentermine: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phentermine#Side_effects

Im currently taking 37.5g of phentramine a day, It has alot of good effects that can outway the bad.
In the short term I gain a great boost of energy, suppres my appetite and I also find Im able to workout longer or do more befor I get soreness or stiffness in my joints or muscles.
Some of the bad effects, I find everything irritates me even the littlest things and that can case me to be short tempred with my girlfriend and family. I get really bad dry mouth all day without stop(could be considered a plus because it forces you to drink lots of water.) It also causes alot of restless nights and makes it hard to sleep.
I find that for me personally its benefits heavily outweigh its side effects. Im sure its diffrent for every person and there tolerance of lack of sleep and what not.
Edit: I forgot to mention I dont think you should use this unless you have an extreme amount of weight to lose. It has the same chemical properties as speed and can cause alot of issues if your not strong of will or if you have current addictions(smoking drinking so on).

I think the most important thing with this diet pill or anything someone uses as a tool to use weight is make sure you're doing it in combination with changing your lifestyle. I don't think just taking the diet pill will work long term because once you go off the pill and your appetite returns you're more likely to go back to your old habits and thus the weight is likely to come back. I think no matter what method you use to loose weight you should always use it in conjunction with eating healthy and exercising.
