heart disease - Phentermine.com

I am starting phentermine 5/15.So I have been looking for info on this med.Under the most common side effects it lists valvular heart disease. Isn't thad deadly? It wouldn't bother me so much if it was under less common.Now I feel nervous to even start this.I was already on phen/fen for 2 months a couple years back and only lost 1 lb.Does anyone know how common valvular heart disease is? I would be better off fat than dead from a side effect. I am very, very upset about reading that.Any info will help.
Thanks,
Laurie

I copied this from a web site. http://www.loop.com/~bkrentzman/index.html#toc

"The cases of valvular heart disease have reportedly involved patients taking fenfluramine in combination with phentermine; fenfluramine alone; dexfenfluramine alone; or dexfenfluramine in combination with phentermine. There have been no reported cases to date of this valvular condition occurring with the use of phentermine alone."

You can also go to one of these site for more information. Just look around.

I TOOK PHEN/FEN SEVERAL YEARS AGO ALSO. CURRENTLY I'M JUST TAKING PHENTERMINE AND I FEEL FINE. I HAVEN'T HAD ANY PROBLEMS WHILE TAKING PHENTERMINE ALONE ANY OF THE TIMES I'VE TAKEN IT. I'M BACK ON IT AFTER GAINING WAIT FROM LUPRON AND IT'S REALLY HELPED ME. I HAVE SEVERAL FRIENDS THAT TAKE IT ALSO AND THEY HAVEN'T HAD ANY PROBLEMS EITHER.
HOPE YOU HAVE AS MUCH LUCK WITH IT AS I'VE HAD!
