Phentermine Anyone Have Strange Side Effects? (Page 11)

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

I just took my first dose today 4/21/15. I was told to take half a pill for the first 2 days. I had nausea at first but it went away. I was given a healthy diet to follow and they also give vitamin shots every 2-3 days. I feel a little floaty/dizzy? but no other symptoms as of yet. No heart pounding or dry month. We'll see how it goes. I weighed in at 296 in their office.

I tried this medication for about 30 days and felt TERRIBLE the entire time. I posted a previous post about my side effects. I have since stopped and switched to using advocare. I am on day five of their 24 day challenge and i feel amazing and can tell a difference already in the way my clothes fit. Im going to stick with this and see what happens. So far i am very optimistic. Especially after the way phentermine made me feel.

I have been on adipex on and off since 2010. I always rub a certain spot on my scalp to the point that it bleeds. I've just now noticed the frequency is higher when I'm on the pill.

you will only gain the weight back (and more) if you eat like a cow. eat healthy and exercise and you will be fine. I was on it for 6 months and lost 50 lbs. its been a year and I have only gained 4 lbs since. my weight fluctuates weekly but its all diet based.

I had hot flashes first month but now on month two am having severe hives/itching all the time. Not sure if its adipex. Only way to find out is to stop taking. Not sure I am ready to do this yet but may have no choice.

Hi all, I just started taking it today. In the morning I could feel it working. Ate a little something the morning, then a small piece of beef. But then around 3 my tummy was growling. I am on 15mg right now, I thinking I want to take one more and see how that works. Any thoughts?

I've never heard of anyone taking this for weight loss..I only know of people gaining weight with it. However, some of the side effects may be bc you are taking a dose that is too high for you.

I was also having headaches but just took tylenol and that seemed to help. ..The only side effect was the severe dry mouth I could not handle...still having a hard time with this even though I stopped taking it....I am afraid to start again because of this side effect for me..but lost 5 lbs. in the first 2 weeks on the 15 mg. and just lost 4 more lbs. after stopping the medication because my saliva glands were not working...and i couldn't eat...I went to the dentist and they agreed I had no saliva what so ever...what a nightmare....

I know phen can cause excess yeast in your system. Yeast build up is a primary cause for toenail fungus. If your nails got yellow first, then it is probably a fungus from the phen.

Try taking half the dose and let your body get used to it, if it feels overwhelming. I had several of those side effects. plus I have extremely dry eyes, so watch for that. If the half dose helps for a few days thend go ahead and start the full dose again.

Hi, are you still taking Phen and topamax? Or could you share your experience with taking them together? I've been doing Phen for 10 days with the most debilitating headaches of my life. I've lowered the dose and even quit taking it from two days, but the headaches haven't let up. I've taken everything over the counter that I can think of, so I'm thinking about trying Topamax for it too. Just wondering about your experience. Thanks!

I've never heard of anyone taking 37.5 3times a day are u sure did u go back and check with your Dr maybe he made a mistake Hun.. Just doesn't seem right to me or get second opinion that's wayyyyy to much FYI in the future never ever take full dosage at once this is day 2 for me and I take at about 6:30am then about 3hours later the other half I think if u haven't done so do more research and drinking a lot of water helps tremendously a lot of water..
