I am starting my 5th week on phen. The past 2 days I have started having shortness of breath. I don't know if I should continue on it or not. I don't see the Dr. again till the end of June. I had only lost 4lbs. when I was there last week.Dr. was disapointed. Said I should have lost at least 10lb. or more and that I had wasted a month.I told him I was scared my blood sugar would bottom out if I didn't eat something even if I wasn't hungry. I am a diabetic and have lost 30lbs. since being taken off the Avandia in Oct. which is all in the news now for heart problems. The phen is mainly to just help my cravings so that my blood sugars stay in control. I am also on insulin.Weight is 200 and I would like to at least get down to 160. Have any of you had the shortness of breath? I had been very active those 2 days since the phen gives me more energy. I also have fibromyalgia, so I really suffer the days after a lot of physical activity. Any advice? Should I continue the phen? Just kinda scared right now.
