Is it ok for me to take Phentermine while on Cytomel & Levothyroxine?

My doctors suggest that I take Phentermine but im taking levothyroxine 88mg and Cytomel 5mg due to thyroidectomy 3 years ago and I have gain weight due to hypothyroidism. Have anyone tried the phentermine while on levothyroxine and Cytomel?

Seems to me that it would be far better to get your thyroid med adjusted so that it is adequate for you.   That would increase your metabolism to normal and perhaps solve your weight problem.   What, if any, other symptoms do you have?  Please post your thyroid related test results and reference ranges shown on the lab report.
