Is it true that 'diet pill' Phentermine is no risk to people of normal weight? Good for Fibromyalgia?

Is it true that 'diet pill' Phentermine is no risk to people of normal weight, i know many women and celebs take it with no risk ( as long as it's taken for under 3 months only)?

I have a stone I need to shift (it will make thing easier on my joints the doctor said) and I can't get rid of it because of my fybromyalgia and problems doing heavy cardio- my heart checked and is fine, am healthy and walk and swim. Was reading this http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/710340.stm It says it was banned in europe because of fears it could cause heart disease in people - with bad hearts/ obese people? I think banning Phentermine is a bit lazy of the NHS and Europe as it means doctors don't have to be supervised so much to who they give it to, any one with heart issues shouldn't be given it, that was the problem- controlling it, so easier to ban it. That's my opinion.

Is it pretty safe for sensible, healthy, mentally stable people though? I can't find much online so point to links if can?

I heard Phentermine also helps Fibromyalgia (helps serotonin levels) as a bonus, doctors used to prescribe it for this- anyone any experience of this?

1. no it won't help fms...it may act as a stimulant for the fatigue but there are safer choices

no matter how much doc supervision--it can kill you
