Phentermine Side Effects

We all know that every medication has some kind of side effect,
whether easily noticable or more long-term. Lucky for us, Phentermine
has not shown any signs of long-term side effects other than a small
percentage of people becoming dependent on it.

I believe the reason for dependence is that they lead unhealthy lives
that leave them drained of energy all the time, so they cannot stand
it when they stop taking Phentermine and they don't even feel like
getting out of bed in the morning.

As with any medication that you’ve become even slightly addicted to,
you could experience unpleasant side effects when withdrawing yourself
from Phentermine use during at least several weeks. Before you stop
taking your Phentermine prescription, please have a talk with your
physician/doctor to see what the plan should be for gradual withdrawal.

If you try to eat healthy foods and do cardiovascular exercise as well
as drink 8-10 8oz glasses of water a day, dependence should be
a non-issue.

Anyway, enough on rare dependence and on to actual phentermine
side effects that you might experience during the first 1-2 weeks
of taking Phentermine tablets or capsules.

When you’re taking Phentermine, you should go to the emergency room
if you experience any of the side effects listed below:

I) Allergic Reaction:

• a. difficulty breathing
  b. partial closing of the throat
  c. lips, face, or tongue swell
  d. hives (rash of red blotches)
  e. abnormal heartbeat
  f. extremely high blood pressure
  g. extremely painful headache
  h. abnormally blurry vision
  i. hallucination
  j. strange behavior
  k. confusion

If you notice any of these less dangerous side effects
of Phentermine, it is still alright to keep using your
Phentermine prescription. However, you must make sure
to let your doctor know about them:

II) Less serious possible side effects of Phentermine:

• a. restlessness
  b. shaking/tremors
  c. nervousness
  d. unusual levels of stress/anxiety
  e. mild headache
  f. dizziness
  g. insomnia (trouble getting to sleep)
  h. dry mouth
  i. bad taste in your mouth
  j. constipation
  k. diarrhea
  l. impotence
  m. changes in sex drive (usually an increase)
  n. pain running down left or right side (only 1 case on this site)

In addition to the notes above, you should keep in mind that other
side effects of Phentermine could occur, which have not been listed
on this site. If you notice anything strange happening, please alert
your doctor.

Hi,

I am so excited to be on Adipex...it's my 2nd day and I've got the energy of a ping pong ball! I LOVE IT!!!!! My house loves it!!! Ha ha. I do have a side effect though that I haven't read anywhere else and hope you can help me out. Last night I kept getting cramps in my legs and feet..... I drank plenty of water all day.....I didn't drink anything else but water. I ate 1/2 of a pancake in the morning, 1/2 grilled chicken sandwich for lunch and for dinner grilled chicked, baked beans and salad. Keep me posted if anyone else has had these side effects and what to do for them.... I've always heard it's lack of potasium (sp.?) does the pill deplete that some how?

It may help to inform you that I was always very lathargic and yesterday was the first day I had run run run so maybe that's it?

Hello,
Try Eating Some Banana's if this happens again, I have had that problem before but it was happening long before i started on the Phentermine.
Also if you are one who has just started exercise that could be a cause as well, using muscles that forgot they existed {winks} !
Hope you do great with your plan and Good Luck !
