I got my first prescription back in July, filled at Target and could only stand the side effects for 3 days... Headaches were unbareable and I was not going to try and see if they went away after 2 weeks. I also felt super detached, couldnt focus...

So, a friend has been on it for a few months and it is working wonderfully for her. I asked her about side effects and she said she hasnt had a problem. She gets hers filled at CVS.

I went back to my Dr on Wed, got a new prescription and took it to CVS to get it filled. I took my first one today and holy cow - no side effects - nothing! I am so relieved that this might work out!!!

Anyone else have an issue with this?? I did comapre pills and the target ones are longer and more narrow. CVS ones are shorter and a touch wider. Still the white with blue speckles...

MOST DEFINITELY! Different pharmacies use different manufacturers and from what I have heard, the difference is in the "inactive" ingredients, if I'm remembering correctly. Like you, my first round of Phen I got from the pharmacy that the Dr. told me to go to, which apparently he has some kickback or something. The side effects were horrible, my headaches were every day, I was shaky, and a bunch of other side effects. Then the second two weeks I was on them, I had NO weight loss. So, someone told me to take the script to CVS, and that's where I have gone ever since. I LOVE their pills, their is a BIG difference all the way around!

i had my 1st perscription filled at Wal-mart and they were fine.. i had absolutely no side effects... but when i went back to the dr. last week and got my second prescription i got them filled at the pharmacy that the doctor is connected to because the phamacist said they would be cheaper... uhh... not really.. they were a whopping 6 cent cheaper.... LOL!!! but i havent started them yet.. i had a couple left from my other bottle... i hope that the change in phamacies doesnt cause this problem for me... eeek!!!!!!! :confused:

Amy, I use the ones at Walmart - tablets 37.5 qualitest I just love them. No side effect after the first month, including the cotton mouth. And no appetite. I did take a week off the end of November. just to make sure I am getting the full effects from the phen. And don't forget to go to the site and use the freedrugcard.us. I pay 12.95 for 30 pills for the month.
