Since I have started this conversation, my doctors have come to the conclusion that I may have had something else going on with my muscles and the phentermine just caused even more problems with it. I have been off of it for a while now, not too long, but already doing some better.
Have you heard of RLS? Restless leg syndrome? Turns out that through a process of eliminations, my doctor has decided to treat me for that. Once coming off the phentermine and starting a new med for RLS, I am doing much better and it hasn't been that long.
Too bad for me. Other than the muscle problem, the phentermine was a great benefit for me and I did learn to eat better while on it. It's easier to make better choices when your stomach is not screaming for food!
