Is It Safe To Take Diet Pill While Going Through Deaddiction Of Opiod?
Hi. I attend a methadone clinic daily for opiod addition in which I am doing very well. I am currently in the midst of designing a weight loss plan for me. My doctor is thinking about starting me on the diet pill phentermine. Will my methadone clinic allow phentermine while I am still going there?
No, they will be upset by it since it will light up as amphetamine. Furthermore, while phentermine is among the most effective weight loss medications, it only works when it is taken and the weight rapidly comes back after it is stopped.
