Hello!

Welcome on HCM!

Regarding your concern, I would explain that alcohol can interact with phentermine by increasing sedation.

This interaction, can explain why she falls asleep and is hard to be waken up.

So, relax and do not worry about it!

I would just recommend not taking concomitantly alcohol and phentermine.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

Wishing all the best, Dr. Aida
