When I took the phentermine in the past, it gave me lots of energy, but that did go away. I lost about 15 lbs. in 3 weeks. BOY...I need that now. I do not have a weight problem, but I am about 15 - 20 lbs overweight. Most of weight is left over from being pregnant. I am normally small. I have just had a hard time losing this extra weight. Most people tell me "Oh, it's your age"! People blame a lot on age. I know I can lose it, I just need a little push.
