If your normal dr says that it is unsafe for you to take because it has raised your pulse and messed up your blood pressure, then by all means, stop taking it. It definately is not worth the risk at all.
A lot of drs still associate phentermine with the old rx combination phen-fen that did cause some very serious problems for some people. It is not prescribed as a combination anymore, but the other drug...fen something was the main cause of the problems, not the phentermine. It was found that phentermine when used alone can be safe and very useful to lose weight.
But if you are experiencing problems, I am glad that you spoke to your dr because it can be unsafe for some, that is why there is so much preaching here about seeing your dr while on it, and why it became illegal to purchase without a drs prescription. I am sorry that he feels it is unsafe for you.
Good luck to you.
