I have been on Phentermine for about 2 weeks and have lost 6 pounds. I have dry mouth, my heart races a little bit but seems to subside after a few hours but I keep wondering if this drug is harmful to me? I do like having the extra energy but sometimes the racy feeling worries me. I do go to a Medical Weight Control Center and my blood pressure was slightly elevated last time I went but they didn't question it. I just want to be sure I'm doing the rt. thing. I've read that Phentermine is a drug for obesity but what if your not obese and want to lose about 25 lbs should I not be taking this?

Why shouldn't you be able to take it? Chubby people need to stand up for their rights. This is a case of weight discrimination.

The 25 pounder group always gets screwed! Life ****s just as much for us as it does the HEAVY. We are never allowed to ask for help. It's much more painful to be in the middle. So close, yet so far away. You shouldn't have to gain more weight in order to get help. Who's decision was it to make phentermine a drug for the obese? It was probably a skinny man.

What a miserable nite I had! Went to bed at 11:00pm woke up at 1:00am. Caught up on all the wee hrs of the nite talk show. My favorite roseanne and Dr. Joy.Finally went back to sleep at 3:00am. Kicking myself for missing the "get together" last nite in the x-rated room.
How bout when we all get skinny we meet at disignated place and try to guess who eh. other is by giving 3 clues or less? A sort of phen users convention. gotta go and take a phen to rev up for my day.Yawn
