Hi welcome to the health care magic

Phenetermine usually prescribed as a apetite suppressant..

But it is prescribed for short duration and along with drug diet change and exercise should continued

If suddenly stoppage of drug done than headache, weight gain like withdrawal symptoms can occur

It is better to stopp gradually with reducing dose

Discuss with your treating doctor for gradually stopping drug
