What is phermentine used for?
Herbal Phermentine provides a way to decrease your appetite, storing fat and increase your energy level. This pill is specially formulated to help reduce the number of neuropeptide Y molecules produced in the body. It does so by releasing a neurotransmitter called catecholamines in the brain. The benefits are less hungry, so you eat less at each meal and reflecting a greater amount of weight loss.
Isn't adderall and phentermine basically the same thing?
Sort of , but by the same token they are different as much as they are alike. No I wouldn't recommend taking both simultaneously, and I really think using such powerful stimulants for weight loss is .. to put it mildly, not the healthiest way to accomplish your goal. At any rate.. simply - They are both psychostimulants. Adderall causes the brain to release Dopamine and Norepinephrine. Both cause some pleasure, but the dopamine release is what gives adderall its higher abuse profile. The phentermine is an amphetamine but ALSO of the phenthylamine class. *hence the name*. The main difference? Phentermine releases mainly norepinephrine and epinephrine. These will strongly suppress the appetite, and obviously give energy. What is missing? The dopamine and serotonin release that adderall has from a therapeutic level dose. That is the main difference. Adderall doesn't have the same level of appetite suppression as phentermine, however phentermine doesn't have the same euphoria or ADD/ADHD treatment success that adderall does. Now, in HIGH (non therapeutic) doses phentermine begins to release dopamine and adderall. So it can be abused, and is by some. Lastly, there are some individuals who are prescribed both medications. In these individuals they are (or should be) monitored on a regular basis to ensure the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system aren't causing an cardiovascular, mental, or other general health problems.
Muscle twitching, Severe Fatigue, joint pain, and weight gain?
" I have been checked for thyroid issues, ........................................... Everything comes back normal." Do NOT count on that! Thyroid disease is missed more than found. Three reasons: 1) not checking for antibodies; 2) going by wrong TSH 'normal' range; and, 3) not listening to symptoms. You need testing for thyroid ANTIBODIES as well as TSH. TSH ‘norm’ should be .3 – 3 (w/ most feeling best at < 2, like maybe ONE) but, for diagnosis, may not mean much if ANTIBODIES are present which is indicative of Hashimoto’s Autoimmune Thyroiditis (cycles between HYPER & HYPO at start)…it is the main cause of eventual HypOthyroidism but worse (...OR Graves Disease – HypERthyroid from beginning). You will have to INSIST they test for the antibodies. [anti-TPO and TgAb] They can code so that ins will pay. WARNING: Doctors seem not to want to find/treat thyroid disease. You may have to go to more than one doctor before you get the right tests, interpretation, and treatment. Best wishes. ALWAYS GET COPIES OF YOUR LABS.

I accidentally took a dose of levothyroxine at 10 pm. I had taken my normal dose this morning at 7 am. Should I be worried?
I strongly advise contacting your medical practitioner, e.g. pharmacist, doctor, nurse, regarding medication questions, as there can be factors not apparent in these sorts of questions.As general information: The half life of levothyroxine is about a week. What that means is that with daily dosing, there is very variation in the blood levels of the drug on a day to day basis. Over the span of a few hours, even less. Typically, with changes of dosing, doctors will wait several weeks before checking blood work to see the effect. In addition, while doctors do shoot for a somewhat narrow therapeutic range, that is largely because of chronic effects. The range for acute toxicity tends to be broader.What all this means is that common advice if you discover you have missed a dose the same day that it was missed, is to go ahead and take it a few hours late. Likewise, if you have taken a dose a few hours early the previous evening, then just count it as the next day’s dose.Of course if you are feeling ill or are having problems, one should seek medical advice directly with your practitioner in your area.
How long does it take for effexor withdrawal to start after the last dose?
There is no predefined limit.Some people notice withdrawal symptoms beginning before their next dose is even due—that means within less than 24 hours, or less than 12 if someone is dosing twice a day and likely metabolizes Effexor pretty quickly. Sensitivity may also depend on context and dose or drug history.Some people notice withdrawal symptoms within the first 1–3 days. This can mean a fairly sudden crash with several symptoms, or a gradual increase in symptoms and symptom severity. Different people experience different things—and different symptoms or sets of symptoms.Some people only notice withdrawal symptoms many days out. There are various reasons why this may be, and it is not particularly understood why withdrawal happens, why some people have more or worse symptoms than others, or why particular time-tables and durations of withdrawal occur.In uncommon cases, weeks or months may pass before symptoms appear. While this may not always be withdrawal proper, even if they are drug effects, it is hard to separate post-discontinuation effects from withdrawal syndromes if the symptoms are exactly the same in many cases. Withdrawal syndrome is usually missed or misdiagnosed, and having a longer period between dose changes or full discontinuation and the onset of visible symptoms heightens the risk of doctors screwing someone over.Not everyone experiences withdrawal symptoms from the same changes in dose, dose timing, or drugs. Additionally, the same person may find their response to one dose reduction different from their response to a different dose reduction of the same amount (like 10mg) or relative amount (like 10% of the previous dose). Dose responses and withdrawal symptoms are not linear in nature—they can be exponential or even cyclical, so making sense of things is generally impossible to do except in an individualized, observation-based manner.
