Phentermine Anyone Have Strange Side Effects? (Page 10)
(Newest replies first)

I just started taking this medicine for weight loss. I am having hot flashes and cold chills, terrible headache and a tingly head. I feel awful. Has anybody taken this and had the same reaction? If so did it pass after a few days? Gotta say this...I am not ever hungry! Like to hear from anyone that has taken this med. Thanks :)

REPORT

Started phentermine 37.5 mg 3 days ago. Dr suggested I cut the pill in half and take one in the morning (no later than 7am) then the other half at noon. So far has worked great. I am thirsty and not hungry. He suggested a low carb low sugar diet. Even though I am not hungry I make sure and have a good breakfast (turkey bacon, egg and whole wheat toast) and a salad for lunch and protein and veggie for dinner. I have had sweating by just putting on my makeup, but I figured if I can sweat just doing that I won't have to work out so much at gym. I'm using this as a boost after hitting a plateau of the same 10lb weight loss over and over.

I have the same problem when taking phentermine. I've been on it a couple of different times the last couple of years and never had the leakage until after I started taking it. Did you find out anything?

It's suggested you stop after 3 months use- then stay off for 3 months, etc. for a number of reasons that your Dr. should have reviewed with you :)

Hi guys. I lost 80 lbs in 3 months on 15 mg of Phentermine. I was 270 and now I'm 190. I feel like I'm starting to get hungry again. Should I double my dose? Or stop taking it for a little bit?

I read at one medical forum that people who take Phentermine may have problems with digesting? Is it true?

Yesterday morning I started Phen at 37.5 mg. I took it about 45 mins before breakfast and then I ate I felt totally spaced out almost immediately afterwards. I felt like I would float away. I've been urinating quite frequently. I felt the desire to take another (nit really sure why). I have eaten twice not really because I was hungry but because it was time to eat. I haven't really had any other side effects.
However, I work 3rd so I'm not quite sure when I should take it. Before I go to work I'm the evening or in the morning when I get off.
Anyone have advice???

Hi Linda, I'm not a Dr but am in the medical field. It sounds like you might have another issue. Bruising easy may be due to low iron. You might want to have your levels checked. In the mean time maybe take some iron vitamins. Hope that helps. I have been on the adipex on and off for a few years. I just got back on it a week ago . I have lost almost 30 lbs in the past three months along with diet and exercise . I got bad headaches and dry mouth also. I started drinking a ton of water ( which I wasn't a fan of but now am) and the headaches stopped. Since adipex suppresses your appetite you should take a omega 3 multi- vitamin. My aunts hair started falling out due to adipex and losing proper nutrition, which could explain the bruising and other side effects. I hope this helps and good luck in the weight loss battle!!!

I just started taking this well I only took it for one day and that's all I'll ever take. I took a half of a pill and I felt not myself at all. I had uncontrollable crying, horrible mood swings and a terrible headache. I will not continue this medicine. I will just eat healthy with a low carb, high protein diet which I tried before and had success. It takes me a long time to lose weight but it's healthier than taking this diet pill. The way it made me feel is not worth any kind of weight loss. I want to be healthy and happy not crazy and miserable. I wouldn't recommend this for anyone.

A medical doctor I was seeing while taking the 1/2 of 37.5 stuff...because I was two hours away from their clinic in Sacramento...and I in S.F....said I could just take daily the B-12 tablets...so I took the 5000 mg that dissolve under the tongue...I also too 200 mcg of chromium picolinate...I went from a tight 40 to a 33 in just a couple of months...my friends said I lost too much weight...first time in my life I had to put the breaks on loosing weight so easily...and put back on a few more so I could wear 34's...true story...this really did work so easily for me : )

....if you maybe are at the menopause time of life...maybeeee...I know of other women who started taking this or that and their menopause started kicking in...maybe. If so, check out/google Dr. Lee. Sebastopol, CA "natural progesteron cream...and Vitality Life Choice Corp., Reno, NV has 4 forms of magnesium with just the right amount of B6 capsuls...both products together helps your body to naturally produce progesterone and watch or feel what disappears : )

I thought only women have hot flashes, sweating profusely, but me too then suddenly I will get the chills and then uncontrollable shivering. I'm only on my 4th day and I lost 6 pounds. I heard the bad side effects will go away after a few days. Should I continue?

I was instructed to take one half of the 37.5 blue speckled tab daily...along with 200 mcg of chromium piclinate each day. The M.D. said I could just take B-12 tablet every day instead of coming in for shot every two weeks or whatever. The M.D. was two hours from where I lived. My sister in law and her son in law both melted away on program. I said...I'm going where you went and am going to do what you did. That's why I had to drive two hours : ) I was instructed...no cars/loading up the first two days; after two days could re-introduce carbs...about 75% less then I had been consuming; protein was 4oz to 6oz each of three meals. I would bring those fiber/protein breakfast bars with me...and only one in between meals if I was hungry and only one fruit per day. Very very important...8 glasses of water a day. Within a couple of days I was loosing about a pound per day. I went from a snug 40" and 230 lbs down to a 33" and 175 lbs within five weeks...and without any side effects...except for having to buy a new pair of jeans about every two weeks : ) I kept the weight off...stayed around 185 ish for quite a while. I'm getting ready to start the program again...and I know I will do good again. Water water water...and only 1/2 a tab...was probably doing 1,200 to 1,500 caleries per day...and did a lot of walking. By the way...I was semi homeless at that time...I was eating all my meals at McD's and TacoBell...really...no sodas, french fries...would have an apple pie once in a while. I am also semi disables, too....but nobody can really tell I am...I also take other nutritional supplements not. I'm 63...no grey hair...and still have hair : ) am told I look like I'm in my 40's or early 50's...each day I'm doing better and better...have a business I'm launching in S. F. Don't be afraid to use this...just do it because you want to be healthier and happier...Good Health To You and Yours : )
