Is Safe To Take Phentermine To Loose Weight For 55 Year Old?

I have a friend who doctor put her on phentermine for weight loss and she lost a lot of weight. I asked my doctor about it and was told that it wasn t good for me. I do not have any health problems at all I am 57 yrs old and weigh 266 lbs. I gained a lot of weight after an injury at work and was put on several different pills and I was unable to be active but now that I m ok, the weight is very hard to loose. What do you think about this weight loss pill.
