Did anyone try Phentramine before deciding on WLS? What were your results? How long did you keep the wight off? What were the side effects?

Just Curious.

I took that stuff about a year and a half ago. I was under close supervision and only allowed on it for 3 months. I hated it. I still actually have 1/2 of a month supply somewhere, because I couldn't stand the side affects anymore. I did lose a quick 40lbs. (I needed to so I could fit in the darn airplane) which was necessary for work. I gained it back within a few months as I expected. I've been on other weight loss drugs with the same results every time.

I was so bitchy while on it as well. I couldn't stand how I was acting. I also was a smoker and I smoked like a chimney and drank lots of coffee (never usually drink the stuff) as well. Awful, awful pill. Just hope your friends doctor has the sense to only allow her on it for a short amount of time.

She has gone to a Clinic that prescribes the Phen.. Her doctor has no clue!
