Phentermine

Does anyone know if you can take this if you have hypertension?

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.

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:

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!

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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
