I've been taking synthroid now for 12 years and just started phentermine...so far there doesn't seem to be any contraindications with the hormone replacements, however will know more after my next endo appointment. I have very dry mouth as well, but since I also have other problems that cause that I'm not sure where to point the finger.

I am on 75 mcg synthroid with no effects. Are you sure you're not mcg instead of mg? That's a lot of mg, but everyone is different.

Several users here are on thyroid meds with zero problems interaction-wise. All good. The dry mouth and jitters will go away soon enough.

I am on 175mg of synthroid for past 20 years ( I'm 27) and I started at 7 years old. I am hypothyroid. I have been on phen for 2 months now. So far no complications. I'm on highest dose of phen.

hi Im a newbie,just started phen last thurs.I am also on synthroid 125 mg.and the first day or 2 after taking phen I felt great,but now feel tired,very grouchy and confused,very irritable,also dry mouth and headaches,I want to continue taking it because I dont want to have to resort back to ephedera.I lost 70 lbs on ephedera in the past but have put back on about 30 any thoughts or suggestions?

Hi there, I have been on phen for almost three weeks and have had an awful thickness in my throat/extremely dry mouth (hard to swallow, like a lump in my throat). I am on day 5 of synthroid, just found out I have an underactive thyroid. The above symptom occurred immediately after taking phen, but seems to get worse. Mentioned to dr. and he examined my throat but does not appear to see anything wrong; my inner gut says to stop phen because of my discomfort - any suggestions from you all?

michellelong74 · August 9th, 2006, 06:00 AM

I have been taking Synthroid for about 3 years now and I am on the highest dose of 137 mcg. I started Phen yesterday because I have been unable to lose these stubborn 40 to 60 lbs. Most I can lose is 12 to 16 and then it comes right back. Within 30 minutes of taking 37.5 Phen I was very jittery and had chills. Then the thirst kicked in and I just kept drinking water all day and night. I thought it gave me a headache but I do have a cold coming on and a sore throat but that started Monday before I started Phen.

Anyways - i have no idea if Phen affects the Synthroid but I have a check up in One month and I guess we will see then. I will keep posting my side-effects etc.

I am excited and nervous to be taking Phen. I have avoided any diet pill and now I have finally given in because with hypothyroidism its nearly impossible to lose weight.

TDCG72 · December 6th, 2006, 06:04 AM

I have taken phen and 112mcg.levothyroxine for hypothyroid for about 8 months. I asked my endo about the combo, he said there was no problem. As for the drymouth. That's the only time I drink the amount of water I should. Good luck!

tlw4tlw · December 18th, 2006, 03:22 AM

I am on 100mcg of levoxyl every day, taking 2 pills on Thursday. so im not sure what that equals exactly. I just started Phen. 37.5 dose. I dont like the insomnia it has caused. in fact im concerned. i need to rest. I dont sleep 1 full hour at night. And the upset stomach is concerning too. im extremely gasy. But i have no appetite - so im not gasy from eating! The NO appetite has been great though! I sure hope the side effects severly lesson.
and I SO understand the tremendous difficulty of losing weight with hypothroydism. no matter what i do, i gain. and the Dr increases my med. i just dont understand why this disease can not be tamed. Just becasue you are 'between numbers' on a blood test - in no way means your metabolism is working properly. in fact, it NOT working properly if u r gaining weight all the time WITH the meds.

Im hopeful Phen will work for me. As long as i can live with the side effects.

DiamondGirl · December 18th, 2006, 04:40 PM

I'm also on 137 of levoxil (generic synthoid) and on 37.5 phen once a day. I've been on it once in the past about 5 years ago (prescribed by my endocronolist doc) and did very well. No side effects at all. Of course, I stopped taking it and gained all the weight back over the last couple of years so last month, I decided this was it and ordered some from phen the net. I've been on it 3 weeks and lost 11 lbs. so far. I feel no side effects except dry mouth. I don't even feel all the energy everyone else feels or jittery, just a decreased appitite. But then again I really haven't had an excess energy since I had my thyroid removed via surgery 5 years ago. Hope it helps.

mom38 1968 · June 30th, 2007, 03:25 PM

i take synthroid 0.05mg been on it a year now my doc just gave me adipex 37.5-p on the 26 of june i took my first one the 27th have'nt had any side affets yet i take my phen in the morning and my throid med at night before bed

your problem now · July 2nd, 2007, 06:47 AM

I used to take synthroid but now I'm taking levothyroxine. One thing I'm wondering is if maybe the phen is working slower because of the levothyroxine...?

Shondalynn · July 29th, 2008, 03:50 PM

I am hypothyroid and have been taking 100 mcg synthroid for years. I go to a weight loss clinic for my phentermine. The doctor at the clinic is aware of my hypothyroidism and the synthroid I am taking for it. She has assured me that there are no contraindications with the two medications.

Peechuz,
The discomfort in your throat is likely to be due to your hyperthyroidism not phentermine. An enlarged thyroid gland is a symptom of hyperthyroidism your thyroid gland is located in your throat. Since your diagnosis of thyroid disease is fairly new check with your doctor or online for a list of symptoms regarding your type of thyroid disease.
