Phentermine HCL
Phentermine hcl is a diet drug which requires a prescription from your doctor or if you get it online, you have to fill out a medical form and qualified doctors will check out your medical history and approve or disapprove your order for the Phentermine. The drug has a long list of reported side effects and it may not be for everyone. If you are pregnant, nursing, or have medical problems and are taking medications, consult your doctor about Phentermine before you take any. There is not enough research about the effects it might have on a baby and you do not want to take chances of your baby becoming addicted to it. It is habit forming so whatever it does to you , it may also do to your baby either through your system if you are pregnant, or through your milk if you are breast feeding. To be on the safe side, it might be better to wait until you are no longer breast feeding before you try to go on a diet. Many diet aids have side effects. If you are determined to go on a diet, make sure it is safe for the baby so you might just resort to exercise and eat a proper diet until after the baby is born and you are no longer breast feeding before you take any diet drugs.
Some of the side effects from Phentermine are allergic reactions such as difficulty in breathing, closing of the throat, swelling of the tongue, lips, or face, or hives, irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure, insomnia, restlessness, tremors, nervousness, dizziness, anxiety, headache, dry mouth, bad taste in the mouth, diarrhea, constipation, impotence, or change in sex drive. If you are taking Phentermine and experience one or more of these symptoms, contact your physician as soon as possible. If you miss a pill, take it when you think about it unless it is about the time for another one. If this is the case, take one pill and forget the missed one. You do not want to take a double dose close together. If you should happen to take an over dose, get emergency medical help right away. Signs of an overdose are tremors, restlessness, rapid breathing, hallucinations, confusion, panic, nausea, aggressiveness, vomiting, diarrhea, irregular heartbeat, and seizures. Since Phentermine is habit forming, you need to slowly wean yourself from it when you are ready to stop taking it. Do not stop all at once or you may have withdrawal symptoms. You should talk to your doctor about this and let them help you. You should not take Phentermine for more than fourteen weeks, according to some doctors, because of the possible addition.
