thanks for your responses, some comments…..
the dose of phentermine I responded to was the maximum suggested dose of 90 mg. !! (the amazing part was it didn’t make me anxious or hypomanic, it completely leveled me out, and was very mellow. very strange!)
Re: phentermine as an MAOI:
I have a printout of the statement of the FDA, saying they will not classify phentermine as an MAOI, because it has MAOI action only in vitro, at very high dose, but in vivio, at clinical dosages, it is not. (I don’t have the web address, if someone is super-interested, I’ll hunt for it).Re: the suggestion of doing combined T3/T4 thyroid therapy:
Thanks, you’re right on. I’m on Cytomel (T3) now, and will be adding thyroxine (T4), as soon as I get back to “baseline”, after a bad trial on the “expensive” omega-3 supplement. (P.S.- I’ve done extensive thyroid research, anyone wanting a copy, email me).
