What are the risks of taking adipex?

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.
