Phentermine Anyone Have Strange Side Effects? (Page 6)

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 :)

Alright good news everyone. For the time being she is going to write another script and i will come to her office just to monitor my progress and periodically check BP and vitals. Very excited for this change in my life and hope to keep the progress reports going! 22 lbs and counting! Good luck everyone!

Ladies the hot flashes is your metabolism jumping up, I have went thru it, but it happens when it wants to. As to when you stop taking the meds, the first time I didn't gain the weight back but the second time I did. It's hit or miss with this med.

Wow..I thought 37.5 was the highest, I would get it in a tablet form & break them in half though.

It will work!! I didn't see any results either the first month.By the 3rd however I felt great and it just kept falling off!!!! The headaches and insomnia were horrible BUT... My doctor gave me a stronger headache medicine (but I do suffer from chronic Headaches) But for insomnia I swear by melatonin!!!!!!You Can get it at ANY store.Its ALL NATURAL and your not sleepy when you awake. It comes in liquid, melts, and pill form.( no side effects either) I myself take 2/ 5mg every night. but I would see how it effects you personally .Its also a natural stress reliever. I know Walmart has it for 00.88 at 3 mg if you would like to try.

I too have been taking phentermine, 37.5 mg, for approximately a year now. I have went from 259 lbs to 198. I am a 30 year old male and I have also been experiencing semen leakage, so I know how annoying this can be. Never really had any major side effects, other then the leakage, but think this medication is great. The increased libido is making my wife hate my doctor. :-)

Hair loss - I just started taking it and it seems like my hair has changed. I would imagine that to be the case since I really was struggling to try and eat some substantive food.
My question and it appears no one really asked is about the weird taste in mouth. I have the swollen, blistered tongue as well and I will increase my water intake. My question is does that weird taste go away...makes me feel like I have bad breath. Now I am nervous about kissing. Can someone else smell it or am I worrying about too much? I am an extremist when it comes to dental hygiene. Help!
