Phentermine is basically the “get it off” drug. It’s a prescription appetite suppressant, usually handed out for short-term weight loss—like, “help, I’ve tried everything and my fridge keeps staring at me” levels. Think of it as a stimulant that tells your brain, “Hey, food is boring, go do something exciting instead.” Works great, but only for a few weeks before your body gets wise to the trick.
It’s a sympathomimetic amine (just try saying that three times after coffee), meaning it revs up your central nervous system. You feel less hungry, more fidgety, and maybe a little jittery—like you’ve had four espressos but with fewer coffee stains. Side note: If you hate the feeling of your own heartbeat, maybe skip this one.
