Is it safe for me to take Phentermine?

[wannabebuff]

I am trying Phentermmine for the first time and just took my first pill (15mg). I tried another prescription weight loss pill (I'm not sure if I'm allowed to mention the name) 2 years ago and lost a ton of weight and was ecstatic about the results, but every now and then I would experience a tight clenching feeling in my chest. It would happen very quickly and only last for a split second but felt pretty intense. It still happens rarely so it might not be related to the medication at all but it still kind of scares me. The main reason I quit the pills was due to the deaths and lawsuits I kept hearing about related to the medication. My question is do you guys think I might experience the same on Phentermine? Does anyone else ever feel this way and have their been any deaths associated with Phentermine? I also drink pretty regularly and am wondering if that's okay. I run about fours days a week and lift weights but my problem is I love to eat! One of my favorite hobbies is cooking and when I get in the kitchen I ain't gonna be wasting my time with grilled chicken and salad! I prefer a rich and hearty meal that will satisfy me and my man. I also eat out way too much so I thought Phentermine could help me lose these 15 lbs that won't budge. Anyway I'm rambling but I'll let you know how it goes! And any advice would be appreciated! Have a wonderful 4th of July weekend!

First of all, it sounds like maybe what you were taking before had Ephedrine in it. That is a common reaction to Ephedrine. No one to my knowledge has had any bad reactions like that to Phen.
Second of all, when you say you drink, did you mean alcohol? If so, I would try to cut back as much as possible. I am not one to preach, but it is not a good thing to do while trying to lose weight. Drink lots and lots of water! Very vital to success with Phen or any other diet.
When you do cook, and make those wonderful meals, try to make healthier choices when cooking. Cut back on the fried foods, the carbs and extra calories.
Just a little friendly advice for you. I hope that helps out a little. If you need anything further, feel free to PM me.
