I've been taking lotensin to treat hi bp for years. I have diabetes that is pretty much out of control, and I'll have to lose 40lbs or start injecting insulin. He put me on phen about 3weeks ago. When I expressed concern over the bp,he said the consequences of my weight/diabetes are a higher risk than the bp. Plus as the weight goes down so will the bp. And the sugars. I've had unbelievable cravings for sugar in the past but has been much improved since starting phen. Dr also put me on critical pre-natal vitamins. I feel like I'm on speed all the time and have had some difficulty sleeping. So far those are the only side effects I've noticed. Surprisingly, the lotensin is holding its own against the phen. Hope this helps. - SgStubb
