A member asked:
I am on warfarin due to aps or antiphospholipid antibody syndrome. my lupus caused aps. can i take phentermine?

See a neurologist: I wish there was an easy yes/no answer to this. APS makes you prone to clots and catastrophic APS can cause multi-organ failure. Unfortunately phentermine is a stimulant that can cause blood vessel narrowing. I would make this decision in conjunction with an endocrinologist and neurologist.
