Hey, I don't mean to hijack this thread, or resurrect an old one or anything, but I have a question and didn't want to clutter the forum with another thread.

Anyway, I'm a 16 year girl. I have hypothyroid disease (I take Synthroid for it), and because of my thyroid, it's really hard for me to lose weight. I don't eat junk food or drink soda or any of that. I'm actually very good with my eating habits for a teenager. I've tried exercising and going to a gym regularly, but it just doesn't seem to help me lose weight.

Anyway, I'm not terribly overweight (5'5" and about 160 pounds, a lot of which is muscle), but I would like to lose the excess body fat I've got so I can be a bit more confident about myself.

Long back story over, I've done a lot of research on diet pills, and it seems like phenterfein is the most effective. I'd really like to try it to see if it can get rid of the body fat I mentioned before. I'd really only need it to get rid of the fat, I could keep it off on my own. However, I'm concerned about the effects it'll have on my health. I am young, and the warnings for phenterfein say you shouldn't take it if you're under 18, but I really think it's the best way for me to go.

Is there anything specific I should look out for that could be a risk to my health while taking it?

Thanks for your help, and I hope I didn't bore you with my post.
