The reasons for not mixing the two drugs was clear years ago. Phentermine is no longer prescribed in Canada and I would like to know why. I have M.S and there is not much out there to help me battle the fatigue I used to take 1 capsule of phentermine and when they removed it the doctors were forced to find alternatives for me 3 different drugs to replace the one. I want to know why it was banned I have never been told or read anything that gives a reason to take the drug off the market

As long as I can delete it . . . .its the viruses that piss me off. I’m a long way from a chemist, but I play one, on TV. Actually,. I believe the ephedrine sysnthesis is wrong. Ephedrine is methamphetamine, with an extra -OH molecule that prevents it from getting past the blood-brain barrier. Bathtub chemists knock that molecule off with a variety of methods, but the end result is always methamphetamine. Dextroamphetamine sulphate (dexidrine), and the other amphetamines, are more complicated, and use a different method .. . .I can’t swear to that, but I’m pretty sure . . and thanx for the anti-spam tip.

Coca-Cola used to have a smidgen of cocaine, that’s why it was so damned popular, and thirty-five years ago when I was a long haul trucker we all knew the truckstops that sold our favorite little pills out by the tire shop or somewhere. I was a happy trucker, blowing out radio speakers and smoking about a pack of Pall Malls every hundred miles or so. But then I’d want to pop one or two when I didn’t have anywhere to go, and then I took a long look at some of my buddies, still young and looked like walking death, so I weaned myself off the pills and found something else to haul, something that didn’t rot if you didn’t get it from south Florida to the Hunt’s Point market (NYC) in twenty hours. And this was in the seventies, I-95 was a long way from finished.

The problem we are faced with is the drugs are being marketed and sold against the law. and yes you can get buzzing with “Ionomin”, “apidex”, chemical name Phentermine.
Johns referring to the “can span act” . in addition
In order to purchase the a narcotic in the united states you need a legitimate prescription.
The drugs that are being marketed via e-mails and they are nothing short of dangerous.
Redux was taken off the market because it was killing people.

geez, John, you’re off the mark on this one.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phentermine
It’s near impossible to get “high” on the stuff…it’s about as interesting as an antihistamine. It is, in fact, almost like one. It’s been on the market since 1959…so, not like it’s something “new”. It gives some diet help, although one wonders how effective it is, as it also has the drying effect of an antihistamine — so you could drink way more calories in liquids. It does lower the appetite. However, since most people (in our culture) are actually “habit” eaters, this doesn’t do that much for them.
I know women who take Sudafed to control their appetite, too, and women who use Preparation H as wrinkle cream. So what? We’re a vain society…if someone thinks that anything will help with them losing weight…then they’ll buy it. Lets face it, docs aren’t exactly affordable, and “talking to your family doctor” is a thing of the past.
The fact you are getting spammed with this….well, I’m sure you get the woody-inducing pills, the magic “grow bigger dick” and the boobie enhancers, and the occasional Nigerian Scam letter, too. Doesn’t mean it’s not a valid product, just means that people are trying to make money selling what they SAY are drugs, when they are probably capsules filled with dried snot.
Calm down, John. Take a chill pill.

C’mon John, spill the beans. For those of us with blogs (or about to set one up, as I am), how about some help? Could you list the top tools you are successfully using so we can avoid this kindof crap?

T’would really be appreciated.

#3 I have said this repeatedly. I get NO EMAIL SPAM. Blog spam is another matter and not under the control of my spam-fighting email system done by Marc Perkel.

At my age the quacks have me on way too many meds – drugs – bioactive substances – already. Metabolic whack-a-mole. Why people want to put this crap in their systems when they don’t have to… jeez, if you wanna get jittery, drink an extra pot of coffee.

Phen-Fen (or whatever it’s called) killed my Uncle. What we need is a virus that crawls up the IP of these spammers and fries their motherboards. We could give ‘em a Phen-Fen they actually deserve…..

I don’t think the drug delivers the euphoria that you get with pure amphetamines.
The drug came out along time ago. its structurally similar to amphetamines but not an amphetamine.

Dexi’s are DextroAmphetamine and Bennies are a trademark for amphetamine both are sulphates. The compounds are synthesized from Over the counter ephedrine. And deliver a nice euphoric high similar to Coke.
Addicts love and crave it

Amphetamines are CII narcotics and the most powerful of the class Metha Amphetamine which is a C1 Narcotic which basically means its out lawed in the USA the same a heroin which is also a C1 Narcotic.
Way too addictive…
Phentermine is a C4 class Narcotic. also a central nervous system stimulant. just not as habit forming

The other ingrediant in Phen Phen (redux) was prozac
Regardless Sale of “Phentermine” in the United states is illegal with out a prescription.
Not a good drug to experiment with.
