I'm not sure where else to ask, and don't want to bring it up to my doctor without input first.

For years I've gone thru cycles of plucking my eyebrows - sometimes to the point of bald spots, but normally not. Never anywhere else.

I started on phentermine about 6 months ago for weight loss, and had no issues initially. After being steadily increased I'm at the top dose of 37.5mg/day, but I've noticed since beginning this dosage I've begun to pluck at my beard - mostly around the chin/jawline. I mostly do it when I'm bored at work, but I've also found myself doing it while driving or anything I'm not actively doing something else.

I'm not sure if there's a correlation between the phentermine and the plucking, or if I've just moved from eyebrows to beard for whatever reason (I don't really do eyebrows at all anymore, but on rare occasion).

Has anyone else experienced or have any input?
