My wife has been taking phentermine for the past couple months and been eating a very low calorie diet and has lost about 30lbs. She now weighs about 125 or maybe even less than that. She has the common side effects of the med. Dry mouth, tachycardia(fast heart rate), irritable, and frequent mood swings.

I have been with her for 18 years. We are both 34. Her behaivor has changed so much in the past couple months. She seems very depressed all the time. She won't admit it but I can tell she is. She has always been a very happy and fun person. It's like she has lost control of her emotions. I've tried to talk with her and bring her some information about the side effects, but she don't want to hear it. All she says is that if she stops taking the pills she's afraid she will gain her weight back.

Anyway, has anyone else been confronted with severe mood changes like this with themselves or other friends/family taking phentermine?

Thanks for all your help,

Brad
