Question 5

No interaction: There is no known interaction between the two medicine. Synthroid (thyroxine) in appropriate/regulated dose is very safe--generally a lifetime medication. Adipex should not be used for prolonged period of time.
Any additional questions/concerns, consult your doc. Good luck.

Question 6

what are the risks of taking adipex?

Accepted Answer

Minimal at low dose: The side effects of using Phentermine are those that accompany the use of stimulants. It is comparable to coffee. Too much causes anxiety, headaches, insomnia, etc. These problems are minimized because of the prescription protocol used by our medical professionals. The “start low go slow” approach that is used when prescribing medicine for chronic conditions works well in treating obesity also.

That depends on you!: The amount of weight you lose with phentermine is variable depending of things like your calorie intake, level of obesity, gender, activity level, dosage, etc.  According to a Livestrong article entitled “The Average Monthly Weight Loss Using Phentermine” a woman might lose 3 to 6 pounds per month and a man might lose 5 to 8 pounds per month when using a low-calorie diet in addition to Phentermine

Question 8

what other diet meds are as effective as adipex?

Accepted Answer

Wishful thinking: Hi
over the long haul of bariatric meds, Phentermine (generic of adipex) still sems to work the best in my opinion. But, and a big but--no pun intended. I believe only a physician who specializes in weight loss and has taken special medical education re: weight loss meds should be prescribing for these meds.  I do wish more meds would be appoved by the fda.  I have lots to say about lack of wt med.

Question 9
