Experience with phentermine?!?!?

At my appointment today, I only lost 4 pounds after two weeks on a calorie restricted liquid diet. My doctor filled me, and is starting me on phentermine. I have never taken this. Does it work? Is anyone else taking medication to help with band success?

    I used it years ago and I believe that it was the cause of my respratory issues I have today. It was known for that side effect especially if it was mixed with another drug and called phen phen. The two drugs work to take off the weight but the side effects were nasty. Even just the phentermine alone had side effects. As with most diet pills I gained the weight back as soon as I stopped the pill.
