I've been on 37.5 mg of phentermine 2x a day for 3 months. I'm under the care of a weightloss doctor. So far I'm very happy with the 50 lb weightloss with only about 15 lbs to go. However the loss has drastically slowed to about 1 or 2 lbs a week. My biggest concern with the side effects of this medication is the hairloss. Starting about three weeks after taking the medicine my hair started comming out by the hundreds a day. All of my life I took great pride in having a headfull of long, THICK hair. Now, my hair is so thin I can see my scalp. I'm afraid to wash it or comb it. My doctor said it was due to the lack of vitamins and minerals in my diet. I think he's full of CRAP!!! He told me to take biotin which I have for 2 months now and have seen no results. I don't think losing another 15 lbs is worth losing anymore hair over. But now I'm wondering if it will grow back. And when I stop taking the pills if I'll gain back the weight and be bald too!! PLEASE DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS??? I"M DESPARATE!!
