phentermine

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.
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 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 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 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 In addition, buPROPion can increase the blood levels of amphetamine, which may increase other side effects." from - http://www.drugs.com/drug-interactions/adderall-with-contrave-190-1645-3559-16891.html So I think that you would want to be aware of any over medicated types of reactions. Another thought is that weight gain among adults with adhd is common due to (they think) lack of impulse control. If the Vyvanse can control this the Contrave might not be needed?
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 A heart attack is not the same for women as for men. Women get very little pain, malaise, nausea, and sometimes sweating. A mitral valve prolapse is a very common condition and could cause these symptoms. it wouldn't hurt to look into it.
Avatar n tn I have been taking Phentermine for about 3 weeks. I have been going to the gym daily 30-40. I watch what I eat. I mean I don't eat much and I still can't seem to lose weight. I am not hungry so I don't eat much What do o do to start losing weight. What am o doing wrong.
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 m tn I would like to when it is safe to take my adderall I took phentermine 21 hours ago should I wait 72 hours for the phentermine to get out of my system completley? I hate the phentermine ot was awefull I didn't sleep at all and I have a lot of wedding planning to do today please help...
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
Avatar f tn If I remember correctly, the problem with Xenical is not directly related to rhythm problems; it's to do with the side effects it has in the process of working. Many people will eat more than say the recommended 25% fat (can't remember the exact amount) and Xenical (orlistat) will "remove" the extra fat via loose stools; this in turn can sometimes cause problems because of this - in the form of dehydration - sound about right and familiar?
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 appt. I also took phentermine. Took it for 3 months, then on and off for 3 months. The swelling started probably about the 5th month after I had started taking it. I haven't had any numbness just sore on my gums. Any advise? I go to the dr. in 8 days.
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.
1397822 tn?1294279534 Hi my question I guess could be under the weight-loss forum too but is it possible to experience a better mood while taking the drug Phentermine? I have been taking it for about 5 or 6 months now and have noticed that I really feel much better taking it. I've gone maybe a few day's at a time missing it and then when I take it again I just feel so much better. I have lost around 30lbs so far. I must mention too that I'm also on 20mg of Citrophram for a little mood lifter as well.
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?
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!
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.
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 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?
824226 tn?1238634194 They have all gone away for the time being. The side effects that were most common for me were insomnia, irritability, lower libido, and some fatigue in the evenings. I am curious if you are not experiencing these side effects has it decreased your appetite like it is supposed to?
