Adipex-P® is a prescription drug that is designed to suppress the appetite. This weight loss drug is actually quite controversial, and there are many health professionals who are against it. In addition, we noticed that this drug did not score well on consumer-driven websites that rate various weight loss aids. These low scores may be for a variety of reasons, but we feel they may be linked to unwanted side effects that are associated with this drug. Read a full Adipex Review Here.

HoodiaP57 - Pure 20X Strength Certified Hoodia
This product is simply as good as Hoodia gets. It is 100% certified, pure Hoodia from South Africa. It also boasts 20X the strength. If any Hoodia product is going to suppress appetite, this is the one. We also like that HoodiaP57 contains nothing else except pure Hoodia -- no fillers and no stimulants. This means it is safe to take whenever you want – including close to bed time. There are hundreds of Hoodia products on the market now, but we don’t even bother to list them on this site, because 99% of them are just cheap imitation Hoodia that is not even from South Africa, where the P57 molecule is the most effective. We chose HoodiaP57 to be on DietBlogTalk because it is of the utmost quality. The maker even includes a certificate of origin from the South African government stating the Hoodia originates from there. This product has nearly a perfect ‘Thumbs Up’ score. Check this one out.

Slim10® - 10 Patented, Proven Ingredients - 1 Pill
Slim 10® has hit the marketplace with a huge bang. This is the first and only weight loss pill ever made that has combined 10 different patented, clinically proven effective ingredients. And to top it off, they added 500mg of pure South African Hoodia in a 20X potency to every serving. This pill is pure weight loss science. In fact, with this many award-winning ingredients in one capsule, we don’t see how anyone could not lose weight by taking it. Each of these effective ingredients is standardized so you always get a product you can count on, and they all have not just one, but several clinical studies backing their claims. The Slim 10® customers say it all—check out these enthusiastic postings on the blog. In fact, Slim 10® is on par with the best diet pills around like Nuphedrine® and HoodiaP57®. Nuphedrine is definitely the strongest of the three pills on metabolism boosting, and HoodiaP57 is the best for just pure appetite suppression, but Slim 10® is the most balanced of all of them in terms of a variety of 100% clinically proven and patented ingredients. The truth is, it really just depends on what pill is best for the consumer—some will do better with Nuphedrine, others with HoodiaP57, and of course some with Slim10®. We can definitely say that you can’t go wrong with Slim 10® in terms of losing weight. Read a full Slim 10 Review Here.

The really amazing part is that most of their customers come from word of mouth, and it is quickly becoming one of the most popular diet products available.

The formula consists of a quality form of Hoodia, combined with the patented metabolism booster, Advantra-Z®. It also has several other balancing secondary ingredients.

HoodiaBites
This product is just what it sounds like - chewable Hoodia pieces. The good news is that they actually use a superior quality form of Hoodia, and it works. In fact, this is probably the fastest way to feel Hoodia, because when you eat it, it digests so much quicker. In fact, most customers report that it works in minutes not hours like traditional capsules. The chewable pieces are very much like a piece of taffy and taste good. They kick in faster than a quality Hoodia pill, and definitely do the trick. They are only a few calories per piece, and may be taken safely throughout the day.

Slimaluma™
(U.S. Patent 7,060,308) -- We found that this ingredient is proven to drastically suppress the appetite. When you’re hungry, the hypothalamus tells the brain that food is needed. And when the stomach is full, the hypothalamus tells the brain to stop eating. Slimaluma™ sends a signal to the hypothalamus telling the brain that your stomach is full, which helps people eat much less. The customers speak highly of Slimaluma™ -- but it needs to be used in a supportive diet capsule with other essential ingredients. The consumer response has been especially high on this ingredient and products that include it. Read a full Slimaluma Review Here.

kelly lenoir: i started taking adipex dec. 1st. Only the first 2 days of taking this, I had insomnia. After that I slept fine and it is now dec.9, and i already lost 10 lbs! And no other signs of any symptoms so far, I am on a strict diet and under a doctors care. i just wanted to say. It works and i love it.! Thank you

rachel: adipex caused a lot of problems for me: heart palptiations, sleeplessness, shakiness and dizziness. I felt terrible almost the entire time, and i still had a monster appetite. Maybe for some people who are on a major diet, this works, but I was taking the Adipex only, and nothing happened but side effects.

TROY: I FELT DIZZY A LITTLE FOR FIRST DAY OR TWO, SINCE THEN I LOST 35 LBS IN 35 DAYS.I WILL STAY ON IT LILL I REACH MY GOAL. THE GENERIC ONLY COST $23.00 AT WALL MART.

wendy: yes same here i am feeling a bit dizzy and nauseous and some trouble falling to sleep with Adipex but i am going to stay with it bcs i am loosing about 2 lbs per day although sometimes that changes when i drink a glass of water but i think i will keep going.

madelyn: OMG i you people are crazy if you think that its a smart idea to just "put up with" The DANGEROUS SIDE EFFECTS you are describing! Dizziness and heart palpitaitons can be a sign of something seriously wrong, and you should not just dismiss it! Adipex is nothing more than a WATER WEIGHT PILL and it made me feel like total crap. I lost some weight with it but THAT WEIGHT CAME RIGHT BACK WHENEVER I REHYDRATED!!! This is a quick fix and a fake and it made me feel panicked and terrible,

Em: I have taken Atipex off and on for about a year. Yes, I will say I lost 20 pounds in 30-45 days. However, as soon as I stopped taking it I slowly gained the weight again. I did build more muscle because I was exercising and eating less. If I could just keep my portion size down I could keep the weight off. I stop taking Atipex for three months at a time and if I need a recharge I use it again. I had no side effects it works great for me. I had some positive side effects, more energy!

LaTonia: I have been taken Adipex-P 37.5 for 2 weeks and have lost 11 lbs. I also eat healthier and exercise 3 days a week. I had some side affect for the first two days, then they went away. My doctor said the pills has to get in your system and the feelings go away. All the diet pills I have taken, this is the best of them all. Some people don't understand how hard it is to loss weight and keep it off, then they call you crazy for trying something knew because it has side affects. They're doing the same thing and a different way (taken chances in life). Adipex is not a water weight pill! It's a wonderful pill that everyone should know about that's having a hard time losing weight. Just eat right, exercise and you will see a big change. Plus, it's an appetite surpressant. I have to make myself eat and that says a lot for me. The price is GREAT when you have a prescription. Adipex may NOT be right for everyone, but it's right for ME.

ida: I have been takind adipex since september 2008, it is now February 2009,and I have lost 45 pounds. I am under a doctor's supervision. I have not had any side effects but I am only taking 1/2 of the prescribed dose. I exercise 1 hour a day and I feel great.

Arianna: I am interested in Adipex but I am a bit scared of the side effects. How bad are they? I jsut read a little bit about it and it sounded like a lot. For those of you who have stopped taking it, do you suffer from depression now? how about extreme tiredness? Tahnk you.

Autumn: I am scheduled to start getting and taking adipex in about a week i was just wondering exactly how fast it could work for me...i am very tall and have alot of muscle but i am overweight..any opinons? thank you.

Starr: When I was first prescribed Adipex I was not able to sleep for the four days I took it. I stopped taking it in order to to go to sleep. I am going to start taking it again, but what can I do about sleeping? I think thats what makes you so crabby!

Donna: Alot of ppl dont like the side effects, but I love the energy rush it gives me Im 26 I used to feel like I was 60 with very low energy, now Im back to my old self again!! And the weight loss is amazing, Im one who loves to eat Im addicted to food! But now I dont even think about eating and when I do eat its very little and Im full! In 3mos Ive lost 45lbs without even tring I do walk 30min a day but thats it! I dont get a full 8hrs of sleep anymore but that doesnt bother me because I dont feel tired. Oh and Im 5'9 and now 177 so Autumn it does work on tall ppl also, good luck on the meds!

linda: Well for me the result was different with Adipex. It made me quite nervous and i felt weird, esp. if i took too many or too late in the day. i notcied that the anxiety i had with this cuased me to go after "comfort foods" such as breads and potatoes, but i thought that was ok because i thought the Adipex was burning mroe calories. But that didn't turn out to be the case. I just barely managed to "break even" with this pill, meaning I stayed the same.

lorraine: well for me the side affects are'nt all that bad i don't have a taste for swets nor soda, i have drank more water in the last three weeks than i have in three months, i lost 10 lbs in the first 7 days the rest is moving quite slow, but i plan to continue.

Morgan: I have taken Adipex. It really does work. You lose a significant amount of weight quickly which is why I understand the controversy over it. It does give you a crazy rush of energy. I took 1 pill on Wednesday and did not eat all day. Well I had a granola bar, my sister reminded me that I hadn't eaten all day. It actually took me about 10 minutes to eat it, I normally tear 2 of them up in 2 minutes. You do need to drink a lot of water though, and it is recommended that you do eat a small portion of food, you'll still lose a great amount of weight. I lost 3 lbs in 1 day. That's very unhealthy, but hey, my spring break is right around the corner!!!

nicola: Adipex works very slowly, and the initial water weight that i lost from the caffeine seemed to have come back 3 days later. Also it didn't make me better able to resist food temptation and cravings, and whenever i took it too late in the day, i was unable to sleep at night. i really really wanted to believe in this, i wanted it to work, but i have to admit it seems to be completely ineffective for me.,

deborah: i have been taking adipex for almost 1 month and i think it and it helps me not to eat to much i have lost 10 pounds so far its great

Jennifer: I have been taking adipex since the middle of jan 09. i go every month but i haven't really noticed any changes. when i first started taking it i lost weight super fast but as my body has become immune to it, it doesn't even keep me from being hungry anymore. i can take one when i get up in the morning and it does nothing for me now. even when i lay off of them for a few days.i don't get the rush of energy that everyone talks about and i don't have any problems sleeping. so for me they just don't work, but for some reason i feel the need to keep going back. i have only lost 1 inch in my waist and hips and none in my belly and this is 3 months of taking them. i have lost 12 pounds but i do count calories and go to the gym so i can't say that it is the pill. it wouldn't hurt to try it but if you don't see results i would definately leave them alone.

Marie: I recently lost my job and insurance with it so I am looking for a similar product online. Is hoodia any good?

Uh-huh: I started this product on Jan. 5th and in the first month lost 15 lbs, combined with diet and exercise. Two months later I am down 28#. I had extreme dry mouth, restlessness and my restless leg syndrome was worse, for the first two weeks. I agree that now it does not seem to have any effect....except that when I stop taking them I am dead tired. I do believe that for the first month they really helped to control my appetite. I actually had to force myself to eat because I never felt hungry. I think that this pill is good to jump start your weight loss plan. It got me off to a good start and now with exercise and better eating choices...I am still losing weight. - Adipex

Elizabeth: I took prescription Adipex in Dec and lost 10# in 2 weeks. I loved the energy it gave me. I went to a doctor and he gave Adipex out of his office. It has none of the effects that the prescription one gave me. I dont have any energy and I work out 5x a week and have only lost about 6lbs in a month. Why such the difference? I feel like I got ripped off.

monica: The 1st time I took Adipex I lost 63 lbs in 5 months! I was playing softball and doing some walk and following an easy diet my doc gave.When I say easy I mean it because I hate diets!! But as you know you are only suppose to take it for a few months After not taking it I was very sleepy,I would say a little edgy, But as far as my body omg!!! I would tell anyone that needs to lose weight this is it!! But for me unfortunately I gained 50 lbs back! that is my fault though because if I would have just followed the diet I would have still had my lovely body. I advise that diet and exercise is very important! This pill IS THE MIRACLE PILL but you still need to change your way of eating and exercising.because you can't take it forever. I am back on it and have lost 20lbs.also take it first thing in morning or sleeping will be difficult. Thanks and good luck. remember it will work if you work!!!!!

sherrie: i started taking this pill on 3/26 today i lost 8lbs i eat 1000-1300 cal day and work out 5x week for 45 min i need to control my appetite. so far so good. post later

renee: how do you find a doctor that will perscription in new jersey my primary will not

sHAY: I have taken this Adipex pill on and off since 2005. At first, it was great. i lost a lot of weight. It curved my appetite and I exercised and I looked great. Then I got pregnant in 2007 and started taking it again. I didn't lose weight on it. It didn't even curve my appetite. I must have built a tolerance for me because to most it does now is give me a lil energy for the day and i have dry mouth with it all day. I wish i could lose the weight again....now I don't know what to do.

Tia: YEs, I agree, that Adipex kinda "quits" on you after a certain point. For me it stopped working a lot sooner. LIke, within 1 month i wasn't noticing anymore effects (it never really curbed my appetite actually) no fat burn, no further weight loss and I got tired of ordering it from so called pharmacies.... It just stopped beeing useful. I tried Hydroxycut for 2 mos after that, and that just made me feel over caffeineated and jittery. Finally i found one that i liked, Slim10. The thing thats good about this is that it helps control my appetite and doesn[t make me feel weird. I'm eating Kashi go lean cereal for breakfast, a big wendys salad for lunch, and a South Beach Diet dinner plus a 100 calorie snack pack of cookies. Ive lost 26 lbs in 3 mos and the pill shows no sign of quitting on me.

camy: I wouldnt advise my worst enemy to take Adipex! I am reading nothing but the short term progress you all have made. Has anyone thought about the LONG TERM side effects? I took Adipex in 1992 and then again for the year 1995 with exceptional results!( 100 lb loss). 11 years later i was diagnosed with Pulmonary Hypertention ang given a grave prognosis.I will probably die within the next year. THERE IS NO CURE. Altho not proven, I'm sure Adipex caused my illness. Phetermine is the second ingredient in the Phen-fen and Redux. Research Pulmonary Hypertention........Believe me, its no way to live while waiting to die.

elaine: adipex is great short term, then seems to lose its effectiveness.

christina: I started taking adipex in June 2007 and as of today, I have lost a total of 75 lbs. I HAVE NOT GAINED 1 LB. BACK!! This is the best thing I have ever done from my health. If you really want to lose weight, you have to work at it. For those who say they gained the weight right back, you also need to permanantly change your lifestyle and your eating habits! I was a size 20 in June 2007 and now I am a size 8-10 in April 2009. I feel wonderful! I look awesome and have so much more energy, I can breath, jog and do whatever else I want to because I took the time to listen to my doctor. I would recomend this pill to anyone who needs to lose a lot of weight. The side effect are less of the risk than being obese.

Laurie: It looks as though Adipex has worked for some people but it was a nightmare for me. Yes, it controlled my appetite but the negative side effects far outweighed the benefits. Dizziness, insomnia, racing heart and trouble breathing were amongst the worst. I even went to the hospital emergency room after taking Adipex for 11 days due to breathing difficulties. I stopped taking it that day and did not start feeling better until approximately 10 days later. This is the worst diet pill I have ever taken. Please be cautious if you decide to take this one.

Charlie: For those that are having issues sleeping at night, what time are you taking Adipex? My Dr prescribed me with the full dose and it says to take it in the morning before breakfast, once a day. If you are taking it early morning, meaning 6-7am, you are still having issues sleeping? And for those not having these sleeping issues, what are you doing differently than everyone else. I know everyone is different. But are you working out a couple of hours (and how long if so) before you go to bed to work off any remaining Adipex in your system? I have two young kids so loosing any more sleep won

Terri: I took Adipex after a friend had sucess with it, I did loose weight fast and didn't want to eat anything but I felt like my heart was coming out of my chest. I was so scared one night I woke my husband up and told him to watch me I was affraid I was having a heart attack. This was in 06 I did loose 40lbs but of course like any quick fix diet I gained it all back and still wake up at night sometimes with my heart beating out of my chest, I hope it has not caused me long term heart problems. I would never take it again it's not worth your life.

Jodi: I have read most of these posts and just had to shake my head at most of them. If people would just take a little time and research the drug, then they would understand why things happen the way that they do when taking adipex. Adipex affects chemicals in the brain and helps curb your appetite. It is similar to over the counter appetite suppresants, but it is not a water pill as I read in many posts. You do not gain weight by drinking water with this pill. In fact, drinking water speeds up matabolism. This is a fact that most people do not know. This medication makes you thirsty, and yes you are supposed to drink lots of water with it. It is also known to be addictive. That is why you are not supposed to take it for more than a few months at a time. Normally, a doctor will prescribe it for 2-3 months and then off for a month or two. Your body does get "immune" to any drug that you take on a regular basis. One post I read actually said that she took more than one pill a day. This lady is trying to kill herself. This will lead to abnormal heart rate and increased blood pressure. those that are just taking the pill without a change in diet and exercise are just setting themselves up to fail. You cannot go to McDonalds and sit on the couch all day and expect to keep weight off. Think sensibly people! I have been on the medication for about 6 weeks, and have lost 15 lbs. It is not a lot, but I have also realized I was not eating enough calories in a day. That can have the same effect that eating too much has. If the body does not get enough food to survive on, it goes into a hybernation mode. Not only does it not burn calorie, it starts to break down the muscle that you do have to get energy. This is all true.... it is information that you learn in any basic anatomy class. Good luck to all of you. And believe in yourself.

Manda: Thank You Jodi! I just started taking Adipex and love it! I was injured in the military about 8 years ago, since then depression and obesity have taken over my life. Every morning I was drinking 3 cups of coffee just to get out of bed, not to mention the countless soda I would drink. So if I went a day without caffeine I had a horrible head ache and was a complete bear to be around. Immediately after taking Adipex I noticed a huge difference.... I didn't need caffeine. Didn't even make a pot of coffee. The side effects of Adipex are nothing compared to what type 1 obesity can lead to or even the side effects of caffeine. And yes I am changing my eating habits and exercising. But in truth I am more myself today than I have been in 8 years! My advice for those who are having problems with the drug, talk to your doctor. Are you being honest to him? To yourself? Only you can change your life, there are no miracle pills. Just those that can jump start a change that has to already be in your mindset. God Bless and good luck to all of you who want to change your lives!

Monica: I started taking Adipex 8 weeks ago. I have lost 22 lbs. During those 8 weeks I was only taking half a pill everyday. The only side effect I have had is dry mouth. I am now taking a full dose (one pill) still first thing in the morning. Even if I accidently forget to take it one day, I do not get my regular appetite back. I do not have trouble sleeping probably because I take it at 6am and usually go to bed at 11pm. I would suggest starting with the half dose first for anyone who is concerned about the side effects. Once you body gets acclimates it's self to the medicine, taking a full dose did not create any issues for me.

Alicia: I guess this pill works differently in everyone. I started taking Adipex in Nov 08 I was told to take only half a pill becuase Im not obese just a little over a healthy wieght for my hieght. Im 5 1 and at the time wieghed 142 lbs I lost 15 lbs in two weeks no exercise at all. I had the big rush of energy very little appetite but I also had the insomnia so I stoped taking it just to go to sleep at night and stay asleep. Now that its June 09 I have put on 9 lbs because I eat poorly anyway so Im on it agiain. Im experiencing the insomnia agiain but Im dealing with it. For my husband it had no effect at all he took a whole pill and still had a hefty appetite slept just fine and really didnt lose any wieght.

Dannielle: I started taking the generic brand of Adipex on 05/2/09. It is now 6/5/09 and I has lost 11 lbs. I am age 25, 5'0, and started out at 163. This pill really works. I go to the gym 5 time a week and do cardio for 30-50 mintues. I have not had any bad side effects other then a little dry mouth, which causes me to drink alot of water so, i guess that's a good thing. I do not eat as much as I use and if I'm not hungry. When I know it's time to eat a meal and I'm feeling hungry I drink a meal suppliment drink and I'm ok. I have tried alot of pill in the past, but this one actually got me the results I was looking for. I will follow up in 30 days with my next wiegh in results.

Adipex®

Adipex-P®, more commonly known as just Adipex, is the brand name for the prescription drug Phentermine Hydrochloride. This drug is most often prescribed as an appetite suppressant. However, it has been linked to a fair amount of controversy. It was one of two active ingredients in the once popular Fen-Phen, which is now banned from the United States after causing heat valve failure in a number of users. While Phentermine itself is still available for use, there are still a number of consumers and medical professionals who are leery of this medication.

Nonetheless, we will still take a closer look at Adipex-P® to determine what type of benefits it may be able to provide to a consumer looking for a weight loss aid. As with all prescription drugs, a doctor’s express permission is necessary in order to obtain some of this medication.

 Drug at a Glance
Adipex-P® is manufactured by Gate Pharmaceuticals, and as mentioned above, it is a brand name for the generic form of Phentermine. Other brand names of this generic drug include: Fastin, Ionamin, Obenix, Obephen, Oby-Cap, Oby-Trim, Panshape M, Phentercot, Phentride, Pro-Fast HS, Pro-Fast SA, Pro-Fast SR, Teramine and Zantryl.

This medication is often only prescribed for short-term use, as it has been shown to be addictive. In fact, it’s quite common for users of this medication to experience withdrawal symptoms even after using it for just a short while.

 Drug in Focus
Adipex-P® is classified as an amphetamine stimulant, which affects the central nervous system. As mentioned, above this drug is prescribed as an appetite suppressant, but usually only to people who are extremely obese and need to lose weight quickly due to health concerns.

We do want to note that many health professionals warn consumers against combining this drug with any other diet medication due to the effect Fen-Phen had on the body. For example, if used with Redux, it may cause a rare fatal lung disorder called pulmonary hypertension. This is why consumers require a doctor’s advice if wanting to take Adipex-P® while on other medications.

As with most prescription drugs, there are associated side effects linked to Adipex® and Phentermine that some potential users may experience. The most common side effects include: headaches, nervousness, dizziness, insomnia, dry mouth, constipation and itching. The manufacturer advises consumers to discontinue use and immediately call their doctor if experiencing the following, more serious side effects: chest pain, swelling in the ankles, fast or uneven heartbeat, unusual thoughts or behaviors, feeling confused or restless and increased blood pressure.

 Consumer Reviews
There are a fair amount of consumer reviews for this medication to be found online. It appears that a high number of these reviewers experienced some of the unwanted side effects associated with this medication. There were also some reviewers that noted that since this drug is only prescribed for short-term use, it is not a long-term solution to weight loss. The overall feedback for Adipex® was not necessarily positive, as many reviews recommended that dieters continue their weight loss aid search.

 Positives
• Said to suppress the appetite
• May be found in generic form


 Negatives
• Medication may be expensive
• Only available for short-term use
• Drug has associated side effects
• Negative reviews posted online in regards to the side effects associated with this drug
• Drug is classified as a stimulant and is only available via prescription


 Final Thoughts
In the end, people who are interested in Adipex-P® or another brand version will have to speak to their physician. Most doctors will not prescribe such medications unless the person is morbidly obese. Of course, a prescription drug is not the weight loss answer for many consumers, especially when only used short-term. Fortunately, there are a number of natural formulations on the market that are designed to aid with weight loss. We suggest interested consumers look for a product that contains the proven Hoodia Gordonii, which has been shown in clinical studies to suppress the appetite.
