Phentermine Weight Loss DrugsPhentermine (the other half of fen/phen) suppresses appetite by causing release of norepinephrine by the cells. Phentermine alone is still available for treatment of obesity, but only on a short term basis (a few weeks). The common side effects of phentermine include headache, insomnia, irritability and nervousness. Since the withdrawal of fenfluramine, some have suggested combining phentermine with fluoxetine (Prozac) - a combination that has been referred to as phen/pro. However, no clinical trials have been conducted to confirm the safety and effectiveness of this combination. Therefore, this combination is not an accepted treatment for obesity.
