My doctor just put me on Phentermine, what do you think of this?
I have been struggling with weight my entire life. I am so sick and
tired of being this way. I am fatter than I ever dreamed I would be.
I absolutely despise what I see in the mirror and often wonder why my
husband stays with me.
I have a lot of health issues. Diabetes, high blood pressure, high
cholesterol, overactive thyroid, sleep apnea, enlarged heart, fatty
liver and I am sure there are more but haven't been figured out yet.
Oh yeah, did I mention depression? lol It seems the weight is what
has caused every single one of my health issues.
I am 36 years and female.
I am currently on a ton of meds, but have recently been switched from
fluoxetine to wellbutrin. I am on my 3rd month of this switch and I
find that the wellbutrin doesn't help at all. I am so miserable and
wasn't feeling this way on fluoxetine. My doc says that fluoxetine and
phentermine can't be taken together.
I finally get the doc to prescribe me this drug and I have to go off
the one drug that makes my quality of life feel so much better. Yeah,
I have lost 36 lbs in the last 2 months, wonderful. Wish I felt like I
have lost weight, I still see the same ugly person in the mirror.
Is it even possible to lose a lot of weight and keep it off without
surgery? I have lost and gained sooo much weight in my life, over and
over again and always gain it back plus some. Is there anyway I can
lose weight this time and not gain it back? Am I destined to be
bed-bound because I am just to fat to move around?
sigh, hope someone has something good to say to me. I don't know much
about phentermine, ok, I know nothing about it. What do you think of
this drug?
