hi has anybody ever taken appitite suppresants called tenuate or phentermine and maby got a addiction to them? also can they make you depressed and irritable etc. cud really do with sum advice. thanks tuna

I took Phentermine for about 6 months some years ago. The only side effect I remember having was feeling slightly agitated and an inability to sleep soundly. This is because the drug is a stimulant which increases your heart rate and energy levels. This in turn depresses your appetite. I did not find myself depressed or irritable in any way nor did I have any problem stopping the tablets. However, like any drug, people can be affected differently.

Why are you asking?

I took Tenuate Dospan years ago, had so much energy and no appetite! was just what I wanted, BUT you need more and more to get the same affect, they are highly addictive, you also get lown and paranoid when 'coming down' I think you can only get them on private prescription now. Would not advice it though they are also bad for your hair and teeth.

Hi Tuna - It is true that these will reduce your appetite, they do this by releasing stores of sugar held into your body. Tons of coffee will do the same job. Fine in the short term, however, long term use of stimulants messes up your blood sugar control, when it dips it leads to fatigue, mood swings, anxiety and sugar craving, weight gain and not to mention dependence on stimulants. There is always a price to pay for trying to cheat the body into losing weight I'm afraid. Take care - Amara
