I have been ordering the prescription drug phentermine online for about a year now. It is for weight loss but I like it b/cause it gives me EXTRA energy, but I find that when I run out I am so tired and have absolutly NO energy, so I frantically reorder more so that I can feel good again. This is a routine that I want to break because I have became addicted to these diet pills and their literally taking over. If I don't have them I am nuts! The bad thing is that I went online to see if there was a way of "weening" myself off of them and found nothing...I did find that some places actually USE phentermine to ween people that are addicted to cocaine, so what do you do for them if they get addicted to this crap??? Has anyone out there been through this, and if so would you give some advice? I appreciate any help on this matter.

Yes, I agree. I would suggest taking them every other day at first. Maybe on the off days you can do something differently...sugary or caffienated drinks. Also, what you are ordering online may not be the same as the kind prescribed by your doctor. I know there are different miligram levels of it. That's another option in weaning yourelf off. You can also go to your doctor about it and see what they can do. I don't think they will be judgemental. Good luck...I know you can do it!

You may have to just quit cold..maybe a little extra caffeine during the, or ween your self off with half your dosage down to every other day. Ask a doctor...maybe they have something. Check that site Web-MD also...Good Luck, don't give up though the first step is admitting you have a problem. It looks like you have come along way so to speak.

What site are you ordering phentermine from? I have the opposite problem, I feel that everytime I order online I get ripped off. I never feel any different when I take the phentermine and I never lost weight from it. I tried 3 different places and they all came from Florida.

If it were me...I'd go for a more natural way to get energy...Try B-12 liquid from the health food store. Have you tried ginseng? I can't help much...but that's a start.
