Anyone useing this Are there any risk ,? > Anyone useing this Are there any risk ,? Hi Jesus. I have used phentermine in the past and, at that time, it was effective for me. If you do decide to use it, I would advise that you go to a doctor for the prescription and not buy it online. I bought some online another time and it did not seem to be very strong or effective. There are side effects. Most notably it disrupts the sleeping pattern (hard to get to sleep at night), and it can make a person a little irritable. Also, I found that it made me a little anxious too - I tended to worry more and have "bad" thoughts - especially when trying to go to sleep at night. By "bad" thoughts I mean, thoughts about getting into car accidents, the end of the world, war, etc. Just very negative and anxious thoughts. I will tell you though. That it gives you A LOT of energy. My house was never cleaner than when I was taking Phentermine! Also, it gave me bad breath because I never thought about eating anything, and when I don't eat anything I get bad breath. Also, you must be careful because you really don't feel like eating and one time I forgot to eat for three days. When I did finally eat something again, I got a little sick because I ate too much too soon and ended up with diarrhea and a stomach ache. In the long term there are better solutions, but to kind of get a start, and get your body used to eating less, it isn't a bad option. I would do it again except it's too expensive. Best of luck.

I think about eating all the time- I can't ever imagine forgetting one meal, let alone several. That drug sounds like bad, bad news. -coop > <snip> > > > I will tell you though.

If you do think about food, nothing sounds appetizing. Em You can't be healthy doing drugs. Start an exercise program and learn to eat right. > Anyone useing this Are there any risk ,? > You can't be healthy doing drugs.

State-dependent learning is the medical term that *sort of* applies. As soon as your state returns to normal, so does your body.

I've been taking a small dose of phentermine (18.75 mg) for the past 8 years, and have maintained my body weight loss for 6 1/2 years. So I'm not sure what you're talking about either from a professional or personal perspective.

All drugs have potential long term side effects. However, I'm probably not doing anything worse to my CNS than the average person who drinks two cups of coffee a day. Since I don't drink coffee, or any other caffeinated product, there's probably not much to worry about. Even with phentermine, I still have to watch what I eat and exercise 10 hours a week. I couldn't lose weight without it (on the same program for 6 months), and probably couldn't lose it again even if I increased the phentermine dose. This is why I was determined to keep it off no matter what. And anyone who's tracked my posts over the past few years knows I just went through one of the most stressful events a human can face. So if I kept it off through that, I'm pretty confident it's a permanent change.

I found that when I took it that my body became accostomed to it and it lost most of its effectiveness after about 4 months. Of course, by that time I had gotten so used to eating small portions that it wasn't really necessary any longer. I did so miss the energy boost though! Em > You can't be healthy doing drugs.

Some people experience a lot of energy and cant sleep at nite. My co-worker had to start it at 7 a.m. to ensure she could be asleep by 11 p.m.. Me, I can sleep on the stuff, but it makes me paranoid and have bad thoughts. |
