There are quite a few different diet medications currently available by prescription only and among the most commonly prescribed is Adipex. This drug is a form of stimulant which functions by suppressing the appetite of the user so that he or she will not be inclined to eat as much or as frequently.
Adipex is different from many of the weight loss supplements currently on the market in that it is designed specifically for individuals – both men and women – who have been diagnosed with obesity, and as a result of this condition are also at risk of serious health risks such as diabetes, high cholesterol, and/or high blood pressure.
Adipex is not a solution for weight loss all by itself, but is instead a part of a complete program that includes a healthy well balanced and portion controlled diet, as well as a proper daily exercise regimen. For this reason, it is important to keep regular appointments with a doctor throughout the use of the pill in order to ensure that it is being used properly and the appropriate lifestyle changes are being maintained.
As a prescription drug, Adipex is associated with a number of potential side effects. Among them are fatigue, depression, impaired thinking, withdrawal, and extreme tiredness. It is important to understand that these are only a few of a longer list of side effects that are possible with the use of this drug. Dieters who are allergic to stimulants will not be able to take this drug. Moreover, it should not be taken by people with an overactive thyroid gland, glaucoma, or alcoholism. Some health issues that can occur though the use of this drug include diarrhea, dizziness, rapid heartbeat, chest pain, blurred vision, and insomnia.
Among the advantages of Adipex is the fact that you must obtain a doctor’s prescription in order to purchase it. Therefore, this means that it is better regulated than many other forms of supplements and products meant for weight loss. Furthermore, it means that your doctor will have considered your unique health situation including your medical history, any conditions you have, and any other medications you will be taking at the same time. This helps to ensure that you will be taking the right product for you.
Some of the disadvantages include the side effects and that you cannot obtain it without having obtained the permission of a licensed doctor. Also, it is not meant for people who are simply seeking cosmetic weight loss. Only individuals with obesity and certain health risks will obtain a prescription.
Was wondering about pricing on Adipex withiut a script. Thanks.
@ Cindi-
You HAVE to have a prescription from your doctor to get adipex. You can’t buy it online or otherwise without one. What you CAN buy online and without a script is PhentraminD, which is very similar to Adipex. You can get a one month supply for $67.00 which is not bad because you can lose up to 20lbs in a month.
I get my Phentermine 37.5mg from the Urgent Care pharmacy for $15 which is a very good price. If you have an Urgent Care where you live try them.
Did you have to have an RX in order to buy it?
@Adrienna
Yes you need a prescription to buy phentermine. PhentraminD on the other hand you can buy online without a prescription.
Phentermine and adipex both work extremely well but they are hard to get and have a lot of side effects. If you are unable to get them I would highly recommend PhentraminD. I have lost 11 lbs and I have been taking it for 10 days. I have gone from 147 to 136 and I am 5’2″.
Will Phentramin D work as good as Adipex? I need to shed about 40lbs and I want to do it before summer… Ya I know, leaving it to the last minute. Something I am good at.
I have lost 25 lbs so far with being on phentramin d. I really do think it’s helping but i am watching what i put in my mouth when i do eat something. I am eating a lot of lean meats and non fat dairy. I do have a glass of wine every night as well. can’t seem to give that one up!! but if i did i am sure i would be down even more. Is it as good as adipex? not totally sure, but it works for me!
Some people say it works better then adipex and others say it’s not as stong. I think it just depends on the person and who you talk to.
I have heard it works very comparably. I was unable to get adipex from my doctor though because my start weight was not nearly heavy enough so I got myself phentraminD.
