Adipex (phentermine) is a powerful medicine efficient in the treatment of obesity in men and women that find it hard to fight their food cravings and are therefore unlikely to achieve stable weight loss without that kind of assistance. Adipex is usually available by prescription and you will need to discuss all the aspects of your treatment before getting one from your health care provider. Make sure you report to your health care provider any of the following conditions in case of having them: heart disease, glaucoma, high blood pressure, diabetes, anxiety disorder, arteriosclerosis, problems with your thyroid, history of drug or alcohol abuse, and seizure disorder. You need to be aware of the possibility of both mild and serious side effects. Mild side effects can include vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, dry mouth, and unpleasant taste. More serious side effects can be any of the following: unusual thoughts or behavior, fast or uneven heartbeat, seizure, severe headache, fainting, shortness of breath, blurred vision, light-headedness, or chest pain. The serious side effects mentioned are unlikely to get better on their own and will need to be reported to your health care provider.
