weight loss
"I took Phentermine and ended up with open heart surgery...I had success with the drug but eventually developed fluid around my heart which turned into a gel causing my heart liner to be glued to my heart and I couldn't breath and it took 2 months for the doctors to find it because my EKG and oxygen levels were fine, I went to the emergency room and an MRI found it right away, they had to do open heart surgery and peel my heart liner off my heart. I was exercising and was the healthiest I had been in years, running 6 miles a day and riding my bike 20 miles and all of a sudden I just couldn't breath and was so tired. Now 4 years later I can not run or do any aerobic type of exercise because I get to out of breath. STOP taking this drug!!!"
