Phentermine Side Effects and Effectiveness? |
|---|---|
| I was at my doctor last week and mentioned to her that I'm getting married and trying to lose weight. Immediately she offered to prescribe me a drug called Phentermine, and recommended that if I use it at all, I should take it only as needed for appetite suppression (like half a pill every one or two days). I looked it up online, but I can't find any good reviews from people who are similar to me...
I'm 24, not obese, just a little overweight by about 15 pounds. I would love to work out more, but travel a lot which is tiring, and I spend most of my time sitting in front of the computer. However I do watch what I eat, I try to keep my calories low but seem to have reached a plateau in weight loss. What I'd like to hear is some feedback from people who really used phentermine and had a similar situation/body type. I am just trying to see if it really works, and if the side effects outweigh the benefits. (if my doctor offered it, it should be safe, right?) I forgot to mention that I read these sites already, so please don't copy and paste from websites: http://www.remedyfind.com/treatments/31/2108/ http://www.phentermine.com/ http://phentermine.drugs.com/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phentermine I really don't want to get depressed after using the medication, so please let me know if that was one of your side effects. THANKS EVERYONE! THEY WERE ALL GREAT ANSWERS, I JUST SELECTED THE ONE WITH THE MOST INFORMATION. JUST FOR THOSE WHO VIEW THIS LATER, I STARTED TAKING THE PILLS 1/2 A DAY FOR 2 DAYS NOW. IN ADDITION TO THE SIDE EFFECTS BELOW, I DID EXPERIENCE A BIT OF CONSTIPATION, SO PLEASE MAKE SURE TO HAVE PLENTY OF WATER (AT LEAST 8 GLASSES) THROUGHOUT THE DAY WHILE TAKING THIS. GOOD LUCK! |
