Thanks for the query.

Phentermine is a drug having appetite suppressing effect.. that is how it helps in reduction of weight.It is not known to have any effect on menstruation / irregular vaginal bleeding .
THe The uirregular menses with spotting you have seems to be due to a possible hormonal imbalance along with overweight..& they are -- thyroid problems or PCOD.
You should consult a gynecologist for physical examination & investigations ( USG, thyroid function tests )to pin point the cause of such spotting , followed by specific treatment.
