I've been on phen for 6 months now. Taking 30 mg. caps. I've lost 25 pounds and even though phen is not as effective in hunger control it still helps me with cravings. I've noticed over the last month that my hair has thinned out a lot. I now have a patch on the top of my head approx. 3 inches long and 3/4 to 1 inch wide. where I've lost hair and new stubble is growing in. I'm really scared and don't know if I should immediately stop the phen or continue since the hair is growing back. Has anyone experienced hair loss and continued with phen? Did the hair grown back, when? I've read on some of these boards that once you see hair loss the harm has already been done and that stopping the phen will not make a difference. I'm afraid that I'll lose more hair if I don't stop the phen. I have about 30 more pounds to lose. I have started eating more protein and taking vitamins which I hadn't been doing. Would appreciate any feedback. Thanks so much for any help!
