Is it normal my diet pills are giving me trouble breathing.

Four years ago I lost 80 lbs using phentermine diet pills. I stopped because I had started a third shift job and found that the hours made it hard to keep up my diet. I still had a month of the pills left and recently decided to finish them since I'm now on an earlier shift. Since taking them again for a couple of days I have developed a strange breathing issues where it's hard to take a deep breath. I think this may be an anxiety issue since these pills really heighten my stress level. I had this problem before but I don't remember it being this persistent. I know I'm going to have to stop because it's too scary and bothersome. Has anyone else had this issue?

    Phentermine can be as strong as amphetamines, and my understanding when I took them was they can be used as milder, for lack of a better word, stimulants for those on heavy amphetamine addictions, although chemically its not the same it can have a huge effect on you none the less. Be careful with those.

      This.

      I'm willing to believe anything when it comes to diet pills, especially considering that the FDA need not approve them =/

        Are you the OP? Take Hoodia. It's a herb that the African Bushmen take when they go on fasts. Works very well.

    ALL diet pills (hoodia, cocaine, even caffeine) are stimulants. The one you are taking is obviously HYPERstimulating your cardiovascular and respiratory systems. In this way you can permanently damage your heart, or even cause a heart attack. If you haven't already stopped taking them, stop taking them! And go to your general practitioner (tell him/her the truth about the pills-they don't care, they just want you healthy) Good luck!:)

    I've heard about chinese diet pills that make you lose weight without diet or exercise. Also, I've heard alot of them can kill you. (evil chinese people) Lots of diet pills that make you lose weight super fast with side effects are likely to hurt or even kill you. I would say stop taking Phentermine, it doesn't sound like it's healthy.

    Stop taking them!
    Diet pills can have negative effects on the body, they come with many side effects. Some people have even died from them. There are natural and much safer ways to lose weight. Stop taking these before something worse happens!
