Yes I have been taking Phentermine for over a year and it worked at first now its not, I m not losing any weight and I m constantly bloated I feel pregnant ( which I m not) I have never ever been like this the only time I ve been this size is when I was pregnant, and I ve always maintained my weight I ve never been over 135 and the past 6-12months I ve weighed 155-170. This is not normal for me ai can t stand it and can hardly fit in my clothes!! What s going on???

Hello,
I think you should get tested firstly for pregnancy. If you test negative you then can think that bloating may be related to diet issues. You should try to have fiber rich diet, lots of water and fluids in order that you can empty your bowel normally. You can even use laxatives.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
