Phentermine

Does anyone know if you can take this if you have hypertension?

Im not sure. I just did a google search and the info at Phentermine Information from Drugs.com said do not take if you have heart disease or high blood pressure. Although my DH's dr was going to prescribe it to him possibly and he has high blood pressure. I guess its something you should talk to your dr about.

My opinion...this is not a good solution. Sure you'll lose weight, because your taking SPEED. Be very careful!

Speed? LOL Sounds like a party. :clap2:

I took the capsules. My doc gave me a Rx of it just to till I could have my first fill, since I was so hungry all the time. It worked just like my ephedrine items (which I call my legal speed).

I just took it instead of ephedrine until I ran out. My doc is anti-diet pills.. so he told me (and my mom who was there) "You're my witness, I'm giving her these for one month, but I won't be the one writing her Rx for diet pills!".

Har har.. and now I'm back on ephedrine. I love the stuff, they act the same.. but I don't think about food physically or mentally allllll day. Mine wear off around 8pm if I take it in the morning, and at 8pm I want to binge eat.. that's the downside. Ephedra you are suppose to take 3 a day, but I don't.. and I know if I took one at night before I got hungry I would never sleep.< /p>

They make me wired, energetic, non-hungry, and I endorse them! I get lots of house cleaning done on the weekends if I take them.

I haven't had them since my 2nd surgery.. my ephedra pills are horsepill sized, and since I've been getting stuck on deli sliced turkey I thought a horsepill may not go down well. But it shows I'm not addicted, because I'm not dying to have them!

I also take Phentermine but I am not yet banded. I don't know if you can take them if you have hypertension but I know they make something thats exactly like Phentermine but for people with high blood pressure so I am guessing you could take that. I am not sure though. You would have to talk to your doctor.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
