u/Significant-Sign-787

F (30), 5'2, currently taking 10mg of methylphenidate, 7.5 buspirone (2x Daily), 175lbs.

My new PCP prescribed me 37.5 phentermine, saying that this will help with food noise. I only take methylphenidate Mon-Fri.

My psychiatrist is hesitant because both phentermine and Methylphenidate are stimulates. But my PCP said as long as I take them hours apart, and to monitor my blood pressure. I should be fine.....

However I am scared of take both and need some advice ASAP.

Am I just in my head?

I work out 3-4x a week.

Between those days I workout and I track calories intake.

Food noise is hard for me and I have an oral fixation (can chew a entire pack of gum in 2 hrs)

And I am currently in therapy
