Phentermine.

Phentermine is a stimulant medicine that helps you fight your food cravings therefore making it possible to do with less food and lose weight consistently. You will need to follow a diet and stick to a certain exercise routine in order to benefit from your treatment with phentermine. Make sure your doctor is aware of any other drugs you are also taking, especially medications for weight loss, fluoxetine, depression meds, guanethidine, paroxetine, fluvoxamine, sertraline, insulin, MAO inhibitors, or vitamins, as dangerous interactions have been reported. Phentermine is well tolerated by most patients taking it, but side effects are still possible. The following mild side effects sometimes occur in people taking phentermine: vomiting, unpleasant taste, diarrhea, constipation, and dry mouth. More serious side effects are rare and can be any of the following: dizziness, swelling of the legs and ankles, insomnia, increased blood pressure, chest pain, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, restlessness, dizziness, and tremor. If you notice any side effects that seem serious enough – talk to your doctor right away. Also make sure your doctor knows that you have glaucoma, problems with your thyroid, history of drug or alcohol abuse, high blood pressure, anxiety disorder, arteriosclerosis, diabetes, seizure disorder, or heart disease, as this may be important to prevent side effects.
