phentermine

Avatar f tn The last day Ive took the phetermine pill was approximately two weeks ago so I am not sure if my body is going through withdrawals and/or if I have cause heart damage due to the long-term use. If anyone have any sound advice please share...Truly scared of the possible damage I could have cause to my body and/or heart!
Avatar f tn Beanies are almost the same, but FDA regulation of amphetamine in the late 80's lead to a billions of dollar market wide open. In the 90's phentermine was sold as a replacement or substitute for amphetamines, but it really is so similar that they just changed it enough to get past the law. Clincial studies show that there are more heart conditions caused by phentermine than amphetamine, but it's hard for the Big Pharm to give up those billions of dollars.
Avatar f tn Hi. Congratulations on your pregnancy! So, glad you stopped phentermine. That's the right step. Remember that it washes out of your system when you do that. I found a link to give you that talks about it's use before you realize you are pregnant. There aren't a lot of studies, they say, however, the ones that exist does not suggest any link to usage when conceiving and in very early pregnancy with birth defects. https://www.healthline.
Avatar m tn The mg is 37.5 Phentermine. Is it ok to go cold turkey? Is it even possible? I have tried a few times without success panic sets in about the 3 or 4 day and I just re-order them. The cost and the things I do while taking them is starting to affect my marriage.
Avatar n tn t go in for my initial cleaning/consultation until next week and was just wondering what the issue was with dental care and phentermine usage. Any insight will be greatly appreciated as countless internet searches have left me as uninformed as when I began. Thank you in advance.
Business woman2 Losing weight that quickly is not safe and phentermine is not a long term solution. Both my daughter and her husband were on the phentermine for a while; they both lost fabulously, but within a month of going off it, they both gained back everything they'd lost, plus some. Both are now obese, where they weren't before; just overweight.
Avatar m tn You make a great point that weight loss medication like phentermine is not a long term weight loss solution. If you do go back to old habits, you might expect to gain back the weight that you lost. But the good news is that you're in a good starting place and you are still motivated to keep it going. Good luck! Dr. B www.theflexdiet.
Avatar n tn Many physicians are not comfortable prescribing multiple weight loss medications at the same time out of concern for increased risk of side effects. Also keep in mind that phentermine is not generally recommended in the long term. It may make more sense to just stick with one of the weight loss medications to see if there are any beneficial effects. It's also a good time to think carefully about how the weight loss occurred while on the new medication.
Avatar m tn darvocet is a weak narcotic with alot of tylenole in it...so liver problems are the most often side effect....4000 mgs of tylenol is the max dose per day..each darvacet has 650 mgs as a rule....r u taking them as prescribed?
737114 tn?1232035410 I am a nurse(36 yrs) in a family practice clinic and have seen long term amphetemine use affect thyroid function. You would be wise to go to your family physician and ask for a complete thyroid panel. If your thyroid is off it can add to the fatigue as well. God Bless and Good Luck!
Avatar m tn My question that has been difficult to find an answer to, relates to long term effects. I have not been able to find at least an approximate length of time or dosages that can lead to eventual liver cancer in the future. I am currently 26 years old, in relatively good shape physically, do not drink or have any other vices that may exacerbate the vicodin effects on my liver, but am still concerned.
Avatar n tn My body aches and im tired alot and i have been taking phentermine to help loose weight but i lost 10lbs and thats all.
Avatar m tn There's no evidence of long-term damage from their use, but no good studies, either. Theoretically, they can affect the liver, but I assume you're getting regular physicals to check that. On the other hand, you know what anxiety attacks do to your life, so stay on the Lexapro.
Avatar m tn Weight loss drugs often do not work, long term. Vitamin B12 does nothing for weight loss; except maybe give you more energy to exercise.
Avatar n tn Hi and welcome to the GERD forum. The meds u r asking about also known as protonix used for acid reflux and GERD.....will have side effects on some individuals.To know or understand what long term use could cause symptoms wise, ask ur pharmacist or dr. Since we all respond to meds differently it is very diff to say what long term use might do to u.....
Avatar n tn I have been taking Phentermine for about a week and I have a lot of red, ichy bumps (they look and are symptomic as mosquito bites generally behave). If I didn't know better I would think they were mosquito bites! They are contained on my torso, sides and back - these presented after about 3 days on Phentermine, and I cannot belive that I would end up with 30+ mosquito bites in one day - they all appeared overnight. Can this be a reaction to the Phentermine?
Avatar m tn t ever recommend pills for losing weight, because, even those that work, only work as long as you take them, and none of them are intended for long term use. Typically, as soon as the pills are discontinued, the weight comes back, unless you develop and maintain lifestyle changes that will support the weight loss. Best of luck.
Avatar m tn how long is too long? A few weeks, months, years? Thanks!
Avatar f tn Phentermine is an appetite suppressant. "After short-term use, tolerance begins and can be followed by rebound weight gain. Long term data for use of phentermine shows no net weight loss." Ummm. :) I wish i had an appetite to suppress lol. But there are many reasons for finding it hard to lose weight. Untreated hypothyroidism is one of them. For me it's severe insulin resistance. That insulin loves fat and never wants to let it go. Grrr.
Avatar n tn Doc fears I may need 2 shots a week and does not want to do that yet as he does not know what the long term effects could be if I need it for the next 40 weeks. What are the dangers or long term effects taking Neupogen at this rate, as I am anxious to continue treatment as I am a stage 3, 53 and showed early response.
