The other day we had a prescription for phentermine 37.5 mg bid. The problem with this is that there’s no reason to take much over 30 mg in a day, even if your weight loss doctor (who may have built his practice on this drug) writes for it that way. You can halve the tablets and then take it twice a day, sure. Patients and doctors alike are guilty of harboring the fallacy that “If I take more drug, I’ll get more better.” Not with phentermine, but you may get “more higher” - I’ll give you that one. This is like the pain management doc who wrote for Lorcet 5/500 – its one of the most frequent drugs the doc writes and he still screws it up. Whats the answer? E-scribing (NO)? Training wheels aka preprinted scripts? (teehee) I dunno. The dude’s got a doctorate and he has an Rx pad with his name on it – not me.
Here’s your awesome content, because I love inopportune sports pics:
