at this point, i'm starting to wonder if i should continue w/ the phen, or ween off and just rely on diet and excercise. its the irritibility that is killing me!!!! i'm wound up tooooo much!!! i started at 198, and am currently 166-ish. less than 10 lbs from goal!! i don't know what to do. i guess i need some advice!!!!! or, what should i do to "wean" myself? half pill, then every other day, then every 2 days? thanks for any advice!!!!

have you tried taking half in the morning and half at noon, it helps with the irritability.

I just happened to be reading a website saying that Phentermine should only be taken whole and not crushed or chewed.
If you're only 10 lbs from your goal weight and the Phen is making you irritable, maybe it would be better for you to stop taking it for now. See if you can lose the last 10 lbs on your own. If you can, reaching your goal will be even sweeter!

Have you tried 5HTP? Its helps with moods, I give myself a B-12 shot to help. But if your only 10 lbs away, I'd try to start weening off. I hear that many people gain weight back after they stop and you could start to train your body to not need it.
Congratulation on your loss and good luck!!

Congrats on the weight loss!!
If it gets bad, you should stop.....but 10 more pounds either way need to get off, so It's up to you... I would set something in my head up, like a contract. "I have 10 more pounds to lose and I'm going to do it this month and thats that." if you start backing slowly off the phen it wont be such a SHOCK when its gone from ur system so thats good, def going to need some sort of energy replacement (vitamen/supplement) when 1st get off tho, I know I got very sleepy and sluggish after I got off it and it's not fun..so DEF WORTH IT!!!! Just keep up the great work!! Get it done and over with while its available to you!!! Good Luck!! :)
