How To Stop Prolonged Menstrual Bleeding?

I am now on my 11th day of my menstrual cycle, my periods have never last over 4 or 5 days due to being on sprintec (birth control), I started taking phentermine (diet pills) and after a week of taking them my period came a week early, and I was suppose to stop but today makes 11 days, what do I do?

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Phentermine can cause changes in your hormones also. So you might be lacking progesterone. Progesterone therapy will be helpful to stop the bleeding. A consultation with a gynecologist is well appreciated. Phentermine should be stopped after consulting your doctor also.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
I find this answer helpful
