I’m Type 2 diabetic and am currently 271 pounds. I’m a 5’8, 26 year old male. I have heard that losing weight is the most effective way to control diabetes. My doctor has been encouraging me to lose weight. After 6 months I have not made any progress.
I went to an appointment today and I am essentially where I was 6 months ago. My doctor prescribed me phentermine to assist with weight loss. I read up on it and it is apparently an appetite suppressant similar to an amphetamine. It can also be habit forming from what I’ve read.
I’m honestly very worried about taking this medication. All I can think about is that woman from Requiem for a Dream who succumbed to psychosis from amphetamines. Has anyone had any experience with this medication?
