phentermine

198504 tn?1195158059 Hi, I can not drink caffeine while on phentermine. It just makes me more anxious (like I've had 20 cups of coffee). If I must have a cup, I drink it as the phen starts to wear off, but not much....like 4 oz. The phenetermine will make you jittery, cause sleeplessness etc., especially during the 1st 2 weeks of use. I think the energy drinks are not so good, either, and the diet red bull just tastes awful. You shouldn't need it with the phen.
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 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 n tn I'm in the process of switching to a new dentist and the new patient form I had to fill out asked "Have you ever taken any combination of the drug known as 'fen-phen'. This includes phentermine (Adipex, Fastin, etc) and/or fenfluramine (Pondimin)." What does it matter if I have taken this? I haven't taken fen-phen, but I have and do occasionally take phentermine?
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 f tn My dr. recently prescribed Metformin (500 mg 2x/day) and Phentermine (37.5 mg/day). I started the meds approximately a week ago. I was told the Phen would give me all of this energy and that the Metformin would keep me in the bathroom a lot until my body adjusted, but I have had neither really. The first couple of days on the Phen I had a boost of energy, which I loved, but it quickly faded. I am now constantly tired, no matter how much sleep I get.
Avatar f tn No its not the same, you have to be careful with ordering phentermine online, lots of places sell pills, but it is not phentermine, and its not the same either. Most places have similar spellings, such as phentramine, it kind of tricks people who do not pay attention.
Avatar f tn Has anyone experienced weight gain in the second week of phentermine and stopped losing after that? I started taking the phen pill 37.5mg and a B12shot two weeks ago, my doctor only gave me a 30day supply since he said its more for obese people than overweight people. Im 28yrs old, 5'3" and started the pill at 150lbs, the first week I went down to 145.1 by the second week I went back up to 146.3 does anyone know why im gaining?
Avatar f tn Since 2009 I have been taking 37.5 Phentermine pills consistently with minor breaks and recently my chest has been giving me trouble. Since last Sunday, my heart has been pounding with an elevated pulse so I decided to go to Primary physician. She performed and EKG which my results were normal but she wanted me to see a Cardiologist to be sure...

I really wanted to get to 140 so I can be at my normal weight for my height but seems impossible.
Avatar f tn Adipex is phentermine, a mild stimulant that was in the news some time ago for being half of 'fen-phen', a weight loss cocktail that caused heart valve damage. Nowadays you will see a great deal of talk online about 'phen-pro', a combination of phentermine and prozac that is used for weight loss.
Avatar m tn Not sure on the phentermine. I took phen two different times and never noticed a change in mood. but, it being a stimulant I would guess your mood should begin to recover in about 7-10 days. Of course for you to get back to 100%, may take up to 3 months. tell us, what are you doing different this time to prevent another relapse? As stated on here before, Nothing changes if nothing changes....
2208803 tn?1339152974 Actually phen contain more risk of cardiac attack. Do you have obesity problem? It is better to go for sugar supplement rather than phen.
551496 tn?1215614366 I have been taking Phentermine for 2 and a 1/2 months now. I started taking it in April almost on the same day as my period started. Almost one week after my period stopped another one began. So I made a dr appointment. The doctor done a pap and tested me for all the std's....and felt me for cist and everything came up normal....she said that starting the new medication was the possible reasoning for the 2 periods that month and to contact her if it continued.
Avatar m tn I decided to go to a local Weight Loss Clinic because I had already exhausted my options, and they prescribed 30mg of Phentermine as an appetite suppressant. I didn't really realize the risk of dependency or how powerful this drug could be. I went from 150 lbs to 140 lbs in about a month and have stayed there, although that isn't my ideal weight. However, I didn't want to become addicited or reliant on a Rx.
2208803 tn?1339152974 Hi, I'm new to the forum group, taking Phen.. I just starting going to the gym 2 twice a day on the treadmill.. When will I really see results with weight lost in my abdomen area, inches off arms, thighs, waist? How long does it usually take? Also, is anyone else still eating some sweets? I don't eat as much as I was 2 weeks ago, but I still have a craving for some...
459663 tn?1236000877 I took phen-fen for years the phen hypes you up!! big time ended with mitral valve prolapse from the drug combo!!! all this was given to me from my family doctor!!!!!!
Avatar n tn The closest I come is A 159 with matching shape and colors. It's phentermine, a type of speed used for weight loss (not effectively for long-term results). This was part of the controversial phen fen a few years ago. If you take enough of it, you could get a buzz off of it if that's what it is. R 59, on the other hand, is lorazepam, a benzo. You could get a buzz off that, too, very sedating relaxant.
Avatar n tn By May I gained 3lbs, and Phen-phen (30mg) was added to my regimen. By mid-June I gained another 2lbs, and my doctor took me off the Levothyroxine. I am seeing a nutritionist, still on the Phen-phen, and a daily Vitamin B shots. By July 23rd, gained 2.4 lbs; no longer on Levothyroxine, still seeing the nutritionists and I am back to being extremely fatigue, lightheaded, chronic itchness, and not focused(it seems as my brain and mouth are at a disconnect). My life has been turned outside down.
Avatar m tn when I thought something painfully,the allergic phen— become serious.Recently I find a kind of neurotransmitter called Histamine that probably be the main anaphylactogen.For this kind of compound could contribute to allergic phen— like hard to breathe,coughing,sneezing,tickling.For it is a kind of neurotransmitter,I think there must be some reasons that it is intensly related to mind.
Avatar f tn How much phentermine is too much? I took 8 (37.5) today all spaced out about 2 per 6 hours. I can't sleep and I am really thirsty but that seems to be about it. I just don't want to overdose.
Avatar m tn I have been taking Phentermine for almost 3 years now. Taking more than I should daily for the past year. I'm taking 3 sometimes 4 a day 37.5mg. The money and the secrects are really starting to affect my marriage. I have tried to stop a few times but panic sets in on day 3 or 4 and I just order them over the net.I'm always counting to see how many I have left so I will know when to order more and when I need to get the money. I hate the way I feel those few days when I tried to quit.
Avatar f tn Now after a week on phentermine they reappeared. I have stopped the phentermine and have been dosing on antihistamines hoping I do not have to go back to the allergist for the cyclosporin again. I will give it another week but then I head for the cure.

431644 tn?1236899573 Do any of you have a past use of Phen fen? I wonder if it could have caused me to have these attacks of SVT now? I used it for almost a year.
