Anyone taking diet pill Adipex? TMI side effects inside

[spedrunner]

oh boy....

[cheeseandcrackers]

stop taking it asap

Do you have regular ovulatory cycles? It's possible that your recent weight loss has caused ovulation and/or hormonal changes that are affecting your period.

Don't take diet pills.

My mom went into liver failure a few years ago from diet pills. Shit's terrible, man.

I assume it's not FDA approved?

That stuff can be scary. Call your dr back if you don't hear from them in a reasonable time frame.

GL!

Stop. Seriously,

I learned a hard lesson a few years ago.

No, it's not. It's a controlled substance (obvs RX) that is used off-label for weight loss.

It's a prescription.

Rapid weight loss induces periods for me. I've heard of it happening for others as well.

If the diet pill is regulated by your doctor, then I am assuming you are being monitored.

Diet pills aside, I would call and go see your OB.

This doesn't sound like a side effect issue, but more of a gynecological one.

[MWOS]

were you menstruating regularly before?

do you have PCOS?

You could also call your pharmacy. They would have a good idea of whether the two might be related or not.

Before starting the diet pill, I had regular menstruating cycles (am also on BC pill) so this is very new and weird to me. Also, never had any other health issues in this regards either.

I took the pill this morning, but still haven't heard back from dr, and had called again. I am going to stop taking until I can either go in or see my OB. I go monthly to my reg dr to be monitored, and now that I think about it, I've been taking the diet pill for about a month and half. Went back after 2 weeks, and everything was fine, no side effects at all. It all slowly started after that initial follow up.

Losing weight always screws with my cycle. DD is a product of weight loss.

I would not stop taking a prescription pill that is from a medical doctor because some people on a message board told me to.

This may be one of those drugs you need to wean off of, I'd wait to hear back from the doctor.

[sergey]

My guess would be weight related too. My period will get screwed up from even a 5 lb gain or loss.

I would definitely try to go off of this pill. Diet pills scare me.
