I just started taking phen the beginning of this month. And as of right now I am not sure what is going on. I have noticed a decrease in my appetite, and my sleeping habits have gone haywire, but I think what I have noticed the most is that I am not experiencing some of the same effects as others... Other people I know who have been or are on this have...had a major increase of energy, to the point of cleaning whole house, bouncing off the walls, extremely talkative; whereas I have no extra energy (which I could use)tiredness in the middle of the day, my sex drive just went through the roof, and I my scale is either broken or doesn't like me cause it keeps giving me numbers that bounces, and I have dry patches of skin on the outside of my upper thighs that itch. But I think right now the biggest concern I have is my period.. I am almost two weeks late! Prior to BC my periods where never right on time, but with a day or so, never this long. I stopped taking BC 3 months ago, so I expected some irregularity, but not this. :confused: Has anyone else experienced this? I had blood work for pregnancy done prior to starting phen and the results were negative, since then I have taken two home test both negative, only conclusion I have is the phen...Please let me know if anyone has has similar experience. :(

I've been taking phen for 10 days and it makes me so fatigue!!! I can barely stay awake right now. I took it around 11am b/c I've heard that you should take it on an empty stomach. It never boosts my energy! Also, every since I started experiencing a lot of itching and dry skin on my neck. I dont know how it will affect my period. I have only been on phen 37.5 10 days now.

I don't get an energy rush at all - thought I had fake pills at first!
I have seen some posts on the forum about late funky periods - starting early, starting late, etc, so it's no unheard of. I'm on BC, but my last period started a whole week early.

Thank you for the response, I hope I can get the answers soon, this is driving me nuts! I have taken two home tests and had blood work, all saying I am not pregnant, so if it is this medicine fine I just want to know!! Thanks again and good luck to all of you!

I have been on phen since November and I can say I get energy from them! I am on myne for a month and then come off for two weeks and I do find that towards the end of the month I will feel they aren't working but once Iam off for the two weeks and come back on I am full of energy and can clean and move all day long! So I feel they work differently for everyone and I am one it gives energy too!

Yesterday was my first day and I felt so good and energized! I came home from work and cleaned the entire house, cleaned out my chest of drawers, bagged stuff for goodwill and decorated my study that hasn't gotten done in 2 years since moving here! AND I moved a desk by myself into the study! Holly cow.......... not quite that way today but definately not laying on the couch like I normally would be. My only issue today is upset stomach and naseua

I usually have "extra" energy in the morning but it goes away after lunch. About 3:00 p.m. I am so tired that I could go to sleep! I don't know what happens to the energy. I also get very hungry around 4:00 p.m. I could eat any and every thing. I take the pill before breakfast around 6:00 a.m.
