What is Phentermine?

Phentermine is the most popular prescription weight loss pill.  They claim that it will suppress appetite working as an amphetamine based product.  It works for a few weeks at a time, during which patients are also counseled on healthy lifestyle changes and eating habits.  They boast extreme results, and frankly speaking, people keep going back.

History of Phentermine

Phentermine was first FDA approved in 1959.  Since then, it has gained serious popularity.  However, to our knowledge, they have not actually conducted serious clinical studies since then, even though with FDA approval, we would expect better to some degree.  This being said, its popularity continues.

Benefits

It can suppress appetite.  However, like we said, it only works for a few weeks at a time.  After those few weeks, it suddenly and abruptly stops working, which is not exactly appealing for obvious reasons.  This being said, frankly speaking, it only suppresses appetite, and without lifestyle changes, it will not produce real results at all.  It is meant to make things easier.

Possible side effects

Possible side effects of Phentermine include severe allergic reaction, rash, hives, itching, tightness in the chest, swelling of the mouth, face, lips, tongue, bizarre behavior, changes in sex drive, chest pain, decreased sexual ability, fast or irregular heartbeat, mental or mood changes, pounding in chest, shortness of breath, swelling of legs and feet, tremor, sudden and severe weight gain, bad taste in mouth, constipation, diarrhea, insomnia, upset stomach, and otherwise.

Conclusion

The side effects of Phentermine are extreme to say the least, and its results only last for a short period of time.  This would explain why so many users are actually turning to other alternatives.  They know that Phentermine works.  We know that Phentermine works.  The problem is the longevity thereof and all the side effects.  We would definitely recommend finding something else.
