Is Taking Pristiq Advisable Along With Phentermine?

I am 5 1 . I weigh 205. I was around 110 pounds until taking paxil, lexapro and now changed to prestiq. I want to get to 130 lbs. Can I take Phentermine with the pristiq? Long ago I had good luck with phentermine for loosing weight, but it also boosted my mood & energy. Do these drugs interact well?If I quit the pristiq, and just take the phentermine, will my depression subside as it did 20 years ago

Phenteramine is used in obesity for short time along with diet and exercise. but now you cant take phenteramine as it is contraindicated in patients taking pristiq.you have to take advise of a qualified psychiatrist to stop pristiq as they may prescribe an alternative drug for it.regarding weight loss it should not be sudden and it should as natural as possible by regular healthy diet and exercise because that will sustain in long run. weght reduction will not happen solely on drugs.also stress in mind will cause harmone release in the body that will lead to obesity. yoga with meditation will help to reduce stress.
