HAVE A TALK WITH HIM UNLESS IT IS GIVEN TO HIM FROM A DR
Phentermine can cause side effects that may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be awake and alert. Avoid drinking alcohol. It can increase some of the side effects of phentermine. Phentermine may be habit-forming and should be used only by the person it was prescribed for. Keep track of how many pills have been used from each new bottle of this medicine. Phentermine is a drug of abuse and you should be aware if any person in the household is using this medicine improperly or without a prescription. (CITED DRUGS.COM)

it is primarily used as an appetite suppresant. it can also be used to stay awake for long periods of time and to increase alertness. However, it may interfere with memory and judgement for many people and is not as effective as other medications for these purposes.

Phentermine = Phenethylamine
Phentermine is a phenethylamine (a compound containing an aromatic ring, carbon chain, and amine), and structurally very similar to amphetamine. In fact, structurally amphetamine and phentermine differ by
- The orientation of the amine group on the carbon chain
- The addition of a methyl group in Phentermine
This can can be further shown by comparing the IUPAC names:
- Amphetamine = 1-phenylpropan-2-amine
- Phentermine = 2-methyl-1-phenylpropan-2-amine (*OR* 2-methyl-amphetamine)
Due to the great similarity, Phentermine can have many of the same pharmaceutical actions as amphetamine. Although Phentermine does not share CII scheduling with amphetamine under CSA, great care should still be taken when dealing with Phentermine due to its highly similar structure and action, as well as potential for abuse.

Always check with a physician/pharmacist licensed where you live before taking medication. My license does not extend past the state of my practice.

Im sure you have gotten alot
Im sure you have gotten alot of answers, but I thought I would let you know that I am taking this for weight loss... I just started it yesterday and It does make you feel high. All day yesterday I felt like I was in the ceiling. I would find out if he is using it for that reason, otherwise I don't know why he would have it unless a dr prescribed it. Even for weightloss you are only to be on it for a short time bc it is addicting. I hope this helps and I hope your outcome is a good one.
