> Does anyone know about pondimin?I have gained 50 lbs in the last year due to many different meds my pdoc has put me on trying to find the right combination. I am currently on 400 mg of wellbutrin, soon to be 600 mg and am decreasing my prozac from 40 mg to zero within the next month or so. I am now very depressed about this weight gain to the point that I don't want to see anyone or go anywhere. Any thoughts?

> JackieJi believe that pondimin, fenfluramine, was the drug that caused problems in the fen-phen combination. i also have the same problem with weight gain from the meds, 40 pounds, and i can't get it off. my doctor, after much begging, let me have phentermine, the other half of fen-phen. it would have helped me i believe, but at the time, i was changing meds and my anxiety was overwhelming. i quit the phentermine because of that.
even though my doc did not feel it was a "good idea" to give me the diet pills, he could tell how much of an impact it had on my depression.
As a matter of fact, i'm going to the doctor today to discuss going back on the phentermine now that i am "stabalized". i know how you feel, talk to your doctor and let him know how you feel.
good luck
