First of all, forget taking this garbage to lose weight! You need to sit back, relax, and evaluate your current situation. Create a goal to lose however much weight you want to lose. Next thing to do is to figure out how many calories you're consuming every day. Once you obtain that average, cut it down by 500 calories by eating more fresh fruits and vegetables. Not only will you lose weight but you'll end up feeling a heck of a lot better.
Using phentermine and topamax might help you lose some immediate water weight but you can do the same thing by actually hydrating yourself with water... That's right... It takes more water to lose water. Believe it or not, most everyone is operating on a day to day basis being pretty dehydrated. Instead of water, we're drinking garbage... Sodas, coffee, etc. The more dehydrated our body thinks we are, the more it holds on to the water weight. Research says we can hold as much as 10 extra pounds of pure water weight.
The real secret to weight loss isn't phentermine and topamax. It's a change of lifestyle. You have to get your mind right and then slowly modify your lifestyle to include healthy eating habits combined with regular exercise and before you know it -- 6 months down the line, you're going to have a very attractive body. I should know... I was 35 pounds overweight less than a year ago.
Having said all that... If you persist in wanting to use phentermine and topamax together, be forewarned of the following side effects:
a) 15-20% reported paresthesia (a feeling of ?pins and needles? on the skin) versus 3% in the placebo group.
b) 12-18% reported dry mouth versus 0% in the placebo group.
c) 8-15% reported altered taste versus 0% in the placebo group.
d) 6-11% reported constipation versus 6 percent in the placebo group.
e) 0.9-1.9% reported depression and altered mood versus 1.8 percent in the placebo group.
The only side effects I would want to experience are GOOD side effects!
Good luck!
