A member asked:

My doctor gave me phentermine for my follow up from my anxiety medication. i'm taking lorazepam 0.5mg. is there any drug interactions between the two?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

YES: One is a CNS stimulant and the other is the opposite. There is a risk according to the literature of central nervous system (CNS) depression. My advice would be to seek another opinion
