disease.

What is Phentermine?
Phentermine is a sympathomimetic amine, which is similar to an
amphetamine. It is also known as an "anorectic" or "anorexigenic"
drug. Phentermine stimulates the central nervous system (nerves
and brain), which increases your heart rate and blood pressure
and decreases your appetite.
Phentermine is related chemically and pharmacologically to the
amphetamines. The use of amphetamines and related drugs may be
associated with intense psychological dependence and severe social
dysfunction. Discontinued use may result in withdrawal-like symptoms
including extreme fatigue and depression. Side effects may also
include skin abnormalities, insomnia, irritability, hyperactivity,
personality changes, and psychosis.
