REPORT

Did anyone respond to this post? I'm experiencing very dry mouth - no matter how much I drink and my tongue has little blisters on the tip. I know it's from the medicine because they went away when I stopped taking it for a bit. I love the suppressant effect but not the sores on my tongue

Sandy, it is normal to experience what you are. They call it cotton mouth. It does go away. Be patient. :)

I've decided it must be dehydration and it's unique in it's symptoms to the individual. Drink LOTS of water. It should get better.
I am having some issues sleeping through the night when I take it every day so I have to skip a few days and only take a 1/2 a pill.

I think side effects vary. I've stopped taking it because of sores on my tongue and waking up in the middle of the night and can't go back to sleep. I was told I'd get used to it but didn't.

One of the "Serious" side effects is swollen tongue/allergic reaction. You should stop taking it immediately! It's not for everyone.

"COMMON side effects when using Phentermine:

Bad taste in mouth; changes in sex drive; constipation; diarrhea; difficulty sleeping; dizziness; dry mouth; exaggerated sense of well being; headache; impotence; nervousness; overstimulation; restlessness; sleeplessness; upset stomach.

Seek medical attention right away if any of these SEVERE side effects occur when using Phentermine:

Severe allergic reactions (rash; hives; itching; difficulty breathing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue); bizarre behavior; chest pain; fainting; fast heartbeat; pounding in the chest; shortness of breath; swelling of the legs and feet; tremor."

I have been taking phentermine for just about 2 weeks and have lost nothing. My dr. Told me to take 1 pill and work up to 2 pills a day. I'm 5'9" 220 lbs. I think I'm drinking enough water. I'm watching my food intake as well as my carb in take. What am I doing wrong? Could my period being do have something to do with it?

I have been on phentermine for 1 1/2 months I have lost 20 lbs, have more energy. The first week was dry mouth and foggy thinking but now , I can concentrate more than ever and actually believe I can live without over eating. I dont think about food as a stress reliever. I hope it keeps going and I stay at the lower weight after my 3 months is up.

do you have to go on it every year? Did you crave food after your 3months were over? I hope not.

It's probably not working anymore. The recommend time to take Phentermine is 3 months because your body becomes immune to it. You can stop taking it for a few months...and then get back on it. It should start working again. It's a dangerous drug and shouldn't be taken that long. It should be used to help jump start weight loss in conjunction with proper diet and exercise. You will most definitely gain the weight back if you depend on these "forever."I lost 45 pounds in 15the weeks on this. Did not take after the 3 months. Proud to say I've kept every pound off with diet and exercise. I just NOW got back on them after 7 months of not taking it as a MAINTENANCE pill. Don't want or need to lose weight, just to get my cravings for food under control again. Good luck! It's a GREAT weight loss pill if taken properly! (:

I definitely agree that you must drink plenty of water while taking this drug. I've only been taking it for 2 days and today I only ate one can of tuna. The roof of my mouth hurt and burned so badly I had to force it down. I did not drink my water today like I did yesterday so it must have dehydrated me. My magnesium is always low and I've heard that can also be a contributing factor. Lesson learned, drink your water!

I have been taking Phentermine for 4 days now. My energy has increased but I can't sleep!
I also take 5 mg Bystolic for high blood pressure which also effects my sleep to some level. Very little appetite so far but very thirsty. I have been drinking 3 yes 3 liters of water a day. I also excercise at least 1 hour a day.
I am only taking 15mg phen and was wondering if anyone else lost sleep?

Yes, I had both of those symptoms. Sleep is very important to me. I had to stop taking it. It also made my tongue sore, maybe due to the thirst. I went off it to make sure the symptoms were due to the medicine. I started taking it again and the symptoms returned. I really want to lose weight but I can't tolerate this medicine.

The tongue, throat, & mouth pains are caused by involuntary sucking and movement in the mouth. I have taken phentermine several times and this ALWAYS happens. I actually only needed to lose 12-15 lbs for my wedding, and I never lost a single pound! I took 37mlgs a day!!

I looked up the symptoms and your message popped up. I have been on it for a month now and this past week I have developed a bluster on my my tongue. Very uncomfortable. Not sure why. And why weeks later. I have lost 25 pounds though.
