Take Phentermine And Speed Your Buns Off.

By Freddie Schiefelbein


Phentermine is an amphetamine and should only be used while under the care of a medical doctor. It has successfully helped obese patients lose weight. However, there are significant side effects, some of which can be life threatening. Also, unless healthy habits are established, like proper diet, rest and exercise, the weight will return once phentermine is discontinued.

Because of the risks associated with phentermine, it is usually prescribed for people who are experiencing health problems because of their weight. They, along with their doctor, have made the decision that taking phentermine is worth the risks. Like all amphetamines, phentermine can be addictive and has the potential for abuse.

Phentermine works because the desire to eat is diminished, if not entirely suppressed. Also, when a person initially begins taking it, they feel euphoric and have more energy. Unfortunately, this may also cause sleeplessness. In time, the extreme feelings will diminish as the body builds up a tolerance to the medication. It may even feel like it doesn't work anymore.

Websites across the internet sell phentermine without a prescription, but using it without the advice and supervision of a doctor is not only foolish, it's dangerous. This drug can cause serious and long lasting damage to the body and mind. The heart is particularly sensitive to this form of amphetamine. Only a doctor can decide if this is a wise course to follow.

An internet search for phentermine will quickly lead to endless glowing testimonials from people who took phentermine and lost a bunch of weight in a short time. This is quite possible. However, it is only half of the story. These same women fail to mention the mood swings, chest pains, tremors and irregular heartbeat they also experienced while taking the drug.

Like any amphetamine, it's possible to overdose with phentermine. Typically, an overdose will cause hallucinations, painful headaches, possible seizures, fuzzy vision, nausea and vomiting. Naturally, these are never mentioned in the glowing endorsements of the drug which are only trying to sell you. It would be most wise to avoid it or at least be cautious.

In western culture, the United States and Europe, and unfortunately much of the rest of the world, advertising creates our ideals. If we are less than the ideal super model with a tiny waist or the hunk with six pack abs, we hate ourselves. This is unfortunate. Don't let advertising determine how you feel about yourself and don't let it pressure you into taking a dangerous drug like phentermine.

There is no quick fix to weight loss. If you take phentermine and lose weight, it will only stay off if you have a healthy relationship with food and consistent physical activity. To lose weight, be your own best friend and commit to being good to yourself no matter what. Honor your body with healthy food and fun activities. Be patient, significant change take time.
