> I took fen phen for over a year for TTM. Now I read of adverse side effects for dieters. I took a much larger dose than for diet and I took it for over a year. When I asked my medical doctor if I should be checked for problems she stated no it was not a big deal.

A big deal. Look on the internet and you will see.
Long term, stims don't work for weight loss, in fact most gain back more weight. I have been on Dex for years, and now gain weight on it. Stims seem to be best used in people who have lots of weight to lose, and only to jump start things.j
