    Yup, it was. It's considered a controlled substance.

    What a drag it is getting old
    "Kids are different today,"
    I hear ev'ry mother say
    Mother needs something today to calm her down
    And though she's not really ill
    There's a little yellow pill
    She goes running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
    And it helps her on her way, gets her through her busy day

    ETA: Maybe that was about valium. I thought it was speed, but might have been valium. Nonetheless, it is an excellent song.

    I just started on Synthyroid(generic) today, 50. I go back to the doctor in 3 months. How long was it before you started noticing any effects?

    thanks Karen! i had asked because my endo had assured me that these were not related. i am only on the phentermine temporarily until i lose the 30 pounds (now 21) that i have to lose. my mother has diabetes and since all of my excess is around my middle, it isn't just about looking good, its about my long term health. when my TSH is high, so are my triglycerides and my cholesterol and we want to be sure we keep all of that in check.
