Wow I think shoegal narrated my story with her post. That really encouraged me. Thank you shoegal. I am really scared and feel like I have no one to talk to about my addiction to phentermine. I started taking it after I had my 2nd baby, 5 years ago. I was on and off for a while, now I have been taking the pills for over 2 years straight. My doctor just keeps filling my RX! At first I thought it was wonderful because the pounds were shedding like crazy & I knew I could keep losing because he would continue to refill my RX. Now, I've gotten to the point where I have gained weight, I eat like regular but I HAVE to pop the pill everyday just to even remotely function. If i don't take a pill in the morning, I feel all cloudy in my head, I can't concentrate, and I want to do nothing but eat and sleep. I feel like I have no where to turn - I seriously do not know what to do!! I am 28 years old, have two beautiful babies & I am so scared that I am taking some serious health risks by continuing to take these pills. I get dizzy sometimes, my left arm & fingers occasionally go numb. But, I just cannot stop taking them - I've tried! My husband doesn't even know that I still take them. I feel horrible for keeping this secret from him, but I don't want anyone to know that I am seriously addicted to these stupid little white pills! Any help would be greatly appreciated. I just don't know what to do or where to go from here........
