Hi there! Im really new around here.. i had a few concerns with phen so i stopped taking it and went to my Dr... i want to start back up again.. wanted to see if anyone else was having any of the same side effects or if it was a normal reaction.. first off, i was prescribed 37.5mg.. but to start off i only took half a pill in the morning... when i first took the pill within the first 20 mins my heart started to race.. then it would slow down.. had a few hot flashes..nothing bad at all..the main thing is, my heart would race out of the blue for a few minutes and then stop... it def. made me not hungry which was great.. i was releasing my bladder ALOT bc of all the water i was drinking.. def. gave me dry mouth but that wasnt bad.. on the 3rd day i felt like my heart was constantly fast.. it freaked me out a little so i checked in with my Dr... my resting heart rate before had been 88.. when i was with him on my 3rd day of half a pill it was a resting rate of 104.. i had a little tightness in my chest that day as well but he checked an EKG and it was fine.. he recommended that i only take a half every other day for a bit and see if my body took it better.. did any of this happen to yall??? he said it just isnt good for some peoples bodies but i really felt like it was working so i dont want to give it up..can anyone relate?? is this normal? i mean i know its supposed to speed up your metabolism and all.. also, has anyone taken 1/2 a pill..? will you still lose weight on that? PLEASE respond.. thanks so much..Happy New Years!!
