I need to chill out. I need to get some sleep. I mean, GOD raspberry! Calm down!
I'm paranoid as fukk right now too and don't feel right. I think I'm starting to lose it. 😕 I have to call my pdoc. He's back from vacation now. I don't know if I should be on phentermine. I think it just kicked everything into high gear. I think it's making me lose my damn mind!!!!! I need to relax. I need to get seven hours of straight sleep. Oh my god! I don't feel good anymore. I feel revved up and anxious and bad and like my world has turned into a darkened dream.
So tonight I'm SLEEPING DAMN IT!
And tomorrow I'm calling my pdoc and asking him if he thinks I should be taking phentermine or not

I think you should experiment with stopping phentermine to see if you calm down and sleep. This will be a test. I feel for you. You have been on it for only a little so you should not have withdrawals from stopping.
Some very interesting data (it causing DEPRESSION and not mania, but more often mania):
Phentermine, Sibutramine and Affective Disorders - PMC
"Of the four case reports, three involved manic-like episodes. One reported that combination treatment with phentermine and fenfluramine induced psychotic mania in a patient with major depressive disorder.28) Another report described a depressive patient with a sudden onset of restlessness and flight of ideas after treatment with fluoxetine and phentermine.29) The third report was a case in which phentermine induced a manic episode in a patient with no previous psychiatric history, but who had a strong family history of affective disorder.30) Finally, Zimmer and Gregory31) reported a case of bipolar depression associated with phentermine and fenfluramine treatment, in a patient with pre-existing bipolar I disorder."
