How To Treat Severe Periods Irregularity While On Phentermine And Adipex?

I am on phentermine. I have been for 2 months now. I have had my period twice. Exactly 7 days after my period I have this brown, sometimes clotty, discharge. I told my family doctor who is prescribing it and she says she has never heard of this phenomenon. I take my adipex daily, along with my birth control religiously. Please help.

Hello ma'am and welcome.

There are two possible causes from the provided information, your birth control or the medication you are currently on. Other than this, a uterus and inner lining of uterus abnormality needs to be ruled out. Once this is done, we can assume all the pills to be the cause for such a presentation.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
