Avatar n tn I used these pills back in 2004 and they worked fine but seem to be working different on me this time around.Please help,does anyone else have these side effects or has had them while on phentermine? I should add these pills were RX from the fat doctor in my area.
897541 tn?1241719557 I have had depression in my past and it runs in my family. I havent been on medication for 3 years and have been fine. Ever since I started phentermine my depression has come back. Also I have been experiencing shortness of breath and my heart has been beating really fast. I just thought this was normal with the side effects of the phentermine but read that if I was experiencing these symptoms to contact my doctor. They are condidered SEVERE side effects.
Avatar n tn Hi, Phenteramine can cause neurological and psychological side effects like hallucinations, dizziness, depression, tremors, overactive reflexes, blurred vision, panic and restlessness. Multifocal motor neuropathy is not seen after the use of phenteramine. http://en.wikipedia.
Avatar n tn On the other hand, it can sometimes cause drowsiness,and you should not drive until you know if it affects you in this way. Other side-effects often reported are mood changes, most of which are transient and disappear after a few days. You should also be aware that Phentermine interacts with many prescription drugs, and it is important to inform your doctor about any medication you are taking or intend to take.
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.
729886 tn?1232662881 In the beginning I had some minor side effects like dry mouth loss of hunger, lots of energy. My firend had the same side effects but also developed insomnia. I thought she was crazy but after a while I developed insomnia and also had some chest pain and numbness in feet. Shortly after taking the pills I had a pulmonary embolism. Which is a blood colt in my lung. The doctors said that they have no idea how i could have developed it. So be very careful.
Avatar n tn if you have a lap band why are you taking a dangerous and addictive weight suppressant? Phentermine has many side effects that can be serious and dangerous including pulmonary hypertension and addiction. If you have had surgery to help weight loss you should be waaay past the point of using drugs.
Avatar f tn I am sorry, but please do not take any medications without asking your doctor first. Cymbalta increases the side effects of phentermine causes more anxiety, stress, restlessness, and a serious condition called serotonin syndrome. Please discuss with your doctor before starting any medication with Cymbalta. Take care! The medical advice given should not be considered a substitute for medical care provided by a doctor who can examine you.
Avatar n tn I strongly recommend against taking phentermine. It unfortunately is only mildly effective, and the effect goes away when you stop taking it. I'm also concerned about potential side effects and health risks related to it. You might find it helpful to see a nutritionist or dietician to discuss your typical food day to see where you might be able to start making some changes!
Avatar f tn If you are receiving too much of this medication it can have serious side effects. Levothyroxine (synthroid) takes time to build up into your system which is why you may have felt okay on it initially. I would suggest that you contact a medical professional. Any chest pain is serious. I would urge you to go to Urgent Care and have your symptoms evaluated. Make sure you take ALL the medications and Vitamins you care currently taking with you.
Avatar f tn I suggest you be very careful with phentermine, it is very similar to the chemical makeup of methamphetamine. The side effects of high dose or extended use are similar to amphetamine. This drug can blow out your adrenal glands, make you grind teeth until they rot, cause nervous ticks. When amphetamines were more regulated to sell as diet aids, phentermine started to be the main drug sold for hunger suppression. Be careful, people do get strung out on that drug.
Avatar f tn 8 Dexfenfluramine, fenfluramine, furazolidone, or MAOIs (eg, phenelzine) because the risk of serious side effects, such as increasing headache, high blood pressure, slow heart rate, elevated temperature, or possibly fatal lung problems, may be increased sorry cant be more helpful
1396756 tn?1283523477 This property generally results in an expanded side effect profile in comparison to a modern agent with a higher degree of selectivity. Some side effects will persist, while others will dissipate. This is highly individualized from person to person and cannot be forecasted in advance. If, after six weeks you have not noted an improvement (or if the side effect profile becomes intolerable), be sure to consult with the psychiatrist about alternative options. There are many, both old and new.
Avatar f tn I am not fully versed on the full range of possible side effects from the medication Phentermine. I would suggest perhaps having a conversation with your pharmacist and your prescribing physician about any symptoms that might be attributed to taking this medication. Best of luck in this regard and please be sure to visit our community and update us as to how you are feeling.

Avatar f tn What can I do to be rid of this extrordinarily distracting irritation?? Prednisone has so many side-effects, including weight gain, which is why I went on Phentermine in the first place. Can anyone please, please advise me?
Avatar n tn 5MG right before Christmas day 2010 and by December 26th, I started having problems with my left side and by December 28th my left side went completely numb and pain started shooting all over my head. By December 31st I was in the ER. I had all types of blood tests ran and a CAT Scan. I am now going through massage therapy to help with the tightness and swelling. My left side is still swollen and no DR's have been able to determine the cause.
Avatar f tn Apparently side effects will subside over two weeks when taking levothyroxine, or it could be that he's started you on to high a dose.

995335 tn?1251479506 I have been reading all these post about losing tons of weight with phentermine and B12 shots but I am wondering are there any negative side effects to phentermine & B12 shots? I have really been thinking about doing this for the last few months but I have been hesitant because I am unsure of the problems it could create/cause. Any of you out there have any personal experiences to tell?
481269 tn?1208280771 But, I do have 2 friends that mixed alcohol and phentermine and it was NOT a pretty site. It can increase some of the side effects of phentermine. It makes you have the ability to drink a lot more than you are used to, and it actually made both of my friends crazy in behavior.
Avatar f tn I guess I am afraid of diet pills after the ruckus with Phen-phen. I was assured Redux was VERY safe--no adverse side effects I have since learned I have pul. Hypertension and 3 damaged heart valves.This causes depression when I think about it. I was a hospice nurse. I am on Wellbutrin among others. I have NO desire to eat. I simply eat to live. Keep in touch. Blessings and prayer.
Avatar n tn Though rare, euphoria can be a side effect of Adipex-P® (Phentermine). Similar to amphetamines, phentermine increases the release of norepinephrine and dopamine from nerve terminals that can cause the “calming effect” you're describing. It could also simply just be that you're feeling better with the weight loss and therefore in a better mood.
410475 tn?1262942367 Have you tried weight watchers? Phentemine is not a drug of choice anymore for weight loss as it has many side effects....good ole exercise and counting calories works....and gaining a pound or 2 a day is not normal...you could have an underlying condition causing you to retain fluid...get it checked out...or maybe you were exaggerating!
