I started taking phentermine 2 days ago, 15mg (grey and yellow) 2x's a day. Dr. prescribed them, 45.00 at walmart for a month supply. They work great, I have to make myself eat...no appetite at all. I have read some info on getting B12 shots to go along with them. Does anyone know if you take the B12 vitamin is somewhat the same?

I have been taking Phen along with a perscribed water & potassium pill & the vitamin B shots for about 3 months now. The B shot gives you a major boost for about the first day 1/2. After that, it sort of evens out. I do take B complex pill about every other day, just to keep my energy level up. After taking Phen for a time, you kind of get used to the effects & thats why I need the occasional boost. At this point, I've lost about 20 lbs & am trying to wean myself from the Phen, as I really don't need to loose much more...maybe 5 lbs or so. (150 to 130.)
**Note: I've been on/off this for about 8 years now. You really DO need to slowly wean yourself from this drug! This allows you to keep eating healthfully, without really noticing that you're not taking as much Phen. If you just stop cold turkey, I've found that in about 2 days, I'm famished all day long & crave fatty foods again. When you get close to your goal weight, try to get the doctor to perscribe lower doses each time you visit.

Another note about vitamin B complex....It works wonders on avoiding hangovers!! Forget that expensive "Chaser" stuff. If you take a B complex before you go to bed after a night of drinking, you absolutely will not have a hangover. If has a metabolic-speeding effect, which means anything in your system will break down/digest faster, including alcohol. By the time you wake up, most of the alcohol will have metabolized & any leftover hangover effects will be very mild & end quickly!
