Avatar f tn Hello, I have Hypothyroidism and have been trying to lose 10lbs for the past couple of years, I spoke to a pharmacist and she suggested I ask my doctor for Phentermine. Has anyone tried this before and is it safe with taking Amour Thyroid 180mg. I'm 5'8" and weigh 152 and want to be 143, I work out 6x's a week cardio for 45-60 mins. and every other day 30 mins weight lifting.
Avatar n tn I have been taking Phentermine 37.5 and synthroid .088 for about 4 months now. I just found out a few days ago I am pregnant. I figured I should stop taking the Phentermine but I didn't know if it would have any effects on the baby already. Also I did not know if I can continue to take the synthroid?
Avatar f tn I have regularly been checked for thyroid and diabetes. I do take medication for bipolar disorder and manic depression. Neither of these drugs are supposed to cause weight gain either. Phentermine is a stimulant/appetite suppressant. I am going to try liposage slim wrap this week and see if that helps.
Avatar n tn Is it OK to use phentermine and levothyroxine together? If not what diet medications are safe to use with levothyroxine? I suffer with such low energy, even though my levels are good.
579324 tn?1276054274 i would like to know if there is any reason why i should not take methimazole and phentermine at the same time and/or if the phentermine could possibly cause my hyperactive thyroidism to return.
Avatar f tn There are no listed interactions with Phentermine and Synthroid however i would check with a pharmacist if you do not want to talk to your doctor.
Avatar f tn Yes, I have been tested for both high and low thyroid, and all were within normal levels. (2 doctors checked) I do not have diabetes and I too feel like the calorie (or lack of) is an issue but I just expected something to work by now. I just am at a loss. She renewed my RX for phentermine... the last one supposedly as it can only be given for 3 months. Some people said tonight I looked like I had lost but the clothes and the scale do not say the same.
Avatar m tn A doctor prescribed me a combo of Redotex in the morning and 30mg Phentermine HCl at lunch (for weight loss). Is it dangerous? These are the active ingredients of Redotex: o Tri iodothyronine (Triyodotironina) 75 mcg. A hormone used to increase the metabolic rate of tissues. o Norpseudoephedrine (Clorhidrato de D Norseudoefedrina) 50 mg. An amphetamine like drug. o Atropine sulfate (Sulfato de Atropina) 0.36 mg. Used as a respiratory and circulatory stimulant. o Aloin (Aloina) 16.2 mg.
Avatar f tn I had my thyroid removed years ago. I only had one side that develop and a goiter formed and it was removed. Tonight I had to go to the hospital due to rapid heart beat, when I got there my blood pressure was high 200/180 and my heart rate was 210. I told them that the doctor put me on a diet medication and I had lost 33 pounds in a month. They tried to get blood from me and they could not get any it took ten tries. Teat was ran and they said my thyriod was to high my dose is 0.
Avatar n tn This happened to my daughter, all her tests came back ok but then we discovered a year later that her thyroid was borderline for being overactive and she was left for a year, in the meantime all her symptoms which match yours got steadily worse, she lost weight and was admitted in with a fast heartrate and there it was discovered she had and overactive thyroid which cos was left untreated had turned to hyper, she has had treatment and is on the mend.
Avatar n tn yes, I was taking levothyroxine and had the same issues. I switched to dessicated thyroid (thyroid NP or Armour) and have not had the problem since. Google them and you will find a lot of info or check out *************************....good luck!
Avatar f tn My doctors suggest that I take Phentermine but im taking levothyroxine 88mg and Cytomel 5mg due to thyroidectomy 3 years ago and I have gain weight due to hypothyroidism. Have anyone tried the phentermine while on levothyroxine and Cytomel?
927140 tn?1244210051 I think all of you should understand the difference between weight gain or loss from thyroid meds and the difference in how phentermine works before giving any information...most thyroid meds DO NOT HELP WITH WEIGHT LOSS...IF IT DID..THERE WOULD BE NO NEED FOR THE LATTER....THYROID MEDS ARE NOT FOR WEIGHT LOSS....AND IF YOU THINK IT IS...DO YOUR RESEARCH WITH A QUALIFIED DOCTOR!!! NOT JUST A PILL PUSHER....IT WONT HAPPEN!!!!
2010625 tn?1329372056 I was just wondering if anyone knew if bipolar disorder and thyroid problems can be related?
Avatar f tn One of my kids has taken phentermine and it did help a little. However she has just this week learned she has hypothyroidism and that may be another reason her metabolism is sluggish. She is now on thyroid medicine and hoping it may be somewhat helpful in the big picture. Wish I could be more helpful. I hope you get answers soon. Good luck!

I also have mitro valve prolapes sence i was 6 yrs old I dont know what causing this my husband says i am fine give the meds time to work but i am scared that I have a heart problem or a turmor. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!
Avatar f tn I also have a hyper thyroid and it took me and my husband about two years to conceive! This is baby #2 now . I hope this pregnancy goes good for you & I'll keep you in my prayers. Set up an apt asap & let them know about your thyroid . I didn't get treated any different just got watched & I was very fatigue and tired.
Avatar m tn In the space of about 1 month I lost half a stone for no apparent reason, so I turned to the internet to look for reasons why this might be. Overactive thyroid is one of the things I came across so I looked into it more and some of the symptoms ring a bell; Mood swings, Sweating, Tiredness, weight loss regardless of increased appetite, sleeping poorly, shaky hands (sometimes) and that my heart occasionally feels like it skips a beat.
737114 tn?1232035410 I have been taking phentermine on and off for almost 15 years, I have never needed it for weight loss only the amazing energy it gave me, I know it is a little late to decide they probably are doing my health no good at all but hey, better late than never. I have tried hundreds of times to stop taking them but the chronic fatigue I get keeps me going back.
20813548 tn?1519654796 I am within my first week of taking phentermine. Will the cheat tightening and sleeplessness ease up in the next week or two? I am on the lowest dose, 15mg.
Avatar f tn i was just diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and the dr.s told me that that was my magor reason why i coudnt get pregnant,now they just gave propanolol 20mg i want to know if this medication helps my thyroid hormones in its level it sopost to be and if it can help me get pregnant?
Avatar f tn Awareness of your heartbeat is termed as palpitation and it can be due to hyperthyroidism( overactive thyroid), arrhythmias (altered electrical system of the heart), certain medications, heart failure, anemia and low blood sugar. It can be aggravated by exercise, fever, excessive alcohol consumption, smoking and dehydration. Anxiety, fear or stress can cause palpitations. You should consult your primary care physician for therapy. He will examine you and may ask for blood tests and an EKG.
