Tenuate

I have prescibed to me Attenuate, an appetite suppresent, to facilitate
weight loss. The drug loses its effectives after a few week of use and the
doctor says as I take the maximum now, he cant increase the dosage because
that hasnt been studied. Unlike phentermine which has been used for years,
is well understood and whose dosage can be increased. I dont like the side
effects of phentermine and would like to continue on Tenuate.

Any comments on how to overcome the decreasing effectiveness of Tenuate?

thank you

That's not true for me - after a 50 mile bike ride, I'm ready to eat the

I'm like that! But after a 50 mile bike ride, I think you'd be allowed to
eat the arse out of an elephant!

Neither phentermine nor tenuate has been studied at higher doses, nor
for longer than 24 weeks. The only exception is several small
"phen/fen" studies in which the combination of phentermine and
fenfluramine was used in patients for up to 4 years.

Phentermine is much more effective than tenuate, and has a longer half
life. If you don't like the side effects of phentermine, you can start
with a low dose and gradually work your way up to an effective dose.
Side effects are transient, and generally abate after 4 weeks or so.

No. Listen to your doctor.

If I ride that far I need a little snack partway through. I usually
stop halfway and have something -- otherwise I start to feel yucky and
have a hard time making it home :-/

I agree with Patricia, I think you should listen to your doctor.

I found a great place to buy tenuate online. That is
http://www.pillchart.com/products/tenuate.php

They have the cheapest prices i've found on the net. Plus, besides
Tenuate they have a lot of weight loss pills at great prices,
including tenuate.
