Weight Loss |

The active ingredient in the
Adipex capsules is the chemical phentermine.
Phentermine affects neurotransmitters in the brain.
It stimulates selected nerve bundles to release
chemicals that act as neurotransmitters. Those
chemicals-- dopamine, epinephrine and
norepinephrine—are called catecholamines. The
release of those catecholamines results in a
suppressed appetite.
Catecholamines are produced naturally in the body
during times of stress, during an emergency. At such
times, the body wants the mind and muscles to
concentrate on the emergency. The mind and muscles
should not be bothered with hunger pains during an
emergency. That is why the release of catecholamines
suppresses the appetite.
Now the amount of phentermine in an Adipex capsule,
typically 37.5 mg, does not put the body in a
condition similar to that which it exhibits at times
of stress. Adipex use has a more muted effect.
Still, even that muted effect can trigger a
suppressed appetite.
Adipex capsules are most effective if they are taken
on an empty or nearly empty stomach. Adipex should
be ingested either before breakfast or 2 hours after
breakfast.
Adipex may not remain effective during a prolonged
use. Research suggests that Adipex will show a
decreased effectiveness, when it has been used for
more than 12 weeks.
Apparently the body does not want to have even a
mild-like stress affecting it physiology for a long
time. The body’s natural response to stress is
short-lived, and it seems that the body’s response
to Adipex also has a limited lifetime.
Because Adipex makers are aware of that fact, they
offer lots of information on ways to stay at a
reasonable weight.
