Anyone using Phentermine?

If I am not PG this cycle, I am thinking of starting on this so that I can lose the weight before getting PG again (and hopefully not gain it all back LOL). Anyone on it? If so, which doctor did you visit to get the perscription? What side effects have you had and, if comfortable sharing, how much weight have you lost?

Re: Anyone using Phentermine?
I used phentermine for 3-4 months about two years ago. My regular doctor (family medicine) prescribed it to me as an "appetite supressant" He told me that I could experience high blood pressure or insomnia. I never had any side effects, although I had much more energy--but I started exercising too so that may have helped.
I lost 40lbs by the time I stopped taking it. I decided to stop taking it so I could finish up the last 20lbs on my own, even though my doctor was willing to prescribe it for longer.
Honestly, I loved phen. It helped me establish healthier habits that I couldn't seem to stick to on my own at first.
