I usually have withdrawal symptoms when I get off of phen too. I asked my weight loss doctor and she said to do half a pill for a week, then half a pill every other day for a week, and then half a pill every three days for a week. She told me that stopping them quickly is bad for the system b'c of the chemicals it suppresses in your brain.

I'm not sure on how long to wait before getting back on them... I agree that it will probably differ between doctors. My primary care said 3 months on, 1 year off... which is why I found a weight loss clinic that will prescribe them until you reach a certain BMI or you start having bad test results at your monthly visits (high BP, migranes after the initial week or two, etc)
