Adipex-P

Adipex (phentermine) is a prescription medication that you are supposed to take if you have been diagnosed with obesity. This diagnosis means that you will need to eat less and exercise more, while Adipex is aimed at helping you reduce the food craving and do with less food without feeling miserable. If you experience discomfort after taking Adipex for quite a long time or at high doses ad think you need a dose adjustment, talking to your health care provider is the first thing that needs to be done. There are some symptoms that can indicate you do need to take a lower dose of this drug – including personality changes, hyperactivity, insomnia, irritability, and certain skin problems. Talking to your doctor before starting your treatment is very important, as this is the best way to determine the safety of Adipex for your particular case. Make sure you tell your doctor abut any drugs you are taking, such as paroxetine, trimipramine, clomipramine, escitalopram, doxepin, nortriptyline, imipramine, desipramine, oral insulin medications, oral diabetes drugs, amoxapine, sertraline, fluoxetine, protriptyline, high blood pressure medications, fluvoxamine, or amitriptyline. There are other drugs that can cause interference with Adipex – and you need to report them as well. Making a list of the drugs you are taking at the moment will make it a lot faster. Also remember to mention to your doctor any health conditions you have ever been diagnosed with, including a thyroid disorder, a history of drug or alcohol abuse, an overactive thyroid, arteriosclerosis, diabetes, seizure disorder, high blood pressure, any anxiety disorder heart disease, agitation, or glaucoma. Some of these health conditions will require a dose adjustment, while in other cases you will need to have additional tests done and your health care provider will be monitoring you for side effects. It’s important to know the difference between mild and more serious side effects. Diarrhea, trouble sleeping, dry mouth, constipation, headache, dizziness, nervousness, and itching are obviously mild side effects that in most cases go away without any need for your health care provider to interfere. However, more serious side effects are also possible, although they are not too frequent. You need to contact your doctor as soon as possible in case you get any of the following serious side effects: restlessness, unusual thoughts, unusual behavior, uneven heartbeat, rapid weight gain, swelling, shortness of breath, or confusion. Overdose symptoms can include irregular heartbeat, aggressiveness, convulsions, tremors, hallucinations, lightheadedness, nausea, confusion, hallucinations, diarrhea, confusion, fainting, and vomiting, and need to be reported directly to your health care provider as soon as you can. To avoid an overdose of Adipex all you need to do is take it as recommended without exceeding the dose prescribed. Never share Adipex with other people and store it in some dark cool place to make sure its properties stay the same.
