Is It Unsafe To Remain On Phentermine HCL Longer Than 3 Months?

I have been taking Phentermine HCL 15mg capsules since 20-JAN-14. I have been going to my doctor every month since she prescribed this medication for me. I feel like for the first time in a long time I have been able to lose weight. I have lost 25lbs since January but I am coming up on my third month of being on this medication and my doctor has indicated that 3 months is all the time you can be on this. Is it possible to be able to stay on this medication a little longer until I get closer to my goal of losing a total of 50lbs? Is it very unsafe to remain on this any longer than 3 months.

HI
Well come to HCM
Any allopathy drug if taken without extreme indication or taken for longer than the prescribe dose without the advise of physician could be danger, better to stop taking "Phentermine" this may some time cause unknown side effects, hope this information helps, have a nice day.
