Hi Robin - would you also fax me the long-term effects article lkgwindy****.com. Thanks!!! My doc doesn't have much on long-term effects. I have been on Phen for 15 months and lost 50 pounds in 9 months on a half tab per day. Then went to a half tab 2 -3 times a week for maint. My doc has no problem keeping me on it for a loooong time as he feels being over weight is a chronic problem and needs to treated as such. But I just recently started having pain (feels arthritic) in both elbows and some referred pain on left side of arm and chest. Went to different doc and she said get off the Phen but I don;t think it is that. My EKG was totally normal and no murmers, etc. I am taking a break off phen to see if the sx's go away but anyway - enough rambling (I'm not called Windy for no reason!!!!). Thanks!!!
