Taking Phentermine. Nausea, Blurred Vision, Sweating, Dizziness, Increased Heartbeat. What Is This?

Second day of Phentermine and only one small meal a day with large water intake. After eating small meal and drinking one beer, stood up and immediately became nauseated, sudden urge to vomit or go to bathroom. While walking to bathroom, began profusely sweating, very overheated, blurred vision, dizzy and rapid heartbeat. Someone brought me cold water and a sip of orange juice and in 10 mins all was well just exhausted. What is this?

Dear friend, welcome and thanks for entrusting your query here at Healthcaremagic!
I am Dr. Prasad Akole (Critical Care Expert- http://bit.ly/Dr-Prasad-Akole) and am glad to address to your query here.

This is nothing but an interaction of phentermine with alcohol. It caused enhanced side effect of cardio-vascular and nervous system side-effects.
takinf juice and cold water diluted it and hence the betterment.

I would advise you to strictly avoid alcohol and consult your doctor for all the precautions and interactions that are related to its use.
Do not change things on your own.
