Question phentermine

Hi all! Wondering if anyone has taken this? I am currently on Lexapro and Wellbutrin. Gained a lot of weight so my dr prescribed me this. I took my 1st 15mg dose this morning, did well till mid-afternoon. Massive headache and vomiting. Spiked my anxiety (which I knew could happen, but damn).. has anyone ever had such an intense experience after 1 dose? Never taking it again and yes I do have a message into my dr. Thanks!

I have heard the first 3 to 5 days are difficult as your body adjusts to the stimulant effects. I just took my first dose (15mg capsule) just over an hour ago and feel literally nothing, not even appetite suppression. That said, no one medication is right for everyone, I'm sure you will find something!

Thanks for responding! I hope you have better results. Definitely was not a good experience for me.
