I purchased this item with the idea that it was brand-name phentermine. If I understand correctly, phentermine is very similar to phendimetrazine. Since I have used prescription phendimetrazine (but not phentermine), MY REVIEW IS BASED UPON A COMPARISON TO PRESCRIPTION PHENDIMETRAZINE. I am NOT sure of this, but my understanding is that the only difference between phendimetrazine and phentermine (both prescription) is that phendimetrazine is taken 3 times daily and phentermine is taken once daily (in most cases).

I have been using Fastin, which used to be the brand name version of phentermine, for about four days now. On day 1, it suppressed my appetite quite effectively, and did, indeed, increase my energy. Over the course of the four days, however, the effectiveness has deteriorated to a very minimal effect.

I was previously on the Garcia diet, which is doctor-supervised. They dispensed prescription phendimetrazine. Their manual also listed phentermine as a drug that is used instead of phendimetrazine for some patients, so I am assuming that it is very similar to phendimetrazine. I cannot confirm this, however. The phendimetrazine that I used was extremely effective. It suppressed my appetite to the point where I almost didn't want to eat at all, and it boosted my energy to the point that I was ready to re-paint the sisteen chapel!

I did some research on the web and discovered the following:

Until 1998, Fastin was the brand-name version of phentermine (prescription), and phentermine was the generic, identical drug. In 1998, however, the company that was manufacturing Fastin stopped production. At some point, another company started manufacturing something completely different and used the same name (Fastin). Assuming that my information is accurate, this explains why some other reviewers have made comments like "Fastin is not what it used to be." It is apparently a valid statement, since it LITERALLY is not what it used to be.

IF phentermine is almost the same thing as phendimetrazine, then this Fastin sold through amazon is not even remotely close in its strength or effectiveness. In my opinion,it is not worth the price.

PROS:
It does help suppress appetite and boost energy, but it appears to lose its effectiveness after a few days of use.

I did not experience any problems with product freshness as reported by other reviewers. My tablets were properly sealed, and had no brown color. My pills were white with blue speckles.

CONS:

It only works well for a couple of days. After that, it helps suppress appetite somewhat, but nowhere close to the real thing.

Using the name of FASTIN is unethical and misleading, since Fastin used to be the brand-name version of prescription phentermine. This appears to be a blatant attempt to cheat the public

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING IF YOU PLAN TO PURHASE PHENTERMINE ONLINE:

If you see it offered without a prescription, CHECK THE SPELLING CAREFULLY! In each and every case where I have found it without a prescription requirement, there was a slight variation in the spelling. THIS WAS EVEN TRUE WHEN THE SPELLING WAS CORRECT AT FIRST, BUT WHEN YOU CLICK THE LINK TO PURCHASE THE PILLS, THE NAME CHANGES SPELLING TO SOMETHING ELSE. The changes in spelling are so subtle that it is very easy to not even notice the difference. Additionally, they often rate them with the exact same mg ratings (37.5 mg phenTRAmine, for example). Other examples that I have seen include phenterimine, phentramin-D, phenteramine, and phentirimine. If you search these names on webMD, you will only get results for the legitimate spelling (phentermine). You might, however, see LINKs under the search results with the invalid spellings.

If it isn't spelled exactly correct, it probably is not the real thing. Let the buyer beware!

I actually purchased this product with high doubt because after using the diet pill Alli i was skeptical about any diet pill. Because of Alli's horrible side effects and the toll it placed upon my stomach, i wanted to be very confident in another diet pill. I walked into my local GNC and the manager there recommended me Fastin. She told me of a woman who tried several diet pills and failed until she started consuming Fastin. This woman went from a size 16 to a 4. She also said i could return it if i did not enjoy the effects. All of this convinced me to purchase a bottle of Fastin. I am only on my third (not even full) day and i have lost four pounds. I don't feel any side effects (yet or may not even!). I currently love this product and recommend it to anyone. I also have a weak stomach and Fastin has not affected it negatively. I definitely recommend this product.

On my second bottle of Fastin and I went from 207 Lbs to 167 Lbs in 4 months. Read the side effects. I get the jitters about an hour after my first pill. I also get power surges of energy and because of that I get hot flashes. I'm a 34 yr old non-smoking, non-drinking white female. Just like anything this product may not work for everyone. But I love it. I have 15 more pounds till my goal weight. I feel healthier than ever. I have more energy to go out and enjoy the stuff I use to.

Back in the day fastin was a major thing. big time energy, zero appetite.
this fastin now.. well.. its like most any other over the counter pill for weight loss and/or energy.

true.. like it claims you don't get the jitters. but i have seen no appetite control or real energy boost coming from this products.

save your money and go to walmart and buy something cheaper.
i don't think these pills are worth 50 cents a piece.

This is a great product for reducing appetite and boosting metabolism. I have tried other products that gave me headaches also I've tried Ginny Craig, Curves, diet and exercise... This is the first thing to work for me and a co-worker. For me 15 lbs. in 2 months and for my co-worker 20 lbs and this is without exercise.

Ordered and paid as I was supposed to and received brownish yellow pills and they did not seem to curve appetite at all. Notified seller and he said send them back and I did at my expense. When I got confirmation that he had received them I had to ask when would I get my refund. At that time he stated that the bottles were open and he would not give me a refund. I told him when I ask him about the pills that they were yellowish/brown and he told me to go ahead and return them. All fastin is that way and we do not have any that will be satisfactory to you. When the product is made the coating is off white to begin with and in a matter of weeks from production the color becomes even more off white. This does not effect the product, it is just an issue with the coating.
Please include the original packaging slip with your return so we can process it correctly. We will email when we have your return.(Wrong I had to notify him)
My neighbors pills that she is taken are white and blue. I believe those pills are old. He ask if I wanted him to send them back, I told him yes. I will throw them away so he will not sell them to some other sucker. I have not as of today received them back. Sorry I do not know if I will every order from Amazon again. That was false information that he gave out. I will think long and hard before I order from Amazon again. That was $77.90 thrown away and I am very disappointed. I believe someone needs to stop this seller from ripping customers off.

I have two family members that are overwait,they used to have a hard time with their apetite.But with Fastin they take only one pill in the morning after having breakfast about 10am and then they have a lite lunch, they feel very energetic all day long ,and when it comes to dinner time they still have no apetite so they do not have any dinner and all they have is some bed time tea and go to sleep.They have lost allot of lbs and look and feel great-

Please save your money, this product does not work and the company the Natural Health Shoppe is selling diet pills that don't work which they will not refund. Any company selling diet pills that don't work, and won't offer a refund, should be questioned. This company is abusive and this product is just over-priced caffeine. If you want the jitters and nausea all day long this product will give you that, but don't expect to lose weight!

If you are looking for the older diet pill called 'Fastin' don't buy this one. It is just the same name. In fact, they bought the name and it has nothing to do with the original chemical make up. I called the company that makes it. After a couple of months, with a sealed bottleills, the tablets turned a dark brown and smell horrible. I threw it away. I will be reporting this to my congressmen and FDA that this company is misrepresenting what they are selling. Buyer beware. I also took one pill when I first bought it and it made me feel very weird. I was really worried about just taking the one pill.

i have taken fasten b4 and it was great, but they changed it and it totally sucks now thanks for nothing
