Thanks, Ian, I look forward to reading your report.
I think what has struck me the most is not so much the tolerance issue, because think of all the various types of medications to which we develop tolerances; i.e. opiates, antihistamines, even caffeine. So I wasn't at all surprised by the phentermine tolerance. However, I was ASTOUNDED at the different side effects of what is supposedly the same molecular recipe. I believe the US FDA allows a +/- 10% in generics, but I'd expect that the difference would be in the med's effectiveness, not its freaking side effects! The yellow caps caused not only extreme temporomandibular muscle spasms, but I would also feel it in my neck and shoulders by the end of the day, sometimes to the point where I was just miserable. And as soon as I stopped taking the med, the muscle pain went away. I dunno, there just seems to be something wrong with this picture.
Actually, now that I think about it, I believe they were both Eon brands and the yellow monsters were maybe ten or twenty bucks cheaper for a three month supply. Folks, please take my word on this: you get what you pay for.
