There must be something that changes in your system when you take phen. When I started in October of 2001, it was like wow! After putting in a full day at work, cleaned house, organized closets, re-arranged furniture, my office was immaculate (down to the arrangement of the paper clips!), stayed on the computer chatting all nite - it was great! I had to go off in January because of surgery. When I went back on in April, the thrill was gone. The energy level is dramatically reduced (I still have insomnia, tho), and it does not control my appetite as well. It still works, but that rush is not there. When I reach goal, I will go off and stay off because I think a third time would be like eating candy.
