Are these the side effects of Phendimetrazine?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I took thermogenic Phendimetrazine for two days. I am now experiencing shortness of breath and excessive yawning. I am also burping all the time. I stopped taking the medicine six days ago and, yet I am still gasping for breath and experiencing these side effects. My doctor did an EKG and it came back normal. I also want to know, will this go away? How long will it last? Could taking these medications for only two days cause permanent damage? Is this a normal side effect?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com. The symptoms described in the query are highly suggestive of the side effects of the medication Phendimetrazine, which is an appetite suppressant. It is expected that these symptoms will resolve over time, but it may take up to 15 days. It is possible for these side effects to occur within 2 days of starting the medication, and this is a well-known side effect. However, if the symptoms persist, I recommend further evaluation with an MRI of the brain and CT scan of the chest, as these symptoms may stem from brain stimulation. If you are experiencing difficulty breathing, it may be necessary to provide supplemental oxygen. If these concerns persist, I advise seeking immediate medical attention at the emergency room for a comprehensive examination.
