Anybody have an experience with this pill that you can share with me before I go and purchase it?

Happy to report that Fenphedra doesn’t use a proprietary blend. That’s also an unusual pheonomenon in the diet pill industry. Kudos to them for staying transparent.

Fenphedra contains:

DiCaffeine Malate is a fancy caffeine. Fancy meaning that it has a Di in front of it and a Malate at the end (DiCaffeine Malate review here). There is no research supporting that it is any more effective than standard caffeine. Caffeine (caffeine review here) has been proven time and again to increase the metabolic rate so another version of caffeine being included in Fenphedra doesn’t surprise me at all. This ingredient passes the sniff test.
Chocamine is simply a fancy (trademarked) cocoa extra ingredient that also contains some amino acids and essential minerals. I reviewed Chocamine extensively and don’t like that the amounts of these various components aren’t disclosed. While the health benefits of cocoa are largely undisputed, Chocamine doesn’t give us the information we need to truly evaluate it. Neutral.
Phenylethylamine I’ve reviewed extensively. Research shows it is connected to feelings of well-being (there’s quite a bit of Phenylethylamine in chocolate). It is most likely included in Fenphedra to counteract the jitters that you would most likely feel from the DiCaffeine Malate and Synephrine.
Synephrine (Synephrine reviewed in depth here) has research to back up that it is, indeed, an effective stimulant. After ephedra was banned by the FDA diet pill makers scrambled to find an equivalent. They thought they had found it with Synephrine and, while Synephrine is effective, there is no research that points to ephedra and Synephrine being equatable.
Humulus Lupus is well-known in “folklore” medicine as having a calming effect. I found more information on it at Purdue University’s website, and an extensive amount written about it on encyclopedia.com (including references to actual studies — how rare). It is used to treat insomnia so it’s no surprise that it’s included in Fenphedra. Like Phenylethylamine (PEA), it appears to be a counter-agent to the stimulative effects of the caffeine, chocamine, and Synephrine.
