I have been on Synthroid for 11-12 years and was put on Phentermine 1-1/2 yrs ago by my Dr.s Phys. Assistant. He also increased my Synthroid from .100 to .125. I lost 35 lbs in 2 months. Of course I was on a strict no carb diet and treadmill daily. When my Doc realized what he had done, she stopped the Phentermine abruptly and dropped my thyroid back to .100. This led me to ask my Pharmacist about mixing the two and she said she agreed that it is irresponsible to put a patient on both.

I recently asked my Doc to up my thyroid to .125, which she did, and I mentioned the Phentermine thing. She said she stopped it because she figured I wanted to live a bit longer. Now Im a bit confused as my Doctor and the Pharm both were quite adament that the two don't mix. I really would like to take Phentermine again, but I don't dare ask.

The only side effects I had at that time was a numb feeling of my face daily and mostly in the afternoons.

Confused
