Can Duromine Can Be Taken To Lose Weight Which Is Gained By Intake Of Neomercazol For Hyperthyroid?

Hi I was diagnosed with hyperthyroid in July 2013 and neomercazol was prescribed for me by the doctor. I took it for 3 weeks after i was released from hospital and stopped taking it completely coz of the weight gain. I lied to my doctor and said i was still taking it and whenever he did blood tests everything came back normal, am I cured?The doctor wants to do a scan but i cannot afford that and have to save up for it but in the mean time I want to start taking duromine to lose the weight i gained then from a size 28 to 32, just to get to my normal size.

Hello.Phentermine is an amphetamine derivative.
Take phentermine is contraindicated in people with hyperthyroidism because phentermine intake increases the symptoms of hyperthyroidism (palpitations, increased heart rate, nervousness ...).In addiction proper diet,in my opinion fluoxetine (which inhibits appetite) can be taken for treating your weight gain.
Please consult your local doctor for a prescription.
I wish you good health.
