Prescribed phentermine for two weeks to break plateau.

Hey everyone! Looking for advice. I'm 18 female and 5'11". SW:237 CW:197 GW: 167 I have been dieting and exercising for what seems like a long time. Im currently in the process of joining the Air Force, the max weight they allow for me is 190. Then after I swear in, I have to lose even more weight in order to complete the physical requirements. I hit a big plateau 6 weeks ago and no matter how far I ran, or calories I cut. My weight wouldn't budge. I was getting worried. A race against the clock and I'm losing. I went to see the doctor. He prescribed me phentermine, an appetite suppressant. He gives a 2 week supply and I have to come in at the end for a check up. That appt. is tomorrow AM. I was 204 when I weighed in then, I'm 197 now. 7lbs in 2 weeks is great. There are a few side effects. I've spent hours and hours reading up on everything having to do with Phentermine. And I know many people look down upon this drug. I can't decide on if I should continue using it. I eat very healthy. 3-5 small meals a day. Only drink water. And I exercise. I'm not trying to use it as a band aid either. I'm just worried about time. Has any one on here used it before? Please don't bash the crap out of me.
