Congrats on the 4 kgs!! I also wanted to thank you for opening up about your previous drug abuse. It takes a lot of courage and is a good sign that you have kicked the habit.

For those of us wondering I did the conversion 94kg is about 207lbs as her start weight and a loss of about 8lbs in first four days, that's a great loss!!

Ok so now to the advice you asked for, I have been on Phen before and recently started again, the first few days I did have the extreme boost of energy and that faded very quickly. This second time around (9 months later), the increase energy faded even quicker. I still have the main desired effect of appetite suppresant which is what is most important so I don't mind. With that said, I had a bad addiction to caffine for years. I stopped drinking anything with cafine in it two years ago but occasionally accidently do have some and I guess my body is still use to it cause it has no effect on me. I can also take my Phen at 4pm and go to bed at 10! Many ppl cannot take their Phen too late or they'll be up all night. So my guess is that it just affects us all differently. As long as it still suppresses my appetite I'll be happy. I would not suggest taking any more at least not right now, and talk to your doctor about it before increasing your dosage. As far as gaining the weight back, I was off Phen for 9 months and lost another 7 pounds and then maintained. I went back on Phen so that I can lose more and make it to my goal weight. I believe as long as you get yourself into a regular exercise plan and eat right you'll be fine and wont gain any back. I hope my advice is of some relief to you. If you have anymore questions feel free to PM me or reply. i would be gald to help any way I can.
