What make Phentermine a stimulant?

What is it in Phentermine that makes it a stimulant? Is it like caffeine?

[Paplo]

It's not caffeine but it does work on the central nervous system like caffeine. It's a sympathomimetic amine. It's like an amphetamine, but not actually an amphetamine. It produced similar effects but is not as dangerous. That's how I understand it.

Me, too. All you need to know is that it effects your central nervous system so that means it has an impact on your brain function and can alter the body, such as making you feel more alert, hyper, less hungry, etc.

Do you happen to know if its worse for you than caffeine or stronger?

I think it has a stronger effect, due to the side effects it's linked to. Because of that, I probably wouldn't ingest other stimulants while I was on it without first asking my doctor if it is okay.
