phentermine

2092846 tn?1332978512 Phentermine is associated with modest weight loss in some people, but not in everyone. And as with all weight loss medications, once a person discontinues the medication, the weight tends to come back.
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 f tn d never recommend phentermine, even though it does work for weight loss. The problem is that when people stop taking it, they almost always gain back everything they lost, plus some.
Avatar f tn You just started yesterday? Wow...I took my first today of the phentermine 30mg. I was told they would mail me the lipo b injections since the clinic is so far from where I live. I am totally not used to the phentermine and am having trouble sleeping. I have eaten far less today than I usually do. I have not been hungry at all. So it's definately working. Could some of the loss you experienced be water? The doc I went to said that can happen.
494656 tn?1209640771 Find a weight loss doctor in your area to prescribe it for you. Search weight loss clinics for you area, or bariatric doctors, etc. That is how I found a doc close to me..... Those are not drugs you need to be buying online, especially since you don't know what the real thing looks like or how it affects you.

Avatar m tn Hi, Drugs for weight loss cannot be taken for an unlimited period of time and need to be taken under medical supervision. Depending on your hormonal levels, the metforim should help with the PCOS. Weight loss can be achieved by a combination of dietary control and exercise. Hope this helps.
Avatar n tn m curious why more studies have not been conducted to study the correlation between phentermine and acne? Acne is not listed as a possible side effect of phentermine, but phentermine is considered a methamphetamine; methamphetamines are known to causes acne. I am a biology teacher and am frustrated that medical professionals are not confirming the overwhelming reports of acne being associated with phentermine. Is it a conspiracy????
Avatar f tn I am guessing that you see two different doctors. One for weight loss and one for your ADHD/anxiety. I say this because Basically phentermine is a stimulant (works like adderall), but works differently then adderall. I am not sure you should be taking it with adderall. "Phentermine use is containdicated in those who are: Taking amphetamine (i.e. Adderall, Dexedrine, Vyvanse), in the last 14 days" This quote is from - http://en.wikipedia.
877371 tn?1240237527 Personally, I would be concerned with phentermine alone, let alone in combination with the other medications. Studies show that successful weight loss usually involves a lifestyle change that involves better and more nutritional food choices. Any weight that may be lost while taking phentermine or other "diet pills" has not been approved as a safe way to lose weight and research shows that weight is normally regained and usually in excess from where a person began.
Avatar n tn Widely hailed as the "wonder pill" of weight loss, this is one of the oldest and most commonly prescribed of this type of medication. Developed in the 1950's, it gained approval from the FDA in 1959 as a short term slimming aid, and has been used by thousands of dieters in the last 45 years.
Avatar f tn d say your weight loss is due more to your diet/exercise change than to the B12/phentermine....... as I said before, I take weekly B12 shots and they do nothing for weight loss. 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 f tn Hi does anyone know of a weight loss clinic in Houston that will prescribe phentermine. I am 5'3 and i have recently gained 10 lbs and now I weigh 143 lbs..I went to a weight loss clinic that I went to a couple of years ago to lose wight, but they will not prescrie it to me, the say that I am not overweight enough. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Avatar f tn I have increased my exercise on my Elliptical (30-60min/day) and started to eat healthier. How long does it take for phentermine to kick in? Any advice? Anything I should say to my physcian?
Avatar n tn Synthroid is a "Pregnancy Category A." Which is safer than Tylenol (which is a "B"). But you should always confirm all medications with your doctor. Are you on Synthroid for thyroid issues or weight loss? He'd probably keep you on for thyroid problems, but with pregnancy, weight loss isn't safe.
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 f tn Crying all the time with panic attacks and scared feelings as well as sleeping issues. I got mine from a weight loss clinic who explained to me it is not the phentermine causing any of this. I feel like a different person snapping at my family who tells me I am different now also. DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW LONG IT CAN LAST? Am I crazy did anyone else experience any of these issues.
Avatar f tn 7 and lost three pounds the first two weeks then two for the next two then i stopped and continued on my own becuase after a while your weight loss gradually stops and you have to work out more intensively. although once off the pills you tend to binge but be strong..
944631 tn?1246280052 Metformin is a glucose lowering drug, phentermine is for weight loss and dicyclomine is for irritable bowel. You need to ask this doctor if he has run a glucose test on you and if he has determined that you are diabetic. I am a diabetic and I take metformin...if you are NOT a diabetic, ask the doctor why he has put you on metformin!! Metformin will lower your blood sugar and you need to be informed about possible hypoglycemic events...call your doctor now! Please let us know what he says...
927140 tn?1244210051 Phentermine is for weight loss and not many Doctors prescribe it which is why I am wondering why yours has. Either way...dont take the Celexa and Synthroid together at the same time. Synthroid must be taken on its own with water and then the other meds at least an hour later. I take a heart med first thing in the morning then my T4 med an hour later as sill me decided one morning to take them together and I felt as if I was walking on the moon!
Avatar f tn Finally, a few months ago I found this forum and I heard about a prescription weight loss pill, phentermine 37.5 mg. I read so many comments from people that had such great results that I decided to do some research on it myself. After I did my research, I decided to give it a try. Im soooo glad I did! I started taking phentermine 37.5 mg in the first week of February 2008 and I have already lost 20 pounds!!!!
Avatar m tn 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. Laxative. o Diazepam (Diacepam) 8 mg. A depressant (Valium). And the Phentermine that I take later at lunch is of the brand Acxion. Is this dangerous?
