phentermine

Avatar f tn I take a half of 37.2 phentermine and .150 synthroid can that throw my TSH out of wack. Are you suppose to take these two together. What can it cause if anything?
1090984 tn?1463769850 My doctor put me on phentermine, I would prefer to cut them in half so I know how I will react to them first. He said I shouldn't. Does anyone else here take these and have you cut them in half?
1401296 tn?1280799533 Are you doing your own b-12 injections? I have not been able to get the nerve up to even try yet...The phentermine worked great the first week...seriously cut my eating in half, but this week doesn't seem to be doing much...I figured I could make them last six weeks if I didn't take them on the weekends. Probably not such a great idea.
Avatar n tn I too have done Phentermine (it is banned in canada now) and lost weight. You cannot be on it forever and your advice is bang on!! You do have to get up and move to burn calories. The food tracker in here is awesome!! It really makes you look where your food calories are coming from.
Avatar f tn The phentermine may help control your cravings/food intake, but how long can you take that, and what will happen when you stop it?
Avatar m tn Since being diagnosed I have started taking a half tablet of phentermine to control my appetite in an effort to lose weight. I also started taking birth control again. My doctor also prescribed taking metformin(glucophage) in addition to the phentermine and birth control. I have lost about 8 pounds in the last month since taking the phentermine but i dont feel like I am losing enough weight for how little i have been eating.
Avatar m tn t tell you what to do about the phentermine --- that would be a decision that you and your doctor should make together. I *can* tell you, however, that drugs are not the best way to lose weight; because, although you may lose weight on the phentermine, chances are great that you will gain it all back as soon as you stop the drug. I, too, would be hesitant to take a drug like that if I were just coming down from addictions like you are.
Avatar f tn I just started Phentermine 37.5mg last week. I haven't had a weigh in yet but I have noticed that I have cut way back on my food intake. I have talked with friends that have taken it in the past and they said that they got the best results when they combined it with a good, healthy diet and started exercising. That could be the jump start you need if you haven't started working out yet!
Avatar f tn Mine are small red dots primarily, though at the beginning, they were large. Typically now they vary in size, texture, etc. I went online to find out that, in fact, urticaria can be a serious side-effect of Phentermine. I went to my weight loss doctor, and he told me that my urticaria was stress-related. Even though it is a well-documented side-effect of Phentermine, my GP also stated that these hives were idiopathic and possibly stress-related, two diagnoses I can live without.
897541 tn?1241719557 I was taking phentermine for about a year and lost around 2 and a half stone. Felt great while I was on them but after I stopped taking them I sufferred some serious side effects such as depression, paranoia, panic attacks and palpitations. My hair also went very thin and my doctor said I wass uffering a mini-breakdown most probably caused by the diet pills. I was at uni at the time and had to take a year off as well as taking anti-depressants.
Avatar f tn I have never known a phentermine addict but it is addictive...if you are staying hyped all day then having to come down at night to sleep...you may need to take a look at it...it was banned from online pharmacies and must have been for good reason...it is for short term use...and just be careful with xanax...
Avatar m tn Going through day 3 again. The only thing I hate more than being addicted to phentermine is having to repeat days after another failed attempt. My body hurts and I'm not in a very good mood. does anyone no how long before your moods starts to get better?
Avatar f tn I know it sounds daft but he was told to try and eat a small handful of brazil nuts throughout the day they are a brill form of iron and they did seem to help. Hang in there you are doing really well. I wish you all the best for rest of tx.
Avatar f tn i had a VERY stressful/anxiety period over the past 5 days which caused me to be an emotional wreck, not sleeping well, heart beating fast at times. i cut my phentermine dose in half and totally went off my diet. i was also taking bactrim DS (antibiotic for possible UTI) which had a negative culture (but my urine showed trace blood and leukocytes) and no burning while urinating. just frequent urination which seems better now. DR is not concerned.
351317 tn?1204751871 The 10mg zyrtec is too strong for me so can I cut it in half and take 5mg instead?
Avatar f tn Stimulant (such as Phentermine) -induce hyper stimulation of pleasure pathways which can lead to depression and fatigue months after you stop using. It is possible that daily amino acids L-tyrosine and L-5HTP/tryptophan can help in your recovery by making it easier for the body to reverse the depletion of dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin. Eat healthy, stay away from simple sugars and sodas, take a multivitamin every day.
Avatar f tn Cut out trigger foods, cut back on sugar, cut out soda/pop/ fast food and processed foods. If you do just that, you will likely see an effect. Then add in some exercise. But phentermine tablets are stimulants. Pure and simple. Anyone with at heart issues are not recommended to ever take it. It's really a problematic substance for many people.

551496 tn?1215614366 I have been taking Phentermine for 2 and a 1/2 months now. I started taking it in April almost on the same day as my period started. Almost one week after my period stopped another one began. So I made a dr appointment. The doctor done a pap and tested me for all the std's....and felt me for cist and everything came up normal....she said that starting the new medication was the possible reasoning for the 2 periods that month and to contact her if it continued.

Avatar f tn I've had some suggestions to cut the pills in half, but I have capsules, not tablets and they cannot be cut in half. What should I do??
Avatar f tn I started the metformin at half the dosage since i am 13lbs lighter on friday night, today i am in severe abdominal pain, belching, horrible gas, nauseous, and vomiting which smells very acidic. Could this be too much ketones, or the medicine? My gallbladder is good, had (endoscopy and nuc med gastric emptying) was told i had mild gastritis due to reflux and mild gastroparisis. I have never felt this discomfort before.
Avatar f tn It's illegal now. It causes death. I recommend starting hCG injections. You can google "hcg diet in houston" and I'm sure you will find a place that can help you. This is much more safer and effective than phentermine. That is very dangerous to your heart and has been known to kill people that is why they won't sell / prescribe it to you.
Avatar f tn I have a hard time imagining how the phentermine would have caused the pain you are describing; the harm from phentermine occurred in people who took the drug for long periods of time, and in those cases it was thought to damage the heart valves-- and that would not cause the pain you are describing, rather requiring special imaging techniques to even find evidence that it has occurred. The panic attack may have been related, as all stimulants tend to increase anxiety.
Avatar f tn I realize this may sound strange but I was wondering if any of you have a "pill cutter" at home or do you just cut your pill in half with a knife? I am cutting down on the dose of my beta blocker per my Doctor and I was wondering if I have to purchase a pill cutter or can I just cut it with a knife or razor? I am a little anxious because you aren't supposed to "crush or chew" these pills and I'm afraid that if I cut it.......perhaps it will be crumbly.
429963 tn?1205437753 I was taking phentermine for weight loss, ordered over the internet, up until a year ago. It was after I stopped taking the drug that the onset of my bipolar symptoms became observable. Knowing that SSRI's can have this effect, I was wondering if the phentermine could have played a role in the onset of my disorder.
