Taper dose : When discontinuing the medication i would taper the dose by half a few days at a time until cessation of the drug.

Phentermine: !this is not a good way to lose weight and become healthy.Focus on excellent nutrition, consistent exercise, correction of any hormonal imbalances.As far as food is concerned, by using medications above to suppress appetite, you will not lose weight in the long term.You will end up restricting the calories you take in and although you might lose weight initially, this will fail in the long term.
