I have idiopathic intercranial hypertension. i take 250mg of diamox once daily. can i take phentermine to help lose weight to improve my condition?

Weight loss may or may not benefit your Pseudotumor issues. Prior to initiating phentermine, would recommend considering some of the newer medications recently placed on the market. An endocrinologist might provide helpful guidance.
