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.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
