I used to be up until 12-1 in the morning wide awake. Now come 9 PM I am dead -exhausted. I have been on Phen for 3 months now and lost a total of 6 pounds. I am going nutty as I hardly eat but lately around 8 pm I get so hungry like I could just eat everything in the house. Has anyone ever tried taking it every other day, could it be too much for my system?

Hi there-
You're not alone in the tired department. I, too, have had the same effects. However, my doc upped my dosage from 30 to 37.5mg's and that has helped a bit. One advantage to the 37.5 is that you can cut them in half so you can take half in the morning, and the other half in the afternoon. That should help you get over wanting to eat after 8 at night. I don't know what dosage you're taking, but that's an idea? But if it doesn't, my doc also told me that some people have the reverse effect when taking phen; instead of that on the go feeling, they may feel tired.

Hello and Thank You. I am taking 37.5 but its a capsule. How could I break that in half? I take it when I wake up about 9 AM. No I am bad when it comes to drinking water I have got to find a way to make me drink more water, its like I don't even think about it. But I am a coffee addict. I guess trying to keep awake.

hrh ~ i read that for cup of coffee, the coffee takes 2 cups of water out of your system. So if you drink coffee ~ you have to really drink your water.
I've been tired once in awhile. Do you go a lot of hours without eatting? I think my blood sugar gets low and then I get tired. I'm trying to eat more regularly now.
Good luck~~ see you around the forums

hi,
I agree that the 35mg tabs are great to cut in half I am doing this again I had done it in the beginning just to get used to it being in my system but with me working nights I do tend to get munchies around 4:30 thank goodness for wheat crackers that they have around work,,, 2 packs of 2 usually are enough to carry me over.
I also baught a cheap 98 cent container that had the cups on the side and keep it next to me at work and when the class is empty I fill it up again,, yes the bathroom is my friend but it seems to be working out great. I believe it is like 68 oz. so I am atleast trying to drink most of that at night while on job and finish it at home and refill once I get up from sleeping.
Good luck, I know the feeling about doing it for myself I swear I have done so many diets becouse other people or org. {Army* felt like I was to big for there standards LOL ohhh to see 180 on the scales again,,, I will,,,,,,, I actually see 190 in the scales window,,, it is to the left of the marker ,,, though it is in sight!
Don't give up!
