I must clear it up that low neurotransmitter levels do not cause obesity,
but they are a trait of people who are genetically prone to obesity, so that
Phentermine is not as effective for them.

The only way Phentermine could be construed to contribute
to obesity is when someone takes for a while and doesn't
try to eat better foods and exercise to teach their body to
like the right stuff so that they don't gain the weight back.

This only applies to the people who aren't eating good foods
and exercising. Those people will probably gain the weight back
after they stop phentermine, and most people who do that
gain it back PLUS some more, which is why I said it could
contribute to obesity.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.
