Does Phentermine Cause The Palpitations And Tiredness With Depression?

Was curious about a medication that had opposite effect of what is expected to be a side effect (side effect may be: activating or palpitations). I experience sadness and a little tiredness. First I tried generic then tried branded thinking this would help. My doctor seemed to think I metabolize medication a little different which is why she went to the branded Rx. Phentermine

Phentermine can cause increase in heart beat and result in palpitations. It can also alter the mood and cause symptoms similar to depression. Paradoxically it can also cause excitement in some patients. It's difficult to predict which effect will dominate.
I would suggest you to consult your doctor and undergo counseling for your mood disturbance. You can ask for alternatives if the symptoms are intolerable despite it.
I hope the above information helps you. Thanks for writing into healthcaremagic. Have an awesome day and take care.
