Medical Weight Loss
Phentermine helped before. What if it isn’t helping as much now?
It’s time to reassess the treatment with your provider. Don’t increase the dose on your own. Be specific about what has changed and when it started.
“Not helping” can describe different experiences:
- It never seemed to help.
- It helped at first, and now hunger has returned.
- Appetite is still lower, but weight has stopped changing.
- You stopped the medicine, and hunger returned afterward.
Tell us which experience you’re having and when it changed. Returning hunger and a weight plateau are not automatically the same problem.
More detail: continuing or changing treatment
Continuing a medicine is a clinical decision. Progress, required visits, side effects, health changes and other medicines all matter. A plan can change or stop when it is no longer helping enough or a safety concern develops.
