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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
