I have been taking Phentermine 37.5 for 1 1/2 years and I stopped taking it. At first I slept for 6 days not I am angey and depressed. Crying all the time with panic attacks and scared feelings as well as sleeping issues. I got mine from a weight loss clinic who explained to me it is not the phentermine causing any of this. I feel like a different person snapping at my family who tells me I am different now also. DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW LONG IT CAN LAST? Am I crazy did anyone else experience any of these issues. Thank you

Hi!  Phentermine can be really dangerous to your health if you're abusing it.  The main problem would be the effect on your heart, I think, especially if you are also overweight.  I suggest getting honest with your doctor and getting him onboard to help!

Best of luck!
