Severe Water Retention After Abusing Phentermine For One Year

Updated

Hi my name is Karin.. I am suffering so badly from water retention... I'll be 100% honest I was taking phentermine for more than one year, I wasn't being very smart about it, I was taking sometimes up to 6 pills in one day.. I never dranked water, sometimes I would only drink coffee twice a day for months... when ever I would feel hungry I would drink a Coke on an empty stomach... and not eat anything...I'm really not sure what I have, but every time I eat I retain water specially from my face, arms, fingers, head, back, neck, abdomen, and my left leg.. the only way I can kinda calm my water retention is with garlic and yogurt but it as soon as I try eating something I retain water again... well thats part of my story now my question is.. I hear a lot of ppl saying they "went to a clinic and the nurse took almost a gallon of water out of their body" and I need to know where can I find a clinic like this... I'm drinking a lot of water... but if I'm not drinking water, or eating garlic with greek yogurt... I'm retaining water.. :( anybody with some information please let me know, I feel so heavy, to the point where I can't even walk.. I have been too tired, Idk if its because I'm dehydrated even If I'm drinking water,but I didnt drink water for almost A YEAR!! I do have high blood pressure, I know water retention and numbness is one of the symptoms... but I really need to get this water weight off. My clothes don't fit me, I haven't felt myself since I woke up and my arms were huge :'( I am thinking of trying Acupuncture for water retention, we'll see how that goes, hopefully I lose this water weight, my wedding is coming up... & sometimes I feel so depressed I avoid looking at mirrors because I feel so ugly :( by the way I live in Wilmington, Ca the zip code is 90744 any help in some information to what can I do, & where can I go will be very helpful and I would truly appreciate it... thanks for reading... and a thank you in advance if you have some information and are willing to reply to me.. God Bless Yall

Hello, Karin! How are you? Sorry about the problems that you're having.

And please see your doctor as soon as possible!! I really can't stress that enough. This type of water retention can be very dangerous and could put your life in danger, it is the type of thing that causes congestive heart failure. So you do need to get it resolved and only a doctor is going to be able to help you with that, so that it's done properly and safely.

Have you checked your blood pressure, recently?
