Spouse/Family

charlyn · 05-14-2008, 01:02 AM

When you started on Phentermine, did any of your family have doubts or questions about it all? My spouse was well supportive, we had tried working out together but that just wasnt cutting it for me. His mother was a little uneasy that I would take something to help, but once I researched with her she came around (I guess being an over protective parent carried onto me).

People I talked to were definitely uneasy. I had to convince my parents it was a good idea by printing out information from the internet and showing them. They had heard plenty bad things about the drug, specifically about addiction.

The family that I've mentioned it to just aren't thrilled about the idea. My husband thinks it's a bad idea because I experience a lot of side effects to the other medicines I take. I would probably have to stop taking them before I start taking Phentermine.

Since I just started I have avoided telling anyone. I've only recently spoken of it to my sisters. One didn't have an opinion either way and the other just asked questions and wished me luck (in a well intended way, not sarcastically).

I just went first to the people who are already a part of my support in life in general.

I have been curious to see what others issues were. I talked to my spouse about it but thats it for the most part, until his mother found out and I dont remember if that was him or me slipping up. I figure if they care they will ask to know more about it, right?
