could i use phentermine without any health problems?

Question

What are the health risks of taking phentermine (37.5 mg) for 4+ months? What are the expected withdrawal symptoms when the med. Is stopped?

Answer 1

Maybe: Potential side effects include: palpitations, rapid heart rate, ^ blood pressure, ischemic event, anxiety, insomnia, headache, tremor,dizziness, dry mouth, diarrhea or constipation & sexual dysfunction. When a medication containing phentermine in combination with fenfluramine/ dexenfluramine was on the market – pulmonary hypertension & heart valve damage occurred.

Answer 2

WHY?: It only works while you're taking it and then everything goes back to where it was. It also can be toxic, even without health problems. Why not learn to eat less and exercise more for the rest of your life?

Answer 3

Any other stimulants: Anything that stimulates your nervous system on top of what Phentermine already does can be dangerous. Avoid caffeine, attention deficit drugs, street drugs etc.

Answer 4

See below: Phentermine is used together with diet and exercise to treat obesity (overweight) in people with risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or diabetes. Do not use Phentermine if you are pregnant or breast-feeding a baby. You should not take Phentermine if you have a history of heart disease, severe or uncontrolled high blood pressure and maoinhibitors discuss with your doctor.

Answer 5

Overweight people: Adipex & Ionamin ( generic is phentermine) appetite suppressants, are used short term (3-6 wks) for obese people exercising and eating a low-calorie diet.

Cold turkey.: As far as quitting without any nicotine replacement, the cold turkey method is great. But plan it ahead of time. Pick a quit date in advance, maybe a meaningful date like a birthday or holiday, and gather people who are aware of your attempt that you can call upon for moral support if you start to falter. Good luck!!

Answer 9

Quitting: Develop a plan before you stop smoking. Chose a date that you plan to stop. Let your friends & family know so that they can support you. Get rid of cigarettes, lighters, ashtrays etc. Stay away from people who are smoking so that it won't trigger the urge to smoke. Consider using a smoking cessation App, a quitline, smokefree TXT or joining a support group. Medications can also be used.

Answer 10

No: No. You need a prescription for phentermine.

Answer 11

No: Phentermine is a synthetic drug. It is not added to any coffee brands in the U.S. Not a good idea really to put 2 potent stimulants together.

Answer 12

Estrogen blocker: Tamoxifen is a drug which blocks estrogen receptor. Cancers which express high levels of estrogen receptor, such as some breast cancers, may respond well (shrink) to tamoxifen. It has been in clinical use for decades.

Answer 13

Estrogen blocker: Hi. Tamoxifen is an estrogen receptor antagonist. Certain cancers (most notably estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer) are stimulated to proliferate in response to estrogen, and blocking estrogen action at its receptor or blocking estrogen production by blocking the aromatase enzyme have been shown to be very therapeutic. Tamoxifen is not useful in cancer research that does nor involve estrogen

Answer 14

Serious reactions: Serious complications can include pulmonary hypertension, dependeny and abuse, psychosis, fast heart rate, high blood pressure, and valvular heart disease. These are things your doctor should be monitoring you for if you are taking this.

Answer 16

Swine Flu: oseltamivir or zanamivir are two options

Answer 17

Antiviral Rx: oseltamivir (Tamiflu®) or zanamivir (Relenza®)

Answer 18

Yes: Any medication once you use constantly the body develops a new homeostasis and when you stop the medication the body goes through disturbance to re-establish its original state. Depending on the severity of withdrawal the amount of physical dependence will be evident. All medications better to slowly taper and withdraw - this includes the nutrients too.

Answer 19

Sure: Phentermine is a stimulant & fully capable of being the source of addiction. There is a difference between physiological tolerance &/or withdrawal -vs- addiction. To be addicted you need one of the biological features (tolerance or withdrawal), loss of control (despite negative consequences), & salience (it becomes an important part of your life).

Answer 20

Never: This looks primarily to be a vitamin drop to me. Babies do need 400 IU of vitamin D daily. Other than this, your breastmilk and formula ( assuming it is adequately DHA supplemented using optimal global DHA levels) contains all the vitamins and nutrients your baby needs to grow. If you are breastfeeding, then three times a week seafood is optimal for DHA secretion into milk.

Answer 21
