A member asked:

I am taking 2x 25mg topiramate at night given by my neurologist for headaches . i went to a weightloss clinic and doctor gave me 37.5 phentermine. is this too much? ive taken phentermine before and it has worked but i stopped about a year ago?

I do not recommend stimulants in migraine patients . And if you do drink coffee , keep your daily intake steady . Weight loss is hard , study your diet. Measure your activity . We are raised ignorant on calories in food and calories in activity . Here you can become smart and avoid the charlatans , selling unworkable ideas.
