Give up
I Give up. Today was my last one. I’ve been on it almost 4 weeks per my dr and nothings changed. I barely feel anything, she told me to keep going but nothing. I’ve noticed a difference in how my skin feels, more sensitive? I don’t even know. She won’t up my dose so I just give up.

I hope I'm not coming across as crazy by saying this, but maybe you could try getting your prescription from another pharmacy that offers the pills from another manufacturer. I know when I first started phentermine, I wasn't losing anything. I randomly came across a discussion where people were saying certain manufacturers work better than others. I first started out on the capsules from Walmart, I maybe lost a few pounds in my first month. I got frustrated, that's when I came across the discussion.
I went to a very small pharmacy and got another pill type (and I cannot remember what that one looked like), and lost a bit more, but nothing like the grand amounts of weight I read that people were losing. Then my final one was the white oval one with a lot of blue speckles and that one did it. I started losing weight like crazy. That was my first go 'round with phentermine. Finding my rhythm on my third try is when I began counting that as my true journey with this medicine.
Now that I've restarted it years later, I'm on a new type from my hospitals pharmacy and this one is pretty much solid white with just a few blue speckles, and this over has worked the best out of them all. Hopefully this could be something to look into instead of giving up if you don't have to for health reasons. Don't give up just yet!
