I previously was on the phen - fen diet and was able at that time to loose about 60 lbs. After the 'scare' I was unable to get any phen from doctor and regained the weight. I have a new doctor :D and will start the phen - pro diet this week. I would like to hear from someone who is on this med combo. What are your experiences, any side effects that are note worthy, any problems you have experienced since taking it. Also if you had previously been on the phen - fen combo how you feel this compares? Thanks to any replies.

I, too, took phen-fen and lost 36lbs in 6wks and than it was yanked from the market. I just started phen last wed..... How many mg of prozac are you supposed to take and when during the day? I am not taking the combo currently but am just curious (if you don't mind me asking)- I would like to ask my dr. about the prozac option.

I take 20mg of celexa and 37.5 of phen in the morning together. Lost 5lbs the first week so I guess so far the work great together.
The only symptom I seem to be having is dry mouth otherwise I feel great.

Amy/hadenough - On Phen.com home page I went under catagory Your Health and subsection :eek: Obesity Meds :o . I found a section there that referred to combined drug treatment. It listed a few drugs that could be used in conjunction with the phen. Altho I am thinking of prozac I will make final decision tomorrow on which of the anti-depressants I will use.

Hi everyone!
I'm currently on Phen 37.5 and Pro 20 mgs. I've been taking both since 2/28/02 and I haven't had any problems with them. Only, just recently, I've been experiencing alot of headaches...which I think it's due to the fact that I'm not eating like I should be. It's just that I don't really have an appetite. The only thing that I've experienced since day one is dry mouth. That's about it! Well, good luck!
