Ha! No. First thing is that they are two different medications and have no similarities at all. One is a stimulant (amphetamine) and the other is an appetite suppressant (phentermines). Phentermines have a maximum half life of 36 hours. Take your prescription dosage and do the math. It depends on your prescription but the longest a phentermine would stay in your system would be three weeks.

Also, since you are posting this question, you are obviously worried about amphetamines showing up on a drug test. Amphetamine has a half life of about 10 hours. If you take 60mg of, let's say, Adderall on Monday. Any measurable amount of the medication would be out of your system by Friday.

Well i was told that phentermine would show up during a drug test as a amphetamine, that's whats got me scared. About 2 or 3 days before the test i started taking my old prescription (2 years old) of phetermine again. I even took one the morning of the test because i didnt know it would hurt anything. So now im just scared. I need a job so bad.

is the bariatric clinic giving out diet pills good for you>?

Medical professionals at a bariatric clinic are under an obligation to provide you with advice and prescriptions with your health in mind. But you need to be careful when taking any diet pills, because many have later been found to be dangerous. Beware of pills that are loaded with amphetamine-type substances, like ephedra. Phentermine is a prescription diet pill that should be used with caution too. I would recommend discussing any diet pills with your regular family doctor first.


How much does phentermine 37.5 cost without insurance?

It varies from pharmacy to pharmacy. However, I found that Buehler's Buy-Low Pharmacy offers the cheapest out of pocket expense for $15 and some change. Which is for a qty of 30. I would suggest calling around and asking or simply jump online and look it up through the pharmacies websites. Phentermine 37.5 is not the true controlled and approved phentermine drug. As you travel through the Phentermine 37.5 websites the name changes to an unapproved supplement called Phentarmine 37.5. This is not the same as the drug. You MUST have a prescription to purchase the actual drug. Adipex is a brand name. Not apidex, adipexin, adapex, etc:

What is legal medicine?

Whether or not a medication is legal is specifically dependent upon the person and whether or not they have been prescribed a specific medication. Over the counter medications are legal for all people, however prescription medications are only legal when they are in the possession of the person to whom they were prescribed (on the bottle). Some medications found in one's possession can hold rather serious charges if they are not prescribed. For example, amphetamines (Concerta, Ritalin, Adderall, Amphetamine Sulfate, etc.) and opiates (Morphine, Suboxone, Oxycotton, etc.) carry especially nasty charges when found in possession of someone without a prescription.
