Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below If im working out in the morning, ill take a 37.5 mg tab. I use it for 2 week periods every now and then when i train my lagging body parts. However, the rest of the day I feel incredibly depressed and unmotivated to do anything. I know how it works and so forth, with the mind and dopamine levels, but to this degree? Anyone else experience similar effects after their workouts? While Im on the subject, what would you guys recommend that could be used in place on phentermine without such a bad crash, aside from Eca?
Great Workouts on Phentermine...But

Yup. In fact, Phentermine made me too miserable to work out. Killed my appetite stone dead, but forget about doing any kind of lifting or cardio on it... I think the word is "malaise".
You may simply be taking too much at once, which means levels of the drug - and the neurotransmitters it affects - peak high and fall far. Try splitting the 37.5mg tabs in half, and either have one half upon waking, and the other half several hours later, or only one half dose per day.
I never understood why people said the drug had abuse potential; it got to a point where if I took it for more than a few days straight, even in small doses, I got really psychotic and depressed, and felt so much better off it than on.
In terms of a substitute, depends on what you're looking for. Do you want a workout aid, or something that kills your appetite? NYC (norephedrine/yohimbine/caffiene) is a bit of both. 5-HTP plus r-ALA induce a sense of well-being, and although they don't give you a buzz, they supress the appetite remarkably well. R-ALA will also help increase glycogen storage, which will in turn help your workouts. You may also want to look into L-Tyrosine or L-Phenylalanine; these are precursors to the neurotransmitters that Phentermine depletes.
Great feedback, I really appreciate it. Yep, Im going to discontinue using it even though I get great workouts on it (almost as great as on Adderal) but the crash afterwards is not worth it. What I like about it as opposed to Eca is that it gets my mind really focused also aside from the physical stimulating aspect... Not worth it though. And yea, I was using it for a workout aid, not strictly for weight loss.
I agree but then I have never tried Ritalin (Methylphenidate). So maybe it is?
Adderall is actually made up of a combination of amphetamines:
Dextroamphetamine Saccharate
Amphetamine Aspartate
Dextroamphetamine Sulfate USP
Amphetamine Sulfate USP
It is most often perscribed for the treatment of narcolepsy and ADHD (attention-deficit disorder with hyperactivity).
