6 lbs in the first week is awesome. My first week I lost four. I can see by your profile that you don't have alot to lose...please keep in mind that you are not going to lose ten lbs a week like a larger person would. It just isn't physically possible!
The phen doesn't take your appetite away completely....it helps....so there are days that you are going to eat more....it is a long journey. I've been on the rollercoaster since July. I'd be lying if I say there aren't times I get frustrated, depressed, anxious etc. and binge. I'm trying to really use the med. as a tool at this point and do the work myself.
There are going to be weeks that you lose, and there are going to be weeks taht you don't even though you are trying...(for me that is PMS week!...i can't lose a freaking ounce!).
So learn from this experience and keep going. You are going to have to come off the med. eventually and be able to eat healthy and not binge.
stay well.
