mylapspirit 2 Posted May 19, 2007 Does anyone know if you can take this if you have hypertension? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paula78 0 Posted May 19, 2007 Im not sure. I just did a google search and the info at Phentermine Information from Drugs.com said do not take if you have heart disease or high blood pressure. Although my DH's dr was going to prescribe it to him possibly and he has high blood pressure. I guess its something you should talk to your dr about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Misskitttin 0 Posted October 1, 2007 My opinion...this is not a good solution. Sure you'll lose weight, because your taking SPEED. Be very careful! Speed? LOL Sounds like a party. :clap2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Misskitttin 0 Posted October 1, 2007 But does it hurt the stomach or not? Or the "stoma". Can you take the capsule or are you supposed to take the contents? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daisalana 33 Posted October 1, 2007 I took the capsules. My doc gave me a Rx of it just to till I could have my first fill, since I was so hungry all the time. It worked just like my ephedrine items (which I call my legal speed). I just took it instead of ephedrine until I ran out. My doc is anti-diet pills.. so he told me (and my mom who was there) "You're my witness, I'm giving her these for one month, but I won't be the one writing her Rx for diet pills!". Har har.. and now I'm back on ephedrine. I love the stuff, they act the same.. but I don't think about food physically or mentally allllll day. Mine wear off around 8pm if I take it in the morning, and at 8pm I want to binge eat.. that's the downside. Ephedra you are suppose to take 3 a day, but I don't.. and I know if I took one at night before I got hungry I would never sleep.< /p> They make me wired, energetic, non-hungry, and I endorse them! I get lots of house cleaning done on the weekends if I take them. I haven't had them since my 2nd surgery.. my ephedra pills are horsepill sized, and since I've been getting stuck on deli sliced turkey I thought a horsepill may not go down well. But it shows I'm not addicted, because I'm not dying to have them! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ctaylor 0 Posted October 3, 2007 I also take Phentermine but I am not yet banded. I don't know if you can take them if you have hypertension but I know they make something thats exactly like Phentermine but for people with high blood pressure so I am guessing you could take that. I am not sure though. You would have to talk to your doctor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
