i hope this is gets people attention and read what im about to say. i was taken phentermine to help me loose weight. i started noticing i was having problems with my eyes. at first i thought maybe my eyes were tired. then started to think maybe my glasses all of a sudden wetn bad and needed to get my eyes checked and get new glasses. i went to my regular doctor to be weighed and check my bloodpressure. my bloodpressure was very high and my doctor told me to get off the med right away becaise my bloodprssure was dangerously high. i have never in my life had problems with my bloodprssure. my regular doctor did blood work and did an ekg everything was fine. i went to get my eyes checked by a regular eye doctor i had seen before. that is when i realized how bad it was when my right eye is covered i cant see out of my left eye. i can see light and movement but i need to read something i wouldnt be able to do that. i went to an eye specilist and have been diagnosed with an eye disease. the eye disease i have you get these symptoms. one of the treatment for this is eye disease is to get hard contact lenses. i went back to the specilist to see about getting hard contact lense. put the lense in both eyes with my right eye i could do the test when doing my left eye there was no difference at all and there should have been some difference. even though the lense used was just for testing and not the right lense for me there should of been a difference. i need to see a neurologist to find out what else is going on other than just the eye disease. this has been a nightmare for me and if i had known the med would done this to me i would have never taken it. i hope no one else has to go through what i am.

Wow that sounds like really serious stuff. It just goes to show that diet pills arent worth taking, and it is better to follow and healthy diet instead,.

quite a few yra ago i took something prescribed from the doctor and had no problems. i have done the otc stuff and made me feel weird so thought getting something from the doctor would be better and wasnt going to take for long period of time just for awhile. now i am doing salad and fruits and i wish i had done that from the beginning instead of phentermine. i have been to 2 specilists and still cant find out what is else going on. i hope going to neurologist they can tell me and whatever it is can be treated and not damaged for the rest of my life.
