Phentermine, and metformin?
I was just diagnosed with PCOS a month and a half ago. There is a strong history of diabetes in my family and I have had regular bloodwork done to ensure I dont have it. Within the last two years I have gained about 40lbs, even tho my eating hasn't changed. Since being diagnosed I have started taking a half tablet of phentermine to control my appetite in an effort to lose weight. I also started taking birth control again. My doctor also prescribed taking metformin(glucophage) in addition to the phentermine and birth control. I have lost about 8 pounds in the last month since taking the phentermine but i dont feel like I am losing enough weight for how little i have been eating. My question is whether it would be smart to keep taking phentermine and adding the metformin also

Hi,
Drugs for weight loss cannot be taken for an unlimited period of time and need to be taken under medical supervision. Depending on your hormonal levels, the metforim should help with the PCOS. Weight loss can be achieved by a combination of dietary control and exercise.
Hope this helps.
