Symptoms Of Panic Attacks And Breathing Difficulty Persist After Stopping Phentermine For Weight Loss
My wife started phentermine for weight loss about a week ago and now she is experiencing panic attacks and having a spells with difficulty breathing. She stopped taking the medicine but the symptoms are still lingering mildly. What can she do to ease the occurrences or make them cease altogether.
Phentermine is a psycho-stimulant drug and it cause anxiety symptoms. If she is not getting relief after stopping it, then give her low dose benzodiazepine after physician consultation. In benzodiazepine, she could take clonazepam that would decrease the anxiety, but for that you have to consult doctor. This drug is not available over the counter.
Thanks
