Author Mrs.Phat Posted June 11, 2004 Author Share Posted June 11, 2004 Okay, so nobody has any experience with this diet pill. Does anyone know anybody that had any experience with this? If so, I would love to hear about it. .......Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
DerangedAngel Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 I know someone who was using Adipex. I gather that it's the same thing, the brand name. She seemed to have fair results, but she believes it was mostly from the change in diet and not the suppression of appetite. She's off the pill now, and is still losing weight at the same slow, steady pace. Now, personally, I don't do diet pills. I had a bad experience with some containing ephedra and I'm forever cautious (even with those that are ephedrine free). Maybe try to google for some information about the risks and benefits. And talk to your doctor! Side effects Dry mouth, sleeplessness, irritability, stomach upset or constipation may occur the first few days as your body adjusts to Phentermine. If these effects persist or become bothersome, inform your doctor. Precautions Tell your doctor your complete medical history especially if you have high blood pressure, an over-active thyroid, glaucoma, diabetes or emotional problems. Consult with your doctor if you think you are pregnant or before breast-feeding. Alcohol can increase unwanted side effects of dizziness. Limit alcohol use. Phentermine is not recommended for use in children. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for further information. Drug interactions Inform your doctor about all the medicines you use, (prescription and nonprescription) especially if you take high blood pressure medicine or MAO inhibitors (e.g., furazolidone, phenelzine, selegiline, tranylcypromine) or any other weight loss medicine. Avoid "stimulant" drugs that may increase your heart rate such as decongestants or caffeine. Decongestants are commonly found in over-the-counter cough and cold medicine. http://www.searchdirs.com/extra.php?aff=1020&qq=phentermine My friend experienced all the above side effects, which is why she stopped taking Adipex. Good luck. -Deranged Link to post Share on other sites
