[edit] Spam

Should a mention be made of the high occurrence of the word "Phentermine" in spam? Maerk 13:29, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

It's mentioned.

[edit] No Information on Phentermine Abuse?

Though I am certainly not the one to write it, there is painfully little information available concerning the unfortunate abuse of Phenterminie as a drug. Due to the fact that it is ultimately a form of amphetamine - and with its ready availability online - it would seem to me as though this drug is possibly abused in ways similar to Adderall or other amphetamine drugs. I think this important information to put out there to help prevent people from making poor decisions concerning their bodies and what they choose to put inside of them.

[edit] History

"Although Fen-Phen was never approved by the FDA the agency did approve of the drug" This quote is in the first few paragraphs. It sounds dumb and needs a changin' or clarifyin'. [[TheAngriestPharmacist]] 09:02, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] approval or not

Although Fen-Phen was never approved by the FDA the agency did approve of the drug. Meaning what? —Tamfang 21:33, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Maybe they mean that Fen was approved but the combination was never approved... This article is full of contradictions.

The most recent study was in 1990 which combined phentermine with fenfluramine or dexfenfluramine and became known as Fen-Phen.

and in another place it talks about studies in 1992. I just checked out Academic Premier and I saw studies published this year. If it's ok with everyone, I think I'm going to revamp this article over the next couple of days and add references, etc.

[edit] External links removed

Hi Jamie, I am aware that nofollow is used and that wiki links don't affect search engine rankings. I just thought that the pictures and forums on that PhenForum site would be useful and relevant. I was going to add more but didn't want to put too many links. I could write a LOT on phentermine abuse. Do you think that would be a good addition to the wiki? - Barbara —Preceding unsigned comment added by Barb399 (talk • contribs) 07:02, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
