It is possible that you will experience Adipex side effects
after first initiating your diet drug regimen. Adipex side
effects might include blurred vision, dizziness, dry mouth,
sleeplessness, irritability, stomach upset and constipation.
Adipex side effects may occur during the first few days of
your weight loss program because your body may require an
adjustment to the adipex prescription dosage. If adipex side
effects persist or become bothersome, inform your doctor
especially if you experience chest pain, nervousness, a pounding
heart, urination difficulty, mood swings/changes, breathing
difficulties, or swelling. If you feel dizzy or lightheaded,
avoid driving or engaging in activities requiring alertness.
If you notice other Adipex side effects not listed above,
contact your doctor or pharmacist immediately.
Again, we recommend that you relate your complete medical
history to your doctor especially if you experience high
blood pressure, an over-active thyroid, glaucoma, diabetes,
or emotional problems. Specifically, Adipex diet drugs and
diet drugs of its class are sympathomimetic amines with activity
similar to prototype drugs used in the treatment of obesity,
such as amphetamines. Again, side effects include central
nervous system stimulation and elevation of blood pressure.
Are Adipex Side Effects Harmful?
Adipex side effects can sometimes occur unintentionally because
diet drugs are habit forming, like amphetamines, and must
be used with caution. Adipex diet drugs are not meant for
long term use. They are part of an overall diet plan that
in the long run must give way to exercise and a healthy
eating lifestyle. Alcohol can increase unwanted and unintended
Adipex side effects, i.e., dizziness. Limit your
intake of alcohol while taking Adipex. If you can, try
to avoid using alcohol at all. We’ve always been
on the conservative side in combining alcohol with a weight
loss plan. We just prefer not to. Keep Adipex diet drugs
out of the reach of children. They're not recommended for
use by children, especially those under the age of 16 years.
Consult your doctor or pharmacist for further information
about side effects as they relate to Adipex diet drugs. They should be used only when
clearly needed during pregnancy but make sure a physician
has given you instruction first. If you’re
pregnant or plan to be pregnant, know that Adipex diet
drugs can be excreted into breast milk thereby possibly passing
along the danger of Adipex side effects to the
nursing child. Your physician may ask you to cease nursing
your child or to cease the Adipex diet drug regimen. Again,
consult your doctor before breast-feeding if you’re
on a regimen of diet drugs.
Inform your doctor about all the prescription and nonprescription
medicines you currently use and have used. Gather as much
weight loss information as you can. Serious Adipex side effects
may occur if you use high blood pressure medicine, MAO inhibitors
(e.g., furazolidone, linezolid, phenelzine, selegiline, tranylcypromine)
or any other weight loss diet drug. It is especially important
to inform your doctor if you take any of the aforementioned.
Avoid stimulant drugs that may increase your heart rate such
as decongestants or caffeine. Decongestants are commonly
found in over-the-counter cough-and-cold medicines. Do not
begin or halt a program of Adipex diet drugs without first
consulting your doctor or pharmacist.
Adipex side effects will most likely occur if you overdose
on your prescription. If you overdose on Adipex diet drugs
or if overdose is suspected, immediately contact your local
poison control center or emergency room. Adipex side effects
as they relate to overdose may include restlessness, fever,
fast breathing, dizziness, confusion, hallucinations, panic,
paranoia, drowsiness, convulsions, unconsciousness, unusually
fast or slow heart beat, headache, nausea/vomiting, diarrhea,
stomach pain, pale or flushed skin, chest pain, sweating,
muscle weakness, agitation, large pupils, and delusionary
behavior. In addition, make sure to report to your physician
any other adipex diet drug side effects you are experiencing
such as nervous system disorders, gastrointestinal disturbances,
hives, and changes in libido. Again, Adipex diet drugs are
in the same class as amphetamines so abuse may lead to intense
psychological dependence and severe social dysfunction.
Adipex diet drugs should not be taken by patients with arteriosclerosis,
cardiovascular disease, and moderate to severe hypertension.
Adipex side effects have been reported but only when the
active ingredient, phentermine, was combined with fenfluramine.
Primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH) and cardiac valvular
disease have been reported in patients receiving a combination
of phentermine and fenfluramine or dexfenfluramine. The possibility
of an association between PPH and the use of phentermine
alone cannot be 100% ruled out but the FDA basically blamed
the cardiac valvular disease on the drug combinations. So,
as a course of action, do not mix the two drugs. For more
information on the history of phentermine and fenfluramine,
read Weight Loss
and Diet Drugs.
You should not take your Adipex
prescription if you have been unsuccessfully treated
with Phentermine diet drugs. Also, if you do decide to purchase
Adipex online, make sure to consult with your doctors
and physicians first. Understand your body and become familiar with
all weight loss diet drug options. |
