Phentermine

I've been taking Phentermine as a weight-loss supplement for 6 months.
I currently want to stop taking it, but was informed that I need to gradually come off...
My question - is there a plan that I can follow to stop taking Phentermine?
I'm open to suggestions...


thanks in advance

I honestly don't know anything about Phentermine but I wanted to say that I think it's important for you to talk to your doctor about weaning you off.  I wouldn't risk trying it on your own or based on the advice you get from strangers no matter how well meaning they may be.  Good luck to you.

I have been on Phentermine for 2 months. I had to get off of it because I thought I was pregnant (which I am not).  The nurse just took me off of it.  And I asked her well dont I need to be weaned off of this. And she told me no.  But that might have been because I was only on it for 2 months.  If I were you I would certainly talk to your doctor about that. At least run it by him that you want to get off of it.  It is an addictive drug so I am sure there can be certain twitches about it for every one.  On Thursday he is putting me back on it.  I have found it to be such a great great help! And a motivator!  

How did you like it?
