PLEASE respond.. thanks so much..Happy New Years!!

Hi There!!! Just wanted to say yes your effects your having is pretty normal...the dry mouth and also the heart racing...Mine always done that also...I no it can be scary but it will eventually go away....I mean My heart still races even tho im off the phen now and it does scare me alot to...Just make sure you dont have any caffiene while on the phen as it will make it worse and also caffiene will make u crave bad foods...I would just try the half a tablet for a while and see how u do with it...I was taking a half a tablet and still lost plenty of weight....Then once my body got used to the phen I started taking the whole tablet...And if your still having problems then I would forsure go back to the doctor....phen isnt for everyone....we are all different and some peoples body is more sensitive to the phen......Good luck!!! let us no how u do!!!!!
