I am about 6 weeks into my latest weight loss journey with phentermine (4 weeks before that on 15 mg did absolutely nothing, so I only count from when I started 30 mg).
I have PCOS and am perimenopausal, with PMDD and ADHD.
I stopped the Vyvanse I take for ADHD symptoms to try Phentermine for weight loss once my BMI crept into obese.
I was SO excited to finally start losing weight at about a pound a week while on this medication and counting carbs.
Well, luteal phase has been especially rough this month and in the past week I have gained ELEVEN POUNDS. This is everything I lost over the last 6 weeks plus more.
I know some of this is just water weight that will come off, but some of it is fat because I turn to sweets to drown my misery this last awful week of my cycle.
Feeling very physically uncomfortable today and quite discouraged. Anyone have wild swings like this and still end up overall successful losing weight?
I am considering quitting the Phentermine and going back on my vyvanse if I can’t lose weight anyway.
