I used phentermine for about a month and it did totally and completely take away my appetite. It is molecularly similar to speed so it should. I liked the sense of control it gave me over my food choices. However, with my mood disorders it was not a good mix. I had (more) problems sleeping, needed more benzos to take the edge off and just decided to stop taking it. I was able to get my doc to write a RX (she will write anything) but is IS a controlled substance. Really,the companies making it say it shouldn't be prescribed to those with a history of substance abuse, eating disorders, anxiety/depression, high blood pressure...I have 3 outta 4. I stopped taking it cold turkey after a month but how in the hell would I know if I had rebound depression? Oh, and it is not Phen/Fen-that was a combo drug that caused heart valve issues.
