Phentermine
My dr. put me on phentermine to help with weight loss. Lately I've been feeling really depressed, and really paranoid. I have problems with these things already...my question is this...

Does anyone take this medicine, or know of anyone...that has had an increase in these 2 problems. I don't know if I should continue take this med. I don't want to push people around me away, and I feel like I'm actually loosing it a bit lately.

I know diet pills usually give people mood swings, but supposedly this one wasn't supposed to. Just wondering if anyone else has expierenced this with Phentermine.

I currently take phentermine, I have not experienced this... I also take topamax... In fact , I have the total opisite effect, If you havent been on it for long, give it 2 weeks... plus you will loose so much weight, thst will surely put you in a good mood! But tell your Dr. he may give you something else..

Hi,
I can't make any statements about diet medication, but it really doesn't sound healthy for you.
eating right and exercise are really so much healthier than any pill can be...
just choose things that are healthy... fruits and vegs - a VARIETY!!
Eat colorful foods for more nutrients, like red onions, tomatoes, dark green leafy vegs, etc...
avoid processed foods, the closer to nature the better
try veggie burgers - READ nutrition labels for different brands
definitely drink more, and more water
eats lots of fiber, wheat is a great source, but try for whole-grains (as in breads, cereals, etc...), avoid white processed flours in general
beans (kidney, pinto, etc...) are a great source of protein and are also filling
apples are great, try incorporating other fruits for a variety of nutrients
you can learn all about it online, check out the FDA guidelines and start from there. PBS has many healthy cooking programs - see which are available in your viewing area - and check out their websites for tips and recipes.
definitely limit fats, sugars, calories, but remember that some measure of these items are necessary to a balanced and healthy diet. we don't want you to be thin and gorgeous but on the verge of various mineral and vitamin deficiencies which can really hurt you long-term.
so, do a little research on healthy eating, then eat healthy, exercise, drink water, and definitely don't go hungry.
unless medically required, get off the pill that makes you fell worse and instead choose a better healthy lifestyle
Be healthy and fit!

Phentermine is a synthetic amphetamine. It could cause paranoia, but typically it should cause the opposite of depression. More a feeling of elation!
I've taken it for a while and I loved it!
But everyone reacts differently to ampethamines.
Make sure you keep monitoring your blood pressure. It caused me to have hypertension!
