"i am a female in my early 30s who is more than 100 lbs. overweight. 
i have suffered from severe depression my whole life, and the weight gain made me borderline suicidal. 
when my doctor recommended phentermine, i was apprehensive as i have heard horror stories and was afraid it would make my depression worse.
i have now been on it almost a month, and i am so glad i tried it. no additional depression or anxiety since i am on it but i am on an antidepressant, so that is probably helping.
phentermine is controlling my appetite like nothing else has been able to do. i never realized how preoccupied i was with food before i tried it. i can now have pizza in my house and not think about it at all.
it&#039;s like my appetite is gone,"
