I was at my doctor last week and mentioned to her that I'm getting married and trying to lose weight. Immediately she offered to prescribe me a drug called Phentermine, and recommended that if I use it at all, I should take it only as needed for appetite suppression (like half a pill every one or two days). I looked it up online, but I can't find any good reviews from people who are similar to me...
I'm 24, not obese, just a little overweight by about 15 pounds. I would love to work out more, but travel a lot which is tiring, and I spend most of my time sitting in front of the computer. However I do watch what I eat, I try to keep my calories low but seem to have reached a plateau in weight loss.
What I'd like to hear is some feedback from people who really used phentermine and had a similar situation/body type. I am just trying to see if it really works, and if the side effects outweigh the benefits. (if my doctor offered it, it should be safe, right?)
