Overview

Adipex is a medication with the active ingredient of phentermine. Phentermine is commonly used as a diet pill because of its ability to suppress the appetite and stimulate the body's metabolism. In this sense, it works similarly to amphetamines. Because of its extreme potency, Adipex diet pills are only available via prescription. Attempting to buy Adipex without a prescription can result in doing business with less than reputable establishments.

Step 1

Visit a physician. Adipex is only available with a prescription, which means that you will need to see a licensed physician. It is best if you have seen this doctor before, because many physicians will become suspicious if a patient asks for prescription diet pills on the first visit.

Step 2

Get the physician to prescribe Adipex. Because Adipex diet pills are used to help with weight loss, you need to give your physician a complete weight loss plan that includes diet pills as part of the plan. It will help if you are significantly overweight and have weight-related health risks (though you will also need to have a healthy heart).

Step 3

Take the prescription to a pharmacy. Even if you choose not to have your prescription filled there, it can serve as a useful reference point as to how much it costs to get your Adipex locally.

Step 4

Look online. There are a variety of online pharmacies that sell Adipex, such as legalmedsdirect.com. Although these online pharmacies can be less reliable, they also can be much less expensive. The ones that operate legally will need proof of your prescription before they will fill your order, so you will need to either fax them a copy or have your physician contact them.

Tips and Warnings

  • Take Adipex with a full glass of water and on an empty stomach. It is important to take Adipex caplets whole, instead of chewing or crushing them. Adipex works best when used as part of an overall weight loss program that includes diet and exercise. Adipex should only be used for a few weeks at a time.
  • Taking Adipex along with certain other diet medications, such as fenfluramine (also known as Phen-Fen) and dexfenfluramine (commonly called Redux) can cause pulmonary hypertension, which is a fatal lung disease. Taking Adipex can impair your reflexes and thinking. Adipex can also be habit forming. People who stop taking Adipex may suffer from withdrawal symptoms.
