I HAVE BEEN TAKING PHENTERMINE FOR A WEEK NOW, AND IT SEEMS LIKE LATELY I HAVE BEEN REAL ITCHY ON MY HANDS, ELBOWS, AND LEGS. IS THIS NORMAL? IT SEEMS TO HIT THE WORSE AT BED TIME. ANOTHER THING I HAVE NOTICED IS THAT I GET UP EVERY HOUR, IT SEEMS LIKE I CAN'T GET ANY SLEEP. DOES THIS HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE? :confused:

I have been on phentermine since Sunday and the first night I did not sleep AT ALL!!! The second night I got a few hours and last night a few more.
I think that each day gets better. I have not had any other problems.
:D

I have been REALLY itchy too...And i just started the phentermine as well and i'm not sure if it's that or the weather. My face itched really bad and my ears. And now my hands are itching. I switchted over to a diff type of phentermine (I think that's what doc did) and it's a lot better. OH yeah..sleeping is a disaster now.

Funny, I thought I was the only one itching. Mine got to the point where I was getting hives at night pretty badly (especially on my torso and neck).
Saw the doc about it and she prescribed Zyrtec. It has done wonders, now it is no problem at all.
Hope that helps someone out there!

Good to hear about the itching. I was on Phen about 2 years ago for about six months and lost over 80lbs. I love the stuff, but then it stopped working. I've gained about 30 back so I started taking it again two days ago. My back itches so badly and I have huge hives on it. I never had that before. The other side effects that I had before...runny nose...red nose...sweating...no sleep, didn't come back so I guess I can live with a little itch. However, I am happy to report that...that energy boost is back. All I want to do is clean, walk, do stuff...good news for me!
Good Luck!
