Phentermine Anyone Have Strange Side Effects? (Page 15)

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 :)

Phentermine DOES come in 15mg and 30mg pills! I started on 15mg ones and now on 30mg ones and then there's the 37.5mg ones in the USA.

I've taken it before in the past with no issues and great results. The last time I took it was about 7 years ago. Fast forward, I've been on it for a month now and I only have one side effect IM FREEZING. I cant keep my feet and hands warm to save my life. I hate being cold, but I'm going to stick with it because I need to lose the weight. I hope this side effect lessons with time.

I was on 37.5 mg of phentermine tablets for a month did great. Last time I went to the doc wanted to try the capsule version of it. Well 2 weeks into taking capsule I started strange adverse affects like freezing feet so so tired and nauseous. Why is this can side effects come that late in maybe switching from the tablets to capsules don't agree with me ?

I have been on for 3 months, 37.5, 30, and then 37.5mg. 1st thing in the morning, Yes, I have felt this way, off and on, the entire time. Not every day, mind you, but more then not. Cloudy head, tingling feeling, cold feeling, need to stretch and bend joints (like crack knives, bend and stretch ankles). Usually in the morning and subsided by afternoon. I make sure I eat "something" 3 times a day, and drink plenty of water. I mean plenty. I have tried to pinpoint why it happens some days and not others, but I can't. I just try to deal with it. Have l0st 30lbs in 3 months.

Hi, I've been taking it for about a month now. I still have the chills and it feels like my scalp is crawling but all of the other negative side effects have gone away. I don't even have the dry mouth anymore. It did shoot my BP up for about a week but it has gone back down. Hopefully your side effects will get better.

If you don't make any changes, of course you will gain it all back. I have terrible breath, and bad body odor. Never had this till Phen. Good news? I've lost 27 pounds in 2 months. Haven't felt this good in a long time.

I just started taking this medication I literally feel like sh**. But it's when your coming down after about an hour. My doctor told me to only use it before going to the gym or to work out. But I've taken it to see how it will effect me and how I feel I don't know if I could work out do feeling like this. I've had nausea and been going #2 alot. Feel like tingles in my brain. I def don't eat on it. It's like food is gross. I'm thinkin of stopping it already.

Im in Australia, the highest dose with a MD is 40mg but an endocrinologist can prescribe higher and will monitor any side effects as well as manage these potentially with vitaminsvor other medications the first time around with my endocrinologist it took 2.5yrs to lose 15kg or 33lbs but in the most recent attempt where my head was actually properly in the game, my decision AND i actually followed a low calorie low carb eating plan I have lost 10.2kg or 22.5lbs in just 9weeks with 40mins of incidental walking excercise daily (in otherwords just normal pace walking to/frim the bus/work/home etc) I am being monitored by an endocrinologist and dietician NOT a general practitioner... there is a big difference in how you will respond to the drug when you are properly monitored AND motivated in the right way or in the right frame of mind... as the saying goes 'if you always do what you've always done, you will always get what you've always got' the pill isnt a miracle worker... its a hand up... if you dont also change your eating habits, exercise habits as well as portion sizes you cant expect to get the high end results you are after

Thanks Kim, unfortunately my Dr doesn't agree with anything as he's a ruining nut

By any chance do you have PCOS? I was like this the first time I took Phentermine. If you do this will pass after the first month. If you stop a month then take it you should feel the energy. At least that is how it worked for me.
