I've been on Phen for 5-1/2 weeks and have lost 11-1/2 pounds. I'm also taking Chromium Picolate 3 times/day. Maybe I've been a little nauseous all along but ignored it due to getting used to eating less food and all, but for the last couple of weeks I've felt really icky. Not enough to throw up, thank goodness. This morning my husband asked me not to take anything, and to call the doctor. Well, of course I can only get thru to his nurse. She suggested my not taking anything for 2 days, see how I feel, then take the Phen for a day or two. If I'm ok, then start with the Chromium again. I know that nauseousness is a less common side effect and would hate to have to change medications. Has anyone had problems with the Chromium? I'm hoping that's what it is.

I take 200-400mg of Chromium Picolinate per day, and I have not experienced any nausea.
I take it with food (I think it might cause nausea if taken on an empty stomach.
There are so many causes of nausea though, I would definitely see your doctor.
I get nauseated from cigarette smoke, PMS, irritable bowel syndrome, and lactose intolerance. If I drink milk, I feel like im coming down with the flu all day long, FYI.
