I started phen a couple of weeks ago and have experienced some of the same symptoms. The nausea and cramping went away after a few days. I still notice the blurred vision a little, mostly if I am driving at night, but the doctor said that is normal. Because phen is a stimulant, there are going to be side affects but there hasn't been anything so bad that I have wanted to stop taking it. Make sure you eat breakfast before you take your pill and drink a lot of water. That will help with the cramping. I didn't have severe crashing like you described but I have noticed that I am worn out in the evening. For the first few days, I was sky high until midnight and had a hard time sleeping. Now I feel drowsy by 9 and have no trouble sleeping. Give yourself a few days to adjust and make sure you are eating a balanced diet. Eat small amounts every couple of hours and drink drink drink water! Good luck to you and be sure to check with your doctor if you think something is wrong or if the side affects are outweighing the benefits.
