Phentermine as a Weight Loss Drug

Phentermine is a common prescription weight loss drug by physicians. Most people tend to seek out weight loss drugs that are on the counters of GNC, Walmart, and any other shopping center. However most never bother to go see a physician. Phentermine is a anorexigenic, or in otherwords an appetite suppressant. Most commonly its taken in the morning once a day, providing a decrease in appetite all day long. Phentermine is related to the amphetamine family so prescriptions tend not to last longer than 3 months since there is a small risk of addiction. The most common side effect is insomnia which is usually noticed if the drug is taken to late in the day. Caffeine should not be taken with drug to avoid overstimulating the central nervous system. This is a great a drug for anyone willing to put in three months of discplined weight loss.
