A member asked:

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Constipation: In addition to drinking adequate amounts of fluids and eating fiber like vegetables,fruits, bran,nuts or taking metamucil, you could take a daily gentle bowel stimulant like senokotS which also contains a stool softener. Follow the instructions. The phentermine most likely contributes to your constipation.
