Phentermine Side Effects (Page 3)

What are the side effects of phentermine?

REPLY

REPORT

I went to a weight loss clinic to go on the pills in order to break my sugar binge and lose some weight. It's a scam office, but I was desperate, so I paid for a month of pills. They don't tell you the side effects or take much of a medical history. I immediately lost my appetite and lost nine pounds in two weeks. I cut my eating way back and am eating only healthy foods (no sugar!).

When I did the research for side effects, I stopped at the allergic reaction as I rarely, if ever, have allergies, so I didn't read it. Then I started having troubles drinking water (food is okay). It gets caught in my throat and it's sometimes an effort to swallow. My tongue seems to be also swollen. That's when I went back and read the allergic reaction part. Therefore, I'm going to take a half pill for a couple days to come off of it (they say not to quit cold turkey) and then stop. I'll keep the rest just in case my appetite gets out of control again, but I think I have my eating habits set. (You have to lose the weight mentally and eat healthy or else you'll just gain the weight back.)

If you take these, listen to your body. Don't let desperation take the place of risking serious health issues.

a common side effect is dry mouth which cam cause blisters or other problems due to the lack of moisture and growing bacteria in the mouth be sure to drink tons of water and that should help aid the blisters also dry gargling salt water one or twice a week to help killing the bacteria and brush your teeth often.

its common to have food cravings once you are off that's why it is very important to establish a good diet and exercise program while your cravings are controlled

I lost 50lbs on Adderall 20mg twice a day none of those side affects and it is not synthetic like phen , no dry mouth , no tongue issues , can be slightly moody at times but nothing I can't control once I was aware of it , stop the phen , it is synthetic garbage . You will have to convince your doctor you are adult attention deficit disorder . Not hard to do Wikipedia sites all you need right from DSM-4

It's "Phentermine" not "Phenteramine". It's pretty disconcerting that a doctor of 20 years doesn't know the medical terminology. I hope you're just some health nut hating on everyone here for taking PHENTERMINE because if you're a licensed physician you need a refresher course in pharmacology. I feel sorry for your patients.

are you rubbing your tongue against the back of your teeth subconsciously? I am having terrible side effects. I just started yesterday for ADHD and fatigue, at 10, i've been cleaning house and fluttering around since then and it is 4"17pm here so over 28 hours. I am told this all goes away after about 3 weeks. My doctor has me on zanax and celexa too. I think he may have told me to start those first, then the phentermine/

Yes I do have irritation on the sides of my tongue. They are white sores. They aren't blisters or anything bit they are very uncomfortable. I have no idea what they are but I know I only get them when I take the diet pills. Also the pill seems very acidic, like a burning senation that lasts only the second or two between when I place it In my mouth until I get a drink of water to swallow it.

This is my second time on phentermine and lost 86# in 6 months the first time. This time I have side effects. 3 weeks of taking it and I have the dry sore tongue and it's making it hard to concentrate on much else. Today I started getting tiny blisters all over my body. And noticed a painful, tiny, white bump on the inside of my lower lip. Pretty sure there are a couple bumps developing on the outside of my lip as well. I am also 5'9" and 220# so I really worry that side effects will cause me to discontinue the pill and I will not make it to a healthy, comfortable weight.

I am not able to take Phenterimne, I had a reaction called Serotonin Syndrome. I reacted with my Cymbalta. I had lost about 10 pounds in 6 weeks. Does anyone know of anything I can take that won't react with my antidepressants? I have gained all of the weight back and am frustrated.

This is exactly the same with my husband. He now hides the pills so I won't know he's taking the again but I can always tell because he is a completely different person, mean and crazy. I want to sue our doctor for continuing to give them to him. I've told the doctor how they make him act. I guess our marriage isn't a concern for him, only that my husband loses a few pounds and keeps coming back.

I talk super fast and constantly rub my tongue on the back of my teeth. This is my second go with phen. First time I lost a ton of weight. Got cocky, didn't exercise or change my eating habbits. Eventually the pill stops working and then the weight creeps back up. Had to take amino acid 5-htp for a year and quit all energy drinks before it would work again. This time I'm exercising, weight training, building muscle and eating right with it. It's kinda like learning to ride a bike. Sooner or later your help is gonna let go and your on your own so, use it to your advantage.

My physician tried putting me on Topamax with the phentermine because he doesn't like phentermine and only wants me on it for a boost and to continue with topamax even when phentramine is gone, however, I looked up side affects for topamax and I'm afraid to even pick it up from pharmacy
