Last month I asked my Doc (ARNP) for some help getting my weight loss kick started again, so she put me on Phentermine (?) - it hasn't done any good, and to top it off, I found out yesterday when I went back in for the 30 day followup, that Phentermine is CONTRAINDICATED for people that take meds for High Blood Pressure...it's no wonder the woman was let go for "poor performance"...but the Dr that I saw yesterday was also surprised that my pharmacy actually filled the prescription! - guess i'll have to ask them next time I'm in the pharmacy, and see what they have to say. Anyway, even watching what I've been eating, and going to Curves 2-3 days a week, the weight hasn't changed. I'm being referred to a woman in the clinic that deals with weight loss, counselling, exercize, etc, so we'll see what my insurance says about what they'll cover for me to see her, and take it from there. on the good side, my weight hasn't gone up,. so I'm happy with that. I had blood tests for vitamin levels, specifically b-6 and b-12 (need to find out exactly what those levels do), so when I go back next week, we'll see what she has to say.
