Phentermine, good or bad?

Is Phentermine nothing more than a legalized version of speed. I'm hearing that it has much in common with regular amphetamines. My wife was prescribed it today for weight loss, so if it starts really working for her, I may see if my Dr. will prescribe it for me also.

    Phentermine is probably the most commonly prescribed diet pill.

    Diet pills are supposed to suppress your appetite but their success rate is very low. They are not miracle pills that perform miracles.

    I used to take them. almost a for a year. My body got used to them, and I stoped. I did loose 35 pounds. But gained 100 back. I would not take these without a doctors approval. as when I was taking them I had to have a complete blood work, and also my blood pressure taken every week so not a good idea. go see a doctor. I lossed weight without the pills just No salt! a herbs ! take care.

    I am almost 64 years old. I had a friend who was 37 at her death from taking Fen fen. I believe it is the drug you are asking about or its next of kin . No magic pill for weight loss... drug pushing doctors should be in jail
