Phentermine Anyone Have Strange Side Effects? (Page 10) (Top voted first)

Updated

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 :)

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!!!

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?

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 :)

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 most likely your thyroid. U need iodine. Take that with potassium. Also see a Dr and get your thyroid tested. Phentermine made my normal thyroid hypo when I quit taking it. Bruising easy is a sign of low iodine levels.

Dark circles under the eye is a sign of kidney issues. Drink at least a gallon of water a day (or more)

Hi. I used to take those meds and those symptoms you're having seems pretty common because if you read all the comments those are the symptoms people are having. My only symtom on phertermin was anxiety attacks and that's why I stopped taking them. I only took half a pill and I didn't stay on them long. I also got dry mouth which gave me horrible breath. If you're taking 37.5 mg try cutting it in half. Stop taking it if your symptoms worsen.

Hi Minnie
Do you get any side effects with the meds at all. Does the fruits and veggies counter act the side effects?

tried 37.5 also and very unpleasant side effects. GP switched me to Belviq and no side effects in fact slept better and lost desire to smoke too. Down 11 lbs in 3 weeks from 256 to 245 and completely quit smoking. Feel amazing!

I started taking this Thursday and have lost six pounds. I suffer from migraines and found it actually helped my headaches go away. Only side effects I've really had is sweating (ugh) and dry mouth (frequently). I don't mind the dry mouth as this gives me a better excuse to drink more water than I ever did before. I find that I'm actually making healthier choices of eating too. Although I do feel hunger at times during the day BUT it doesn't take much to fill the void. I'm eating about a third to half of what I ate before. The only thing left is for me to do is start exercising as I know this is a kick start for weight loss not a continuous regimen.
I also suffered from being tired all the time. I get anemic from time to time. So being that this helps with lethargy I'm benefiting in many ways. This drug has not affected my sleep patterns but has improved them. I'm looking forward to losing more weight and have found that I no longer really want sweets either. All around I'm happy with the results thus far. I hope this helps others as it has helped me.

I had great results first 3 days with my appetite being curbed...now I want to eat just as I normally did. So frustrating... I dont eat just tons but I do snack..still eating a bit smaller meals and nothing after 6pm. My question is..will I still lose weight if I keep eating as I was before..I thought this is to curb my appetite. I did talk to a lady that said she never changed her eating habits but lost weight anyway. My energy level had been up...but today I'd love a nap. I'm not like most people..meds do not work the same on me as they do others..I'm having no side effects and I sleep fine. Any thoughts??
