August 2022 - #105 - All About Phentermine - The Strongest Diet Pill Available

Happy Summer to You All and Hope You are All Well

Phentermine has to be one of the most asked about subjects that our visitors want to know more about.

So as a refresher, here is a page all about phentermine.

Phentermine is a weight loss drug that has been around for decades and is still the most sought after diet pill today.

After many decades (and the launch of hundreds of new diet pills), phentermine has stood the test of time and is still the most popular diet pill sought out today.

I remember back as a kid, it was in style for many people to take phentermine for different reasons.

The two main reasons were if you wanted to stay up for long periods of time without the need for sleep (they were popular with workers such as long haul truck drivers) and for housewives who wanted to dramatically curb their appetites for weight loss.

Back then we used to call them robin eggs and sadly they were used too freely within some circles.

Robin eggs are the pills pictured below with usually blue (but sometimes pink) markings, giving them the nick name robin eggs, though I'm sure not all phentermine pills look like this.

Because phentermine actually delivers on its promise of eliminating hunger and offering a ton of energy, it’s no wonder they are still the most desired weight loss pill today. Yes, it’s true, this pill can definitely help you lose weight.

But there are many questions about phentermine including where you can get it and what are the unwanted side effects it has.

Once these questions have been answered it will be easier on each of us as individuals to make better decisions of whether this drug should be part of our lives.

What is phentermine (phentermine hydrochloride)?

It is a prescribed weight loss drug that is an appetite suppressant and is also a controlled substance. This drug binds to the receptors on the hypothalamus and works on the neurotransmitter chemicals in the brain to reduce the hunger levels in an individual. This also means it does effect the central nervous system.

It has been around for many decades and is still prescribed for helping with obesity.

It is also known by other names such as Sentis, Adipex-P and Lomaira as well as some street names such as fen-phen, robin eggs and street speed.

What does it do?

Its main function is to suppress a persons appetite while providing the body with energy.

Who should take it?

It should only be taken under your doctors advice. It can be very helpful for people who are obese and have little resources left that can help them. It can also be very helpful for people with extreme fatigue.

How should you take it?

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribes. If you miss a dose, just take the next dose at your scheduled time. Never double up doses.

This pill usually comes in a 37.5 mg. strength and is taken orally. How often it should be taken should again be decided with your doctor depending on your circumstances.

This medication works at its best when combined with a healthy diet plan and some daily exercise to get the best results.

Warnings:

Should not be taken with any other diet pills.

Do not use if you are pregnant or breast feeding.

Do not take phentermine if you have any kind of history of heart disease, hard to control high blood pressure, overactive thyroid, glaucoma or if you have any kind of drug or alcohol problems.

Also avoid this drug if you are taking any MAO inhibitors which are mainly used for depression.

This drug can be very addictive. So for anyone who battles drug and alcohol addiction, avoid this drug.

Anyone under the age of 16 should not take phentermine.

How much does it cost?

Phentermine is relatively inexpensive compared to many other diet pills and supplements. Depending on your insurance/health plan or having no plan at all, it can be anywhere between $0 -$25 dollars for 30 pills.

It’s reasonable in price because it has been around forever and is high in demand.

Where can you get it?

As mentioned above, you need a prescription from a doctor to get the real phentermine because it’s a controlled substance and can be addictive.

Beware of online scammers that say they are selling the real thing.

There seems to be several sites that claim they are selling the real thing without a prescription. Please take extra caution when on these sites. Phentermine is a controlled substance that is only available with a prescription.
