What Are The Side Effects Of Phentermine?

Hi my Teresa Rodriguez and I ve been taking phentermine for a long time now and u have had many different side effects from this medication but most were comin side effects to be expected. I have lost the wieht and am happy with it but now I m facing something different. I recently started having issues with my eye site. My eyes feel blurry or like if I had spects of dirt irritating them from the time I wake up till I go to bed. So my question is could it be a sing of cataract from taking phentermine ? And what could I do to prevent it from happening ?

difficult to say in your case. Glaucoma, which might interact with phentermine and can be serious, or a minor cold by coincidence are the extremes of the many possibilities here. There isn't long term effects on vision from phentermine in most people. On the other hand, it isn't really a long term drug and not that many people take it steadily for even one year.
