Hello everyone :grin: Just wanted to introduce myself My names Bridget currently i am at 180pds, 5'5 and 31 years old, my goal weight is 145. This is the first time i have tried phentermine, This has been day one and i have felt pretty good and have had no appetite. Had to make myself eat. I work out at Curves 3 times a week so maby that will help in this process.
My one concern is that i have been on Paxil 20mg for over a year now and i have seen mixed thoughts on wether it should be taken together.. I cut my paxil in half today cause my doctor had said it wasn't really researched on wether it is safe.. Does anyone have any information on this? It did not seem to bother me today, and i am hoping to see the pounds start to come off. Looks like allot of people are haveing great success hope i can report the same soon.. and thanks Ian for the sight looks very informative..
Hello and goodluck to all!!!

Welcome Bridget. I don't take paxil but I do take Lexapro. You may want to check out the website www.phenpro.com. It has some info about taking phen with SSRI's. Supposedly the ssri keeps you from becoming tolerant to the phen as quickly. Someone on another board said that her doctor prescribed both Lexapro and phen, and that the pharmacist acted like it was really bad to take Lexapro and phen together. I've never had a problem with the two and i've been on phen for 2 months and haven't become tolerant yet. Hope this helps!

I take Zoloft and my Dr. said it was fine for me to continue taking it with phentermine. I had a second baby (and last I might add) 6 weeks ago and am taking Zoloft for postpartum depression prevention. (I started the Zoloft when I was halfway through my pregnancy.) I do not know if Paxil is safe, but maybe you could switch to Zoloft because I know it's safe and I think they do the same thing.....just a thought!
