Phentermine For Weight Loss - Not Working Now

Updated October 25, 2021

I take Phentermine, and in the past it worked but only for a short while, I don't understand why it stopped working? Is there a stronger version of this or something else I can take? I lost 60 lbs in a 2 year span and now I've gained 35 back. I'm now limited to exercise, swimming and biking, I need additional help because those 2 options don't always work. I was in a accident and I have multiple issues. I need to lose the weight because it helps reduce the pain in my legs, knees and lower and upper back. What other diet pills are prescriptions?
Thank you very much! Mandie

Hello, Mandie! How are you?

Our bodies eventually get used to anything we take or ingest for a long period of time and it will stop working, as well. The length of time can vary from person to person, but it is completely normal.

However, there are a couple new medications available that you can try, if your doctor approves. Both Contrave and Belviq are available on the U.S. market.

The FDA classifies them both as being used to aid in weight loss and there typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, insomnia, nervousness and anorexia.

Is there anything else I can help with?
