Phentermine Anyone Have Strange Side Effects? (Page 16) (Top voted 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 :)

I asked my Dr if I could start taking them. I even spelled it to him, but he said never heard off it and couldn't find them on his computer, so please someone please give some HELP, of where I can get a prescription for these from. I live in South East Kent (Dover). Thank you.

Google up weight loss clinic. Or weight medic clinics. They will prescribe it, but it's too much for my budget. I personally prefer generic. Not planning to take this more than 3 months max. I am 190lbs with low blood pressure, hoping to kick start my weight loss journey.

I just started a week ago. Its been helping me. Eating less I have energy and no side affects. Definately consult your doctor so he can change your doze or give you a new med.

I have been doing the same thing. Why is that? It feels like my teeth have plaque on them nonstop.

I started phen on may 14th . On yesterday sunday the 27th I had the scare of my life. Before this day I had little to no side affects. I was talking to my boyfriend and it went down from there. I couldn't catch my breath, when i got up i was so dizzy. I went to the emergency room right away. My heart rate was super high. It kept going down and up. The highest it got was 176. Of course my anxiety from not knowing what was going on made this 10x worse. There is no words I could say to describe how my body felt. Its like I had every side affect there was in such a short time frame. I was scared for my life. Last night I slept but my anxiety was really bad which caused me not to get good sleep and to keep waking up scared something was happening. Im so glad I found this thread to see that Im not alone. I do feel like I've loss weight but I have weighed myself but my clothes fit differently so I know it was some progress. Right now im still jittery but Im just waiting on this stuff to get out of my system because it definitely NOT worth the horrible feeling I had. Horrible. I can do it without the pill because honeslty you still have to have self control while taking it. They say never say never but NEVERRRR again. Like the old saying goes " different strokes for different folks" this is most certainly not mine. I'd rather do it the right way and keep my peace of mind. Be careful and listen to your body.

Has anyone ever used the following combination of drugs and are there serious, possibly lethal side effects with them? One Adderall IR (Teva) 30 mg, Phentermine 37.5 about an hour later, Lisinopril/HCTZ 20/12.5, one Metformin 500 mg.

Re: J (# 15)

I’m experiencing the same side effect on day 1. Did you ever find out if it was just a normal side effect?

Re: J (# 15)
I too have been on the 37.5 dosage of phentermine and have lost 35 pounds in 6 months. After I pee but not all the time I will have semen leakage. My doctor thought I may have had a prostate infection and even had me take an antibiotic for 30 days straight but after reading your post I would say it’s the medication for sure! I will let my doctor know.

Hi Jen yes I have taken phentermine as well. I had subtle side effects like feeling very antsy. But I never got headaches sounds like your dosage is too high. But you must drink plenty of water throughout the day. No matter how not hungry you are you have to eat whether it's fruit or finger foods like cheese sticks,or. cubes. Or a simple sandwich. That will prevent your headaches. The side effects will subside it's only in the beginning.just take my advice and the rest will be smooth sailing.

You have to have a prescription from a doctor to get it. It is considered to be a controlled substance and you have to show a form of identification to even pick it up at the Pharmacy.

Hi everyone. I was prescribed Phentermine 30mg today and will start taking it tomorrow. I'm just a little worried about negative side effects. I have taken Dexamphetamine before with no serious problems, is Phentermine similar? Any advice please?

Re: Deana (# 184)

I know this post is old, but for anyone who needs to know in the future, Phentermine does this to me too. It's awful my tongue is so raw and I can't stop doing it.

Re: J (# 15)

Hi J! I have been taking phentermine for 3 months now and lost 20lbs. I am taking 10 mg a day. Slow and low dosage as I gain a new dietary habit. It has been very helpful! But I have this issue of semen leakage after urination! It doesn’t happen often.

I also have a little dull pain that comes and goes in my groin. Some blood and urination work done at the lab, no STIs - no prostate related issues. Only concern is hernia (waiting for my ultrasound appointment) that is possibly caused by the phentermine constipation.
