Hello,

My doctor recently started me on 37.5 mg of Adipex P for weight loss. I gained alot of weight since having the i131 radiation pill and becoming hypothyroid. I tried working out, swimming, and dieting and nothing seemed to work. I am also taking 1000 mg a day of metformin and synthroid. Has anybody else taken Adipex p :” title=”Question” /> I seem to be getting really bad headaches and I was wondering if these would go away in a few days or not.

Any feedback is appreciated.

Thank you.

Colette

Hi, Colette. How much Synthroid are you taking, how long have you been taking it and what do your last labs look like? (TSH, FT3, FT4)

I am wondering if taking Adipex P and Metformin is a bit much because if you are on a sensible diet, the Metformin should enable you to lose some weight. It is also very important for your TSH to be at just the "right place" for you for weight loss.

Insulin requirements in diabetes mellitus may be altered in association with the use of Adipex P . So I worry as I don’t see that as being a good combo w/ the Metformin. How high is your glucose by the way?
