Have you gotten to try neurontin?
I have taken it combined with klonopin for over 5 years and it has been a pretty good combo for anxiety. It might even take the edge off of the phentermine...dunno.I hear you...I self-medicate too. Vicodin or tramadol give me the ability to have a bit of energy and to meet peoples' eye when I talk to them.
I know that it's not a long term solution, but for now.....Is phentermine very intense? Do you think it makes you more antsy while giving you energy?
Good luck to you...

PS: I think that I, personally, have sexual problems from neurontin, but I have read post where people say that they have even more amazing orgasms with it!!!! It's a weird drug....
